After graduate school, I began designing a concept furniture brand which came to be called TAVERN. This project combines my obsession with the architectural motifs of ancient Iran with contemporary materiality and futurism.
With my business partner @FUTUREZONA, the first collection of furniture and lights - ‘COSM’ - was the recipient of an Industry Canada research grant to explore the most cutting edge fabrication techniques possible. Currently, we have created several museum-grade prototypes from this collection.
COSM tells the story of multiplicity through the simplicity of the Islamic star geometry, extended into an ethereal range of three dimensional forms. These pieces combine an undeniable meditative quality, with an invigorating sense of complexity.
