The city gathers furniture production into one organized hub, with factories, workshops, exhibition halls, and shared services. This helps makers modernize their methods, improve quality and consistency, and access the machinery and facilities that small workshops alone could not afford. The aim is to move from scattered artisan production toward a more competitive, industrial-scale furniture sector while preserving the craftsmanship Damietta is famous for.
