Explore This Amazing WorkKhayyam Lounge Chair
Khayyam lounge chair is a design effort to put back the utility in using recycled hand-woven rugs by employing the unique qualities of them, namely the strength and weight-bearing versus body shape conformity. This all made possible by a designed structure inspired by late Iranian modernist architect's work ,Hooshang Seyhoun, for the mausoleum of Omar Khayyam, the medeival Iranian polymath. The lounge chair uses incline arches of Seyhoun's work with detachable brackets, creating a Baltic birch plywood seating loom for attaching the carpet and meanwhile making a flat-pack design.

Winner Designer
Fater Saadat Niaki
While it is often quoted "Design is intelligence made visible..."(Alina Wheeler), I think real intelligence is to make design accessible to all senses in a way that makes our differences understood as intelligible nuances that are subject to changes of perspectives. I set out my journey in the design world on a mission to help people understand each other and their environment better. I think this is what the world needs now: more empathy and less egocentric consumption... and Yes! I am an idealist that takes pride in being one! I think if we do not picture our ideals and not talk about them in fear of name-calling, we would be reduced to clueless beings who ultimately would live a regrettable mediocre life. Therefore, I have manifested my vision in serving the less fortunate people in my community by designing goods that would empower their otherwise unrecognized skills and crafts.
