AKBIK Furniture & Design

Where Heritage Becomes Living Art

Luxury Moroccan & Syrian/Levantine Furniture – Handcrafted from Earth’s Finest Materials with Exquisite Mother-of-Pearl Inlay

AKBIK Furniture & Design is more than a name — it is a legacy etched in artistry and numbers. Rooted in Mediterranean heritage and shaped by modern design sensibilities, AKBIK transforms centuries of craftsmanship into timeless furniture masterpieces.

The very letters of AKBIK carry a numerological harmony:

7 – the seeker and artisan, symbolizing exploration, refinement, and the pursuit of beauty.

8 – the guardian of mastery and balance, representing harmony, strength, and enduring excellence.

These numbers define our philosophy: every creation is not just furniture but living art — a narrative expressed through wood, shell, abalone, and mother-of-pearl: fragments of the earth and sea elevated into lasting treasures.

Our master artisans, heirs to generations of tradition, specialize in:

Luxury dining tables, consoles, and statement pieces

Custom vanities, mirrors, and accent furniture

Tailored, one-of-a-kind commissions

Each piece is:

Handcrafted with centuries-old techniques

Museum-quality and heirloom-worthy

Available in bespoke sizes, finishes, and artistic detailing

With AKBIK Furniture & Design, heritage transcends trends, infusing artistry, culture, and soul into your home.

Our Story

Founded in 1998 by furniture designer Rabi Akbik, Akbik Furniture & Design was born in Chicago from a passion for intricate timeless designs and a devotion to luxury interiors. What began as a vision has become one of the foremost names in fine handcrafted furniture, blending old-world techniques with contemporary elegance.

Our workshops and master artisans — carrying centuries of accumulated knowledge — carve, inlay, and finish every piece with precision. From Damascus to Chicago, from mosaic tradition to modern design, each work carries forward a legacy of faith, craft, and culture.

Our Craft

Mother-of-Pearl & Abalone Inlay — Iridescent mosaics shimmering with oceanic brilliance.

Solid Walnut & Rosewood — Carved with motifs echoing the Levant, Morocco, and Andalusia.

Bespoke Creations — Custom sizes, finishes, and details tailored to each client’s vision.

Beyond Furniture — Fabrics, linens, rugs, and complete interiors curated for harmony.

Our philosophy: “Furniture from Paradise for a Home from Heaven.”
