SHAH

Shaah is the name of this chair. I have not engaged in conscious thinking to present this design. In the spring of 2022, I suffered from a type of respiratory disorder (angio edema) for a while, which deprived me of the ability to sleep. I didn’t sleep for 25 days and nights and I only passed out in moments. My mind was severely impaired and I had lost my ability to concentrate. I was experiencing different spectrums of illusions from nightmare to dream.

The general form of this chair came to my mind in such a mood, And my only effort was to optimize and rationalize the form so that on the way to becoming a chair, it would still be a qualitative narrator, I had seen in my mental uncertainties.

With a closer look, it is obvious that there is a similarity between the lines and curves of this form with classical Iranian paintings that are drawn with the subject of king hunting.  

My reasoning of this similarity is the unconscious influence of forms, patterns, images and visual symbols of Iranian identity.
