11th December: Hadi Teherani

Hadi Teherani, architect and designer: "For me it is less about mathematical logic than about conveying an awareness of life and security, mastering inspirations. In this way a chair or an armchair becomes a living being with which one is living together in constant interchange, as with a lover. The intensive personal creative pleasure of the designer must directly transferred to the product and its public, that is the real difficulty."

Everyday things are only useful as Christmas presents if they reach another dimension other than pure fulfilment of functionality. Like a Leica à la Carte, the limited Christmas edition Silver chair is precision and passion defined.

The problem of "perfect sitting" for Hadi Teherani was merely the starting point on the road of a much longer journey. Without in-depth analysis, design ages very rapidly. Charles and Ray Eames were others who didn’t want to merely command respect from the user with their furniture, but gain affection. That is the decisive difference.

With its numerous internationally renowned awards, Silver is on the way to becoming a modern classic. An investment in the future, and in particular in the joy of living.

About Hadi Teherani

Hadi Teherani, came to Hamburg from Teheran at the age of 6, in order to discover 'his own way' in an unbiased fashion.

His particular pleasure is to be near water, music, old English classic cars, his labrador dog 'Moritz', his Koi carp 'Le Corbusier', 'Mies van der Rohe' and 'Giorgio Armani'. And last but not least - interesting people.
