The film of 'The Prince of Egypt'-1998 represents the history of the Egyptians which also shows the living surrounding
Slaves
working on the sculpture of the Egyptian’s king’s sculpture
In the film they're representing paint on walls just like the ancient Egyptians have, this is to show like a story telling on the wall showing with symbols and actions of what was going on/ how the procedure used to be.
Here I took a shot of the Egyptians pharaoh interior, which I link to the modern designed bedrooms that stylize the Egyptians.
The first gaze on this modern bedroom was the colour of the walls designed with a simple pattern, the colour of the curtains and the lampshades, the plant pots that are designed with a bubbly golden design. The ceiling design is repeated from the headrest bed, I also link the legs of the bed that looks like the Egyptian columns those that has the structure of the head at the top.Overall I link the headrest bed to the last screen shot I took. Behind the royal master that supervise most of the responsible things, there's a stone with fans coming out from it which I associate it to the headrest.
The necklace is representing the 'winged sun disk', the round disk is the sun with the stretched wings together with the snakes joined at the sides.
This is Isis the goddess (cleoptra) wearing the long wig and the crown that is representing the feathers of the peacock. Here we can also notice the jewellery she's wearing around her arm.
Nowadays you see it in jewelery shops, which that indicates an influencial in fashion from the Egyptians:
A spiral cobra armlet
This is a building in 'Place du Cairo', Paris designed in 1828, which there are represented the heads of Hathor sculptures, including Egyptian carving on wall.
Here I'm showing an example with a timeline that represents the influences of the Egyptians, this is a process of chairs (furniture) that were designed by well known designers:
Furniture design has started from the beginning of history. What is included in the timeline are the different styles that changed from time to time.
The Art Deco is one particular style that takes influences from the first source, so Egyptian was one that inspired them.
Another example of art deco style that was inspired by Egyptians:
This chair has been made in Italy and then finished in USA, the silver chair framing is designed from the egyptian feather fans (sunshade) that was mostly popular in the Pharaoh.
This has effected the fascination of Ancient Egypt that was being developed in clothing, jewellery, furniture, graphic design and architecture.
This is a scarab necklace, which was a symbol of protection. It has been designed by beth voltz who bases on jewelery designs.
This jewellery looks like it's made out of metal, it has a lot of texture lines especially on the wings, that lead to one point perspective and the main point is the scarab.
This is a graphic design based on the art deco, I see that the designer may got influenced from a patterns and experimenting with colours.
