Bonfires 3, Glitch Gabbehs Collection, SoFarSoNear Studio Milan for Zollanvari , 2022
Zollanvari Fine Gabbeh

This design combines two motifs from Persian tribal iconography: that of rhombus (made of two triangles – the symbol of a woman in tribal weavings of the Zagros Mountains of Iran) and the boteh (according to some scholars a convergence of a stylised floral spray and a cypress tree: a Zoroastrian symbol of life and eternity, and according to others, representing a mother with child). Here, the designers have distorted the motifs to create the glitch effect, adding a flame-like sense of movement, which adds yet another Zoroastrian reference… the bonfires of the Persian Festival of Fire (Chaharshanbe Suri) held on the last Wednesday of the Iranian year and marking the arrival of spring. Fire and light… the hope for health and happiness for the coming year.
