Key concept word: Camouflage
The limelight naturally falls on the marine life and an attempt to mimic its mysterious and quirky but foreboding energy. The soft splash a fin makes, the swoosh of the tail, the subtle dance of the anemone, the shimmer of light rays throught the water, the supple branching out of the corals and the very bold intent of its inhabitants assemble their qualities to identify with Shaghayegh Tafreshi’s designs.
This marriage of nuance with function and intention through metaphors or unconventional approaches to double entendre and mimicry, our space wishes to materialize the spirit that her creations hold.
Simultaneously, with the world advancing itself towards solace and comfort in the workplace, we pare back from alarming vibrance to a design concept that reveals less, and veils more- ultimately a space and its utility entirely left to explore.
Design Statement
Fashioned from the designer’s objective to inlay abstract storytelling in her creations, the design for the fashion studio divulges in its correlation to the human experience and more specifically, its seamless metastasis in the working environment. Our design seeks to mimic the subtle and playful tales that sway in the aquatic world. Inspired by these qualities, the spaces and aesthetics of the designs are interwoven with serenity of individual workplaces and the gratification of community and collaboration.
The experience deigned to fabricate is not that of a jittery working environment but an assemblage of systems and functions that nudge one to create. Synonymously, a place where infirmity is camouflaged
