Why Iranian-inspired
tableware?
For this tabletop project, the challenge was to choose a country that I was not familiar with and to be inspired to create a set for the cuisine. I chose Iran because I was intrigued by such vast and long history yet felt that Iran was one of the many countries that have been stereotyped and misled by many Western media and politics. I began researching about Iran and its people. The concept I repeated came across was Iranian hospitality. The Iranian people are rather open-minded and love to welcome the foreigners into their houses. Through this project, I wanted to boast and translate its beautiful long history into the modern day tableware for people in New York to dine and have a glimpse of Iran.
