Khayyam Lounge Chair: A Modern Tribute to Tradition

Fater Saadat Niaki's Khayyam Lounge Chair is a modern reinterpretation of the ancient art of carpet weaving, inspired by the architectural marvels of Hooshang Seyhoun. The chair's design draws from the intricate structures of the mausoleum of Omar Khayyam, incorporating the poet's quartains as the source of inspiration. The chair's unique structure replicates quadratic arches, creating a tent-like seating surface using traditional carpet weaving techniques.

What sets the Khayyam Lounge Chair apart is its utilization of recycled hand-woven rugs, combining the strength and weight-bearing properties of carpets with a contemporary design. The chair's frame, crafted from Baltic birch plywood, features digital joinery techniques, allowing for a glue-free, flat-pack design that is both functional and easily assembled.

With a focus on reviving the fading art of carpet weaving, the Khayyam Lounge Chair aims to reintroduce the utilitarian functionality of carpets, making them more than just decorative items. By rediscovering the weight-bearing properties of carpets, this design breathes new life into an ancient craft, offering a modern perspective on traditional techniques.

Fater Saadat Niaki's Khayyam Lounge Chair is a testament to the designer's commitment to preserving cultural heritage through innovative design, providing a bridge between tradition and modernity.
