A Legacy of Global Exchange

A creative studio that blends art, design, and functionality to elevate your space and style. In 1923, Simon Arzt opened a grand emporium in Port Said where travelers discovered objects of beauty between continents. Today, Simon Arzt Studio honors this heritage through pieces that celebrate the beauty of materials and the integrity of form. Each piece is carefully crafted with attention to detail—from trays with timeless motifs to organic apparel and prints from across the globe—bringing a refined aesthetic to modern living and designed to be cherished for years to come.

The original Simon Arzt Store stood as a beacon along the Suez Canal, welcoming travelers journeying between Europe, Africa, and Asia. It was more than a shop—it was a cultural crossroads where East met West, where the exotic mingled with the familiar, and where discerning collectors discovered objects they couldn't find anywhere else. The store became legendary among travelers, a destination in itself rather than merely a stop along the way.

This spirit of discovery and global exchange continues to define Simon Arzt Studio today. Every piece in the collection tells a story that transcends borders—whether it's a tray adorned with classical Renaissance motifs, contemporary abstract patterns inspired by Bauhaus design, or organic cotton garments that speak to modern sustainability values.

The studio curates and creates with the same eye for beauty and quality that made the original Port Said emporium a must-visit destination.

Craftsmanship Meets Intention

At Simon Arzt Studio, design is never arbitrary. Each object is conceived with purpose, created to serve both aesthetic and functional needs. The trays, for instance, aren't simply decorative—they're designed to be used daily, to hold your keys by the door, to serve breakfast in bed, to display treasured objects on a console. The art prints transform walls into galleries, bringing museum-quality imagery into your home.

The organic apparel bears the studio's iconic logo, crafted from sustainable materials that feel as good as they look.

This commitment to intentional design means that every material is carefully chosen, every detail considered. The studio works with artisans and makers who share this philosophy, ensuring that each piece meets exacting standards of quality and craftsmanship. These aren't fast-fashion objects designed to be discarded after a season—they're investments in beauty, function, and longevity.

Art for Everyday Living

What sets Simon Arzt Studio apart is its belief that art shouldn't be precious or untouchable. The most beautiful objects should be the ones we use every day, the ones that bring joy to our morning routines and evening rituals. A tray becomes a canvas for artistic expression. A t-shirt becomes a statement of values. A print becomes a window into another world, another time, another perspective.

The studio's collections span centuries and continents, bringing together influences from classical art, modern design movements, and contemporary creativity. You might find motifs inspired by 18th-century engravings alongside bold geometric patterns that echo Bauhaus principles. This eclectic approach reflects the original spirit of the Port Said emporium, where treasures from around the world sat side by side, waiting to be discovered.

Sustainability and Timelessness

In an age of disposable culture, Simon Arzt Studio stands for something different. The organic materials used in the apparel line aren't just better for the environment—they're better for you, softer against your skin, more durable over time. The prints are produced using archival-quality processes that ensure they'll retain their beauty for generations.

The trays are made to withstand daily use while maintaining their elegance.

This focus on longevity extends beyond materials to design itself. Rather than chasing trends, the studio creates pieces with timeless appeal—objects that will look as beautiful in your home ten years from now as they do today. This is design with integrity, made to last, made to be loved.

Bringing the World Home

Just as the original Simon Arzt Store brought the world to travelers at a crossroads, Simon Arzt Studio brings global artistry into your home. Each piece is an invitation to explore, to discover, to see beauty in unexpected places.

Whether you're drawn to the classical elegance of Renaissance-inspired motifs or the clean lines of modernist design, you'll find objects that speak to your aesthetic and enhance your space.

These are pieces meant to be lived with, to become part of your daily rituals, to tell your story. They're conversation starters and quiet companions, functional tools and works of art. They're the kinds of objects you'll treasure for years, perhaps even pass down to the next generation—just as travelers once cherished the discoveries they made at the original Port Said emporium.

Welcome to Simon Arzt Studio, where art, design, and everyday living come together.
