Designer Shima Samaei began her career in furniture design before expanding Chapter Studio into the realms of interior design and architecture. Her practice weaves together diverse aesthetic lineages, uniting the functional clarity of the Bauhaus movement with the intricate artistry of the Middle East and North Africa.
Samaei's Golestan Console merges minimalist, contemporary lines with a poetic homage to Iran's Golestan Palace, while her Persepolis Table distills the monumental spirit of ancient Persian columns into a refined architectural form. In her work, cultural memory and modern restraint converge, each piece a chapter in a larger narrative.
The very name Chapter Studio reflects her belief that design is a form of storytelling, an unfolding dialogue between heritage, material, and modern life.
