Entry Description

"Zeen" is a chaise lounge designed to integrate Iran's rich cultural heritage into modern life. In Persian, "Zeen" means "saddle." Drawing inspiration from the history of Iranian furniture and the deep-rooted lounging postures depicted in ancient art, this design reflects the horse as an iconic symbol in Persian culture. By incorporating abstract elements of the horse, it offers nostalgic yet functional postures such as lounging, cross-legged sitting, and leaning on traditional Iranian carpets, creating a meaningful and comfortable experience that bridges past and present.
