AKBIK Furniture & Design

Where Heritage Transforms Into Living Art

AKBIK is more than just a name — it is a legacy illuminated by light.
It carries centuries of tradition and transforms them into timeless works of beauty.
Rooted in heritage and driven by a passion for craftsmanship, AKBIK reflects the harmony of 7, the seeker and artisan, and 8, the guardian of mastery and balance — symbols of an inner journey of meaning and an outer expression of excellence.

In the artistry of its letters:
A is the beginning, born of intuition and inspiration.
K is the keystone, the element that unites structure and design in harmony.
B is the womb, the birthplace of form and beauty.
I is the embodiment and individuality of creativity.
K is the keystone of completion, sealing the cycle with stability, precision, and craftsmanship.

This rhythm embodies harmony, balance, and beauty.
At AKBIK, materials are never merely materials;
wood, shell, abalone, and mother-of-pearl are signs — fragments of sea and earth transformed into masterpieces of enduring artistry.

Each piece is not just furniture, but a story in form,
a bridge between past and future, shaped by artisans who carry the wisdom of generations.
AKBIK Furniture & Design invites you to embrace this legacy in your home —
not as mere décor, but as living art that speaks of heritage, harmony, and soul.

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.

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.”
