Taher Asad-Bakhtiari (b. 1982, Tehran) works primarily as an artist, but his

explorative taste has taken him to experiment in the fields of design and architecture

as well. After studying multimedia and management in Canada and Switzerland,

Taher opened a creative agency in Tehran, later expanding it to New York City. Along

his career in product and interior design, he has worked on several artistic projects

including "Recovered Barrels", a metaphorical conceptualization of oil barrels, and

his contemporary take on the Iranian Kilim, "Tribal Weaves". Taher lives in Tehran

and Dubai.
