Entry Description

Hoor (a Persian word meaning “sunlight,” symbolizing life and warmth) is an urban bench inspired by Tehran’s City Theater, an architectural landmark representing cultural dialogue and artistic gathering. Its crescent form and *haft-rang* (seven-colored) handcrafted tilework reflect the geometric harmony of Persian architecture. The decorative tiles echo traditional architecture and can adapt to local motifs. The contrast between these traditional details and modern materials embodies a fusion of heritage and contemporary design, evoking life, energy, and human connection.
