Kotn Plants Coral Benches Across Cairo for Design Week

If you’ve been wandering around Zamalek, Heliopolis, or Downtown this week and suddenly found yourself sitting on something that looks suspiciously more sculptural than your average street bench… yes, that was intentional.
Kotn, the Canada-Egypt brand that began life chasing the “perfect T-shirt” and somehow ended up with one of the highest B-Corp scores in North America, has planted a series of benches across the city for Cairo Design Week.
With their smooth, rounded silhouettes and soft coral finish, the benches are stamped with Kotn’s name in Arabic and English — a quiet intervention in the streetscape that’s difficult to ignore.
