Solid Studio

Solid Studios is a design studio founded by Yalda Kiani in 2015, dedicated to crafting objects in collaboration with local artisans and using locally sourced materials. Drawing on a background in architecture, the studio aims to bridge the gap between architectural concepts and the creation of smaller, functional objects. With a passion for experimentation, Solid Studios takes on the responsibility of revitalizing traditional Persian craftsmanship to suit a modern context.

This artisanal furniture studio places great emphasis on evoking emotions in its audience and establishing a profound connection between them and the materials, be they natural or industrial. Each product is meticulously designed to narrate a story, guiding users to engage with different facets of architecture on a smaller, sculptural scale — akin to small beacons of artistry. In line with Persian artistic traditions, where geometry played a pivotal role in shaping forms and structures, Solid Studios explores the concept of deriving abstract forms from these geometric principles. By integrating these basic principles, the studio breathes contemporary life into materials, creating a harmonious fusion of tradition and modernity.
