Nima BavardiGUEST
Actually, Iran has an incredible heritage when it comes to light, architecture, geometry, color, and reflection.

Nima BavardiGUEST
You can see it in traditional architecture, glass, mirror, patterns, and especially in the relationship between sunlight and shadow.

Nima BavardiGUEST
But personally, I don't want to simply copy traditional form and put them just directly into my modern products.

Nima BavardiGUEST
And I'm much more interested in the thinking behind them and geometry, repetition, reflection, solid and void, light and shadow.

Nima BavardiGUEST
And I think heritage become really interesting when you understand its DNA and then translate it into something modern and contemporary.

Julie ConwayHOST
Is there something you would like to see in the world of design or maybe you're creating it through ULP and Design Noir?
