About Moshabak Unazë

Moshabak është një unazë e frymëzuar nga rrjetat e grilave gjeometrike të shtëpive të vjetra persiane. Unaza vishet në gisht dhe kthehet drejt dritës, në mënyrë që motivi i hapur të hedhë hije dhe modele mbi dorë. Forma është e balancuar dhe e lehtë në peshë. Harqet ergonomike në të dy anët mbështeten mbi gishtat fqinjë për komoditet. Dizajni u modelua me softuer tredimensional, u printua në dyllë dhe u derdh në ar të verdhë 18 karatësh me finiturë të lëmuar në pasqyrë. Prodhohen gjithashtu versione në ar rozë dhe argjend.
