Crystal Asfour Brasil
The noblest crystal of Egypt, represented in Brazil and Latin America.
A suitcase of samples and the street of chandeliers
In 2016, Asfour International, an Egyptian multinational and one of the largest crystal manufacturers on the planet, was looking for a partner with know-how in the Brazilian market. The recommendation came from where it was least expected and carried the most weight: from the then Egyptian ambassador to Brazil. The name recommended was Mohammed Darwich.
The start was the Darwich way: a suitcase full of crystal samples and visits from shop to shop, wholesaler to wholesaler, along Rua da Consolação, São Paulo’s street of chandeliers. The first container arrived from Egypt, and with it a rare strategy: instead of competing with the market, supply it. Credit for chandelier makers, wholesalers and retailers; training for those who sold; the whole market winning together.
The Saint-Gobain laboratory report
There was an obstacle: few knew Asfour, and Egyptian crystal was confused with K9, the lead-free Chinese glass. Tired of the comparisons, Mohammed gave the scientific answer: he took three samples (Asfour crystal, a Swarovski crystal and a K9) for analysis at the Saint-Gobain laboratory. The report documented:
Egyptian crystal came out of the laboratory as the purest of the three. Practically a jewel.
“I was never again going to accept seeing the noblest crystal in the world treated as ordinary glass. Not when I know what it carries.”Mohammed Darwich

The factory: crystal made in Brazil, by hand

In the same year, the pieces reached Brazilian television for the first time (Gazeta, Record and Globo), from chandeliers to handcrafted objects: the brand entering Brazilian homes through the screen.
