- Production Technology
- Stainless steel sheet is selected for constructing such table due to the potential delicacy of this material. In order to achieve the excellent quality in construction, it has been tried to design the details so that the welding place is not visible on the surfaces of the table as much as possible. To minimize human error in construction, some guidelines are applied on each piece, which can be connected together like a puzzle. Moreover, CNC laser cutting and CNC machining on metal have been utilized to construct this table.
- Design Challenge
- The main challenge of this project was to create new and innovative forms from a traditional pattern and motif so when you see the whole pattern, its authenticity takes you back in time while you are still use that with modern furniture.
- Research

Although Iranians have a thousand-year-old cultural heritage, they are also extremely interested in modern lifestyle.
