Brut Studios was founded by Salah Chahin and Mo Kabbani, two people shaped by different worlds yet connected through a shared heritage and a deep interest in textiles.
Salah spent over a decade in Berlin, drawn to the city’s architecture, clarity of form, and intentional approach to shaping space. His background in design agencies and fashion sourcing introduced him to the material and production processes behind clothing, and to the growing need for more transparent, sustainable practices.
Mo comes from a family with long-standing roots in the Egyptian textile industry, where understanding cotton is a lived practice, inherited, intuitive, and grounded in generations of experience. He studied textile engineering and specialized in fine fabric production, bringing a technical depth that extends from fiber to finished fabric.
Brut Studios began when these perspectives naturally aligned.
Berlin offered a design language defined by proportion, structure, and restraint.
Egypt offered material truth, extra-long staple cotton and the rare continuity of spinning, weaving, dyeing, and sewing within one region, where craftsmanship remains close to its origin.
Brut Studios lives in the intersection of these two environments.
Shaped by architectural clarity and textile sensitivity, each piece carries the calm of minimal design and the depth of real material expertise. Our collections are designed in Berlin with a focus on simplicity and atmosphere, then crafted in Egypt with long-staple cotton known for its softness, durability, and breathability.
For us, bedding is not an afterthought.
It is a daily practice, a material that meets the body for hours at a time, and an object that shapes the feeling of a room. Our intention is to create pieces that are honest, long-lasting, timeless, and rooted in both cultural and technical understanding.
Brut Studios is a bridge between two places, two ways of seeing, and two forms of knowledge, a project built on contrast and complement, designed to bring quiet refinement into personal spaces.
