Co-owner of PM lounge
Mai Thabet
I graduated from Alexandria university faculty of commerce accounting department in 1993 and got my MBA in project management in 1996
I had several jobs including banking and undergraduate teaching but mostly worked as a jeweler all my adult life as this is our family business
My passion for furniture styles started at the early age of 12 as I used to gather scraps of “house and garden ”and“ architectural digest” of the designs I like.
At 39 I decided to pursue this hobby and started a facility of old furniture renovation which I enjoyed so much as I worked with my own hands with paint
and fabric. In 2018 I joined Dr. Pakinam Awad in opening our first furniture gallery
in Alexandria.
Our aim is to expand our business into other branches in Cairo and Alexandria and that PM lounge becomes a furniture brand on its own
