Designer Interview
28 October 2025
My mom is a painter, so I’ve been surrounded by art since I was young. I started painting at 13, and over time, my love for creativity naturally led me to design.
We help make people’s dreams come true by designing everything from interior spaces to custom furniture and even the smallest details.
Design is freedom, passion, and a new born baby.

It’s evolving towards simple, functional, and unpretentious design — yet with creativity.”
In last year .hopefully in few months.
My inspiration comes from Iranian cities, discovered through travel
My design style blends minimalism with warmth and functionality. I focus on clean forms, natural materials, and thoughtful details that enhance everyday life.
I live in Iran, where cultural heritage deeply influences my work. The craftsmanship and architecture inspire me, while limited production resources often challenge creativity in positive ways.
I work closely with companies through open dialogue, understanding their vision, and translating it into functional and aesthetic designs.
Companies should look for designers who share their values and communicate clearly. A good designer listens, questions, and collaborates, not just executes.
My process starts with observation and sketching, followed by prototyping and refining until function and emotion feel perfectly balanced.
A wooden chair I designed named Zan , a vintage lamp, a handmade ceramic vase, a modular bookshelf, and coffee table that i designed named Turan.
I start my day sketching ideas, spend time in the studio or workshop, and end the day reviewing designs or exploring materials.
Stay curious, be patient, and learn from every project. Good design grows from understanding people and solving real problems.
The positive side is creative freedom and expression; the negative is constant challenge and uncertainty — but both drive growth.
My golden rule: Design with purpose — simplicity, honesty, and usability always come first.
Observation, creativity, problem-solving, and attention to detail — combined with empathy for the user.
Sketching by hand, 3D modeling (3d max), rendering (KeyShot), and Adobe Creative Suite for presentation and auto cad .
I plan in phases — research, concept, and refinement — and set clear goals for each stage to stay focused.
It varies, but usually from a few weeks to several months depending on complexity and production testing.
People often ask where my ideas come from — my answer is always: from observation and everyday experiences and of course Iranian culture.
Founding my own furniture brand was the most defining experience — it taught me to connect creativity with real production.
Private homeowners, interior design studios, and boutique furniture companies looking for bespoke, functional pieces , jewelry shops .
Furniture design and interior design — because it bridges art, function, and emotion. It directly impacts how people experience space.
I plan to expand my studio internationally and collaborate on projects that combine cultural identity with modern design.
I usually create the concept myself, then collaborate with craftsmen, engineers, and production teams to bring it to life.
Yes, I’m developing a new furniture collection inspired by urban textures and architectural forms from Iranian cities.

Design, for me, is a continuous journey of learning and exploration. I’m always interested in collaborations that challenge ideas and bring meaningful experiences to life.
