Interviews with Mohammad Meyzari

I loved interior design and costume design since I was a child, so in high school I decided to study interior design at university.
The roots of my taste and talent have been with me since I was a child, and I think that this talent in designing is a God-given blessing.

Along with design, I am thinking of finding a way to improve the quality of human life
Sometimes I find this quality in designing a particular form inspired by nature and sometimes in other ways
But I always try to help the environment around me and not harm it.

I have always been passionate about design
The same enthusiasm of childhood
Pure and white
And usually when the form is formed and the final product comes out of the mold, I feel like I have a new baby
I choose a name for him and always call him my son

Being emotional helped me a lot to connect with the nature around me and to consider it as my source of inspiration.
The gentle spirit made me look around very well and learn many lessons from them

have always tried to create different experiences of people accompanying the flame for people
My goal in the coming years is to create new and more exciting experiences than this
Larger works with larger dimensions for long-term use

It's never too late to start
And of course you have to spend a lot of time learning
Always update their information and strive to be creative
Examine the needs of modern human life and make the best designs for them
And always keep in mind that their design should not harm nature

They should avoid designing useless products
Products that do not provide good service in the end
And always remember to keep an eye on nature

Every day I start with a great breakfast, then I go to the gym and prepare my body and soul to start.
After that, I go to my personal workshop and start making orders with my team. In the middle of the day, I check design sites and new design magazines and update my information.
Lunch is eaten with friends and in the workshop
And in the afternoon, after a short break, I do things again and at night I try to go out for inspiration from nature.

I usually use my own method to make my products
And I do not use the design methods of other designers
And my approach is to look at nature differently and eventually turn it into products
This inspiration from nature is not limited to form. It is also inspired by color, smell, texture and feeling

Good design penetrates the human soul when you see it, and you do not need a special meter to measure it.
If a work of art or the design of a product has a good effect on your soul, then its design has been good and successful

When I feel good and positive by seeing that design

Zagros is my biggest experience inspired by nature and I am always proud of it

Zaha Hadid

I live in Isfahan
One of the cities of Iran
A city rich in culture, music, architecture and art. All this has caused me to be involved with this art since I was a child

I work with my small team in a personal workshop
Working with our team is very enjoyable
We always consult about things together and move forward together

I donate part of my business income to a charity
To treat pediatric cancer

After winning the competition, our products were seen more.
More people sent us messages to work with and we got in touch with them

My main concern, which I always carry, is to organize spaces and to make the atmosphere better in which I live or spend time. This organization extends from sorting space to designing it and arranging things in it. The primary motivation for entering this field, this field of study at the University helped me to learn more and find and carry out better ways to implement my ideas.

I chose to be a designer then I'm happy about that.

After graduating from the university, I realized that I was more interested in designing the interior accessories of the house and continued and will continue to do so.

I could become a successful designer with great effort and perseverance. It made it easier to see a lot of good designs and combine them with my taste.

Creating a visually specific work and a different sense in the experience of interacting with that product.

A good design should be able to communicate with the user or viewer and organize the messiness within him so that the person will experience a better mood by seeing or using it.

Good design will prompt to occur good things in the context of a society. The effects of design on the spirit and the soul of people will create a suitable platform for the growth of the people and this is the reason for the investment in good designs.

Home interior accessories and firstly for my brand pursuers because I will be OK with their energy.

Exporting the designs of my collection and showing them to all nationalities and peoples around the world.

I have always tried to keep my great sorrows as a source of energy for creating my works and creating unique things from them.

I was always influenced by nature because I believe that human peace is tied to nature.

I love Zaha Hadid's designs because it causes new sensory experiences in human nature.

My main design is the creation of liquid-fueled candles because it changes the imagination and definition of a candle and shows the audience that a candle is not necessarily solid paraffin with a wick that occurs with messy. Rather, a candle can be environmentally friendly, durable, and inexhaustible that gives you the same old feel.

See more and promote personal tastes. By combining these two, they can achieve great success.

I love carpentry because I could create new objects.

Design for me is to connect with nature to inspire and return to personal interests so that it eventually becomes the desired result, which is good design.

My main protector is myself, then my family

Seeing a lot of artworks as well as taking seriously my potential in this field.

Always the main challenge was to prove myself and my abilities to others.

In the best possible way, they should present their work because I believe that the potentials of a good plan can always be found by providing a good presentation. And this presentation can start from good photography and video making to participate in prestigious competitions.

My next design project is to design a 5-flame bowl that is rechargeable. These flames will never-ending at all. This flame comes out of the center of a container full of sand.

Creating a positive mood for myself and all people around me and at the next degree for the people of the world as well as taking care of nature.

Designing things they've never seen before and wanting to create different objects for them all the time.

Creating a good product will make the consumer mentally uncomfortable that the mental health of citizens will create a better and more dynamic society.

Design the new product that I look forward to producing.

Liquid fuel candle project because people are happier and satisfied with the experience of interacting with it. It also caused less damage to nature.

Less use of natural resources and more use of resources that do not toxic to nature or at least have the least damage.

Generally, I see the future of design great because creative and motivated young people stepped into this field.

Usually between one and two months.

I start from finding the source of inspiration, and then the original designs and mental and intellectual etudes.

Look well, think well, and design well.

Each project can be different. Sometimes the process is straight and sometimes vice versa.

By using new technologies, I can deal differently in designing. Think more creatively and don't need to worry about how to produce it because, with new technologies, a lot of things that used to be impossible can be designed and implemented now.

I usually use AutoCAD 3D for design.

Obviously, many things help us with a design. Especially in designing for space helps us to go through our design process. Color, pattern, and environment are among the factors that will show the direction to us in this way.

I like to be asked about the sources of design inspiration.

I would be very happy and more than thinking about something, I would try to enjoy seeing and communicating with it.

I care a lot about teamwork. Because I am not an expert in all fields and I do not have complete information, so we would like to work with a team of experts in the fields related to those goods when a product is being created.

The main impact I got was from university professors and architectural engineers with whom I passed the training course.

D.K. Ching book of form and space and order. In this book, there are all the principles that a designer should know at the beginning of his work.

By observing the good designs that were done all over the world. The TV programs that have been prepared in this field and finally a lot of work and designing.

Zaha Hadid.

Orange / Italy and Spain / Barberry Rice with chicken / Spring and Autumn / I love the Armani brand.

It feels so good. Because it makes you well known, interact, and talk with a lot of people.

I do not remember any special memory.

A good day for me starts with a great breakfast as well as exercising with my friends.

Yes, as I was a child many of our relatives told me that you would become a designer because I deal with it in different ways.

If we move forward in this way, the following years will not be a fine and quiet place for the life of the human soul, but if we change in the process of using resources, it will be a better place to live with the advancement of technology in this world.

I'd like to be more in touch with the products created by my group and send me their opinions about them. Via Instagram, email, and other ways.

My studio, Roch, focuses on the design of the accessories called candles, but not the candles we know and remember from the old days, but candles with a modern and environmentally friendly approach. Durable and continuous charging. No environmental harms.

Design for me is equal to communicating with nature and creating a unique work to create a different communication experience. Something that may have originated from the past but is different from its past though is in harmony with the present era.

I particularly like the design of accessories and interiors of the house. Of course, first and for all, anything that comes from the flame.

Obviously, the liquid-fueled candle that won the A’Design award 2020 is my most popular design, because it provided a very different experience of candles. On the other hand, it was rechargeable and affordable. Also, with good fuel, it can make the space beautiful for long hours without environmental pollution.

My first design started with the design of concrete containers for paraffin.

Concrete, paraffin, and glass are my favorite materials also my favorite technology is a 3D printer because I can print any design and make molds at it and produce that by concrete.

When I can create something for my audience that they have never experienced before, that guarantees the health of their body and soul.

I contemplate the newness of the work when I design, and the next step, how far I can serve humanity and nature by designing it.

Usefulness, being creative, and love.

Succeeding and enjoying being influential.

In my opinion, creativity, application, and how much a design can contribute to the health of nature, there are three main parameters for the analysis of a good design.

Creativity

Obviously, a good design should be able to make a positive psychological impact on the other person, and this good feeling will help people to make a better society and also have to guarantee higher health of the environment.

If we move forward in this way, we can’t find resources in the next few years to use. So, I think we need to change the process of using resources in designs so we can contribute more to our environment and other resources that are living on this planet. Using renewable resources and environmentally friendly materials that can be effective ways.

My last exhibition was in the Tehran Ariana Fereshteh Garden Complex, and we have not specific timing for the next exhibition because of the corona virus conditions, thus we will hold the next exhibition at the first opportunity when the situation gets better.

I collect ideas by seeing artifacts from all over the world as well as being inspired by nature.

I choose the modern title for my style, the simplicity and minimality of the designs of the present age are something that affects me because at my designs there is always minimality, which makes it easy to communicate with that plan in a short time.

Iran. My country has always been a good source of design for me in terms of its history in design and art, and this heritage has always made me look back as well as the future in design that the integration of these two has always been the output of my work.

I usually work with companies on each project. I work freelance.

In my opinion, design happens in loneliness, quiet, and peace of mind, of course, 90% of the time. Therefore, choosing designers who have no concerns other than design can be a good criterion for choosing them properly.

My design process always starts in a moment, I have a spark in my mind the new idea comes up. Then it continues with the looking and searching around that idea, then, the process of preparing initial etudes and the construction of test samples, afterward fixing the prototype bug until reaching the final and complete the sample.

Candles. Lampshade. Sculptures. Wall knocker. Candlesticks

The beginning of the morning always starts with a complete and delicious breakfast, going to the gym, hot shower, a cup of tea, go to the workshop and personal studio and handle the new designs and production line of products. At lunchtime, I eat a meal with my colleagues. In the afternoon I take a short break and then a companion to see friends and designers at night to collaborate or talk about work.

To be more connected to the people around. Have more conversations with the surroundings and the people around them so they can design better.

The positive point of being a designer is that you can help people and the community around you with the right designs. The negative matter of being a designer is that you always have a disturbance in dealing with cases or places that have not the proper design, which makes you always think about how to improve the design of this subject, and sometimes all this thought for one subject causes you can't enjoy enough.

Seeing more artworks and communicating with many people.

Good and detailed viewer, creative and familiar with new production technologies.

Usually, a notebook that I use for primary etudes, 3D code for modeling, and then sculpture clay to make my ideas.

With a list of things I have to do on the day, I usually manage my time, and up to now, these lists make me able to carry out 95% of my schedules timely.

It depends on the type and application of the product, but it usually takes between one to two months from the beginning of the production process to the final implementation.

How did I become a designer?

Designing modern candles was my most important job experience.

Galleries and collections for the production of home interior decoration products and accessories.

Designing the candles of my collection. Because I tried for years to have this collection, and I chose it based on my interests.

Designing a bowl of five flames is the next thing to do in the complex.

Inside my group, which produces modern candles, I do the work.

Yes, the production of a 5-flame bowl that is rechargeable and the flames raised from sand, and it will bring a new sense and experience to the consumer.

Via my personal or business Instagram or personal email.

I do no take into account anything special.

With a lot of investigations, we were able to determine a part of the topography of the place that has the potential to place the flames, in addition to the format of its visual beauty, so that it can remain beautiful when the flame is off.

The use of artificial stone material or pseudo-concrete represents the Zagros mountain range, so artificial stone material was used to evoke the same mountain.

According to the proportions of contemporary life, it was necessary to design the product in a way that is in harmony with these proportionsLife in today's age must be fast and accurate, so using old candles that need constant maintenance and cleaning is not a good option, that's why we used a fuel with a new formula that doesn't need maintenance and cleaning, and at the same time Do not harm the environment

Zagros is not only a modern candle but also a decorative itemWe thought about the times when this product might be off, so it should have a different and attractive appearance. That's why we considered the product in two states, on and off, and tried to design it

This achievement definitely encouraged us to pay more attention to these features in new designs.Preventing damage to the environment and the living environment is one of our main goals, and we will always strive to minimize this damage by finding solutions that are suitable for modern life.Certainly, being seen and winning this competition has added to our motivation to make more efforts in the future.

Lighting a fire in Iranian culture is an ancient symbol, which is more colorful in the Zagros mountains and the tribes where they live.We were inspired to respect this culture

As I said before, contemporary life needs more precise proportionsA product can play a role in the current life that solves these worries and concernsZagros is a product that fulfills these needs

Finding an accurate and durable formula for the fuel was the main challenge, which we were able to achieve after conducting numerous experiments.This fuel had to be in accordance with contemporary living conditionsAmong the characteristics of this fuel are its non-smokeability, non-allergy to the consumer, and durabilityThese characteristics were achieved through numerous experiments

Zagros is a new idea for modern candles. This idea can spread quickly and gain a large market share. In contemporary life, we see little time and many activities that can no longer be faced with these issues with past technology. So our product can meet the needs of contemporary man and at the same time be as beautiful as the past.

The two special materials that we use in the design of our products are glass and concrete, which makes it possible to use them in many spaces due to the attractive appearance of these two materials together.

Market surveys showed that people are more interested in products that can be continuously charged than disposable products and candles, so we used a cheap and new fuel so that a wide range of society can use this product.

One of our challenges was to achieve the final formula for the fuel, a fuel that could be easily available and durable, and also not harm the environment.This fuel is the most important part of the product, without it the product would be meaningless and uselessThe only feature that allowed us to create a product that is reminiscent of the past and at the same time meets the needs of contemporary life is liquid fuelThis fuel is highly durable and very cheap and is convenient for public consumption

Our team tries to produce products that are long-lasting and cause less damage to the environment and its resources.Producing a candle that can reduce this damage and at the same time be as beautiful as its previous format was something we always thought aboutSo we worked hard to solve this issue and finally reached the final product

In addition, the method of refueling this product is very easy. You remove the lid of the product, pour fuel into it, close the lid again and light the wick.The ease of refueling and also recharging the product with fuel was one of the things that we tried to do in the easiest way possible because this product is going to be in the hands of many people with different abilities, so it was necessary for everyone to be able to use it easily.

Our goal is to create durable containers for storing liquid fuelConcrete material creates this ability and the finished price is cheapAnd finally, the flames balance the apparent heaviness of the concrete

There are many diseases caused by solid paraffin candlesAllergies, respiratory problems and types of sensitivityWe were looking for a formula that would not create any of these problems for the consumer, and finally we produced a fuel that is odorless, smokeless, and sick to the consumer.

Candle with liquid fuel fulfills both the needs of today's societyIt offers you both a real flame and has the ability to chargeFlame from the old world and charging capability from the modern world

Obviously, this award has made this product more visible and its high potentialThe use of liquid fuel is only a primary solution to prevent damage to natureCertainly, in future designs, this idea will be more complete and will be accompanied by better and more attractive methodsAll our efforts are to create products with a good sense of the past in contemporary life
