INSELBERG

This collection was created through a partnership between Saraab Design and Ghazaal Design. Designed and manufactured in Tehran, Iran, each piece draws inspiration from nature. The stones are sourced from mines in the mountains encircling Tehran. They are mounted on a base that serves as a light source, producing reflections on the stone's surface and illuminating the area with the distinct light and shadow resulting from their interplay.

Mount Damavand, Stratovolcano in Iran


In response to the overwhelming dominance of industrial and machine life in today's world, this collection aimed at reconnecting humanity with nature.

Gathering stones from close to the magnetite mounds, the collection is distinguished by a natural shine on the stones, enhancing light reflection. Drawing inspiration from the raw beauty of these natural elements, they created a line of lighting products that not only brings light to the room but also bridges the gap between the modern industrial lifestyle and our innate connection to the environment. The designs encourage a renewed appreciation for nature in our daily lives.

Ripple

a lighting design inspired by the natural patterns of ripples in water. Crafted from mirror and glass, it reflects and refracts the warm, flickering glow of a candle. By order, it can also be crafted with a lamp source, creating dynamic, fluid interactions that mimic the serenity and movement of nature.

Lunar eclips

A wall lamp inspired by the captivating phenomenon of a lunar eclipse. Made from stone and glass, its naturally textured surface, with holes and irregularities, mimics the moon’s appearance. The dimmable LED light source represents the various phases of the eclipse, offering a serene and atmospheric glow that brings the beauty of celestial events into your space.
