Sina Sohrab (b. 1990, Tehran)
The multidisciplinary nature of the practice allows for a nuanced, rigorous, and thoughtful approach; concerned with cultural and behavioral narratives, the fingerprints that are left through time and adaptation, as a means to define future ways of living. Works are realized through both independent initiatives and collaborations with leading companies and institutions. Recent projects include the Living Room sofa for Kvadrat, an exhibition in the form of a market for the Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas in Madrid, and surveys of the sociopolitical histories behind the cable tie, flatpack furniture, and plastic welding techniques for the publication U-JOINTS – A Taxonomy of Connections, edited by Anniina Koivu and Andrea Caputo.
Sohrab’s work has been internationally recognized and exhibited, most recently at Kvadrat’s headquarters in Ebeltoft, Denmark and the Noguchi Museum in New York City. He has been the recipient of several design awards, including a Red Dot 'Best of the Best' designation and a Wallpaper* Design Award. In 2024, he was one of 100 designers selected by Phaidon for Designed for Life: The World’s Best Product Designers.
