Egyptian craftsman turns Cairo's junk into funky furniture
By Reuters Staff
2 MIN READ
CAIRO, Feb 22 (Reuters) - In the heart of Cairo, a city all too familiar with
environmental problems, Ibrahim Abougendy is doing his bit by converting
discarded junk into innovative modern furniture.
A bed made of car tyres and washing machine drums, an old suitcase turned
into a chair, or a chest of drawers that is now a sofa, each item is unique -
and environmentally friendly, using things that would otherwise be dumped.
一張由汽車輪胎和洗衣機滾筒製成的床，一個變成椅子的舊手提箱，或者現在變成沙發的
五斗櫃，每件物品都是獨一無二的——而且是環保的，使用了原本會被丟棄的東西。
“We live in a system where we’re constantly striving to buy new things ...
but in light of the economic conditions the country is facing, you can now
think of your scrap as something with potential or something that you can use
to make something new and different,” Abougendy told Reuters.
Many of the items that 25-year-old Abougendy uses at his upcycling company
Mobikya are given to him by clients for repurposing as something new.
“The more scrap they give to us, the less they have to pay,” he said.
The used tyres, one of the firm’s most commonly used materials, are acquired
from mechanics before they can be sent off for burning - one of the causes of
Cairo’s smog. (Reporting by Mohamed Zaki; Writing by Nadine Awadalla;

埃及首都開羅，近期路邊出現特別的「貓窩」，這款貓窩由廢棄輪胎製成，擺在街頭，讓
流浪貓可以躲在裡頭避寒。
埃及開羅、吉薩等城市路邊都擺上這款經過設計的貓窩，除了環保外也兼具美觀，外觀
經過上色，就像裝置藝術，分成2貓房型以及5貓房型，讓流浪貓有避冬的地方，又能
兼顧市容。
該貓窩的設計師阿布降狄（Ibrahim Abougendy）表示，雖然貓可以在嚴苛的環境下生存
，但因氣候變遷的影響，埃及也有降雪、下大雨的狀況，讓流浪貓的生活更艱辛，所以設
計了這款貓窩，幫助貓咪遮風擋雨。
因貓窩是廢棄輪胎製成，主要材質為橡膠的輪胎，可以有隔熱效果，目前改造了2貓、5貓
房型，貓窩可堆疊，也很方便搬運。
