MF & Associates introduces the new design for BLK Cab Coffee & People in London, reimagining the space with a contemporary approach that honors the brand’s roots. Inspired by the iconic black cab, the design merges the dynamic energy of London’s streets with a warm and inviting atmosphere, creating a destination where coffee and community meet. The project reflects a seamless collaboration with IM Branding Experience, blending traditional elements with modern details to celebrate both heritage and innovation. Every aspect of the space has been thoughtfully crafted to provide patrons with an engaging experience that resonates with the essence of London’s urban life. To explore more about the project and its inspiration, read the full article here.
Two restaurants designed by MF & Associates have been recognized in the prestigious MENA's 50 Best Restaurants 2025 awards: Sachi Heliopolis and Sachi Park St. Sachi Heliopolis, located in Cairo's Korba district, secured the 27th spot. Established in 2014 by Ayman Baky, this flagship venue offers elevated Mediterranean classics in an intimate setting, making it a cornerstone of Cairo’s dining scene. Sachi Park St., situated in Giza’s Sheikh Zayed area, earned the 40th spot. This stylish sibling to the original Sachi features a double-height ceiling with mezzanine seating, a large outdoor bar, and a show kitchen. The menu, enhanced by consultant chef Reif Othman, introduces inventive dishes that blend occidental flavors with Sachi's core pillars of sharing, family, and comfort. These accolades highlight the importance of thoughtful design in creating exceptional culinary experiences.
At MF and Associates, we pride ourselves on telling stories through design, and the newly opened Sachi at Marassi Marina is no exception. Partnering with Sachi’s visionary team, Mohamed Fares led our efforts to craft a space that resonates with the marina’s natural beauty. Inspired by the rhythm of the sea, we incorporated nautical elements and organic textures to create an environment that reflects the vibrant coastal lifestyle. This project is a testament to our belief that great design goes beyond aesthetics—it builds experiences, tells stories, and connects people to their surroundings.

Mohamed Fares is an indelible part of Egypt’s creative zeitgeist. Highlights of his career trajectory include his current position as Chief Designer of Alchemy Design Studio as well as representing Egypt at the International Young Design Entrepreneur (IYDE) Awards in 2008 held in London.
