“This collection is an attempt to create a tangible connection to this place suspended in time, while also imagining it as a futurist fantasy.” The latest collection by New York based duo Apparatus Studio, Act III, is a studious and intense personal foray into cofounder Gabriel Hendifar’s Iranian cultural heritage. The result is a stunning 20 piece collection debuting during Milan Design Week comprised of lighting, furniture and limited edition small objects, the latter designed in collaboration with @shirin_ehya but put on hold due to political sanctions. Hendifar’s journey represents the commonality of designers from the Middle East region dealing with diaspora, politics, the weight and potential of heritage and how all that can inform their process and vision for the future. 🖤 @apparatusstudio @jeremy_r_anderson ⠀⠀ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ⠀⠀ #gabrielhendifar #apparatusstudio #iraniandesign #milandesignweek #isaloniofficial #fuorisalone #salondelmobile #milan #culture #heritage #newdesign #designmatters #gooddesign #designcrush #newmiddleeastbydesign #collectibledesign #letternoon #curateddesign #nyc #unitedbydesign #newterritories #collectors #liveyourroots #independentdesign #designstudio #iranianamerican #middleeastern #contemporarydesign #curatedlife #storyoftheday (at Apparatus Milan)
