Saba Yazdjerdi Explores an Ancient Martial Art in Her Debut Furniture Collection <\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

The Iranian architect Saba Yazdjerdi\u2019s debut furniture collection, the Pahlevoon Series, explores Pahlevani, a martial art originally practiced by warriors in ancient Persia. \u201cOne of my cherished childhood memories in Tehran was playing with training equipment belonging to my Agha joon,\u201d Yazdjerdi<\/a> recalls of her grandfather. \u201cI didn\u2019t know what they were, nor did I have the strength to move them, but I loved their peculiar look.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collection reinterprets these shapes as Mil-Stone, a bench in bleached ash and orange onyx; Mil-gah, a floor cushion with conical fiberglass backrests; and Kabbadeh-chin, an archery-inspired welded metal and powder-coated fiberglass sculpture in which the quiver for holding arrows becomes something far gentler: a vase for flowers. Her aim is to give the values of the tradition\u2014things like strength and selflessness\u2014literal and figurative shelter within the contemporary home. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
