Most of us have only been exposed to the concept of infinite loops while on hold with your credit card or phone company, but infinite loops can also be a beautiful and less frustrating concept not involving a phone. Aesthetically popularized by M.C. Escher, Escher himself would be feverishly sharpening his pencil if got a gander of this infinite loop forming table. Inspired by the “slow and perpetual flow of the Nile River,” the “Endless Nile” table by Karim Rashid, is a fluid form of DuPont Corian molded over a steel structure on a wooden base. As part of the newly formed Design Republic of Egypt brand, Mr. Rashid’s composition for Amr Helmy Designs hopes to showcase Egyptian’s take on international design trends around the globe.

Karim Rashid has created The Endless Nile table for Amr Helmy Designs.
A consortium of Egyptian interior design companies, including Amr Helmy Designs, came together to form the Design Republic of Egypt brand, intending to develop interior solutions combining Egyptian creativity with international design trends.
This new design, while inspired by the past, deconstructs conventional table and seating concepts to recombine them in an original and contemporary solution.
The Endless Nile table is inspired by the slow and perpetual flow of the Nile river.
Having a wooden base with a steel structure, the white Dupont Corian brings fluidity into the design and clearifies the lines and its structure.
Israeli designer Itay Ohaly combines clean lines and a modular concept in much of his furniture. Sheep is a table made up of several walnut and Corian tables that can be arranged in a variety of ways, inside and outside the box. The Siamese Threesome is a set of three pieces that can function as tables, chairs and stools or a bench by removing or repositioning the backrests. Crows on a wire come to mind when we see Birds, a set of lights on a string that can be set up, again, in so many different combinations.
