Simon Arzt Store

Our products are made from FSC®-certified wood and feature five to eight layers of birch veneer, ensuring both durability and elegance. The print is applied with high-quality inkjet printers on FSC®-certified paper for vibrant, long-lasting colors.

Each piece is handcrafted, then pressed under high heat and pressure for superior quality. The melamine-based surface layer protects the motif and makes it heat-resistant up to 130°C, perfect for practical use.

The image captures a historic photograph of the Simon Arzt Store, located at the gateway to the Suez Canal. A hub for travelers en route to Africa, India, and the Far East, the store was renowned for catering to the diverse needs of international visitors. Vendors, dressed in crisp white suits and red fez or tarbooshes, were always ready to assist tourists, offering everything from cigarettes and helmets to tropical clothing and cosmetics. Beyond its retail offerings, the store featured a range of services, including a hairdresser, photo studio, pharmacy, flower shop, and even its own post office. As long as a passenger ship was docked, the doors remained open, welcoming a steady stream of global customers. The store's success was so great that it eventually expanded to include branches in New Delhi and Paris, solidifying its place as a symbol of convenience and style for travelers across the world.
