Milad Tower in Winter
Materials
Fine Art Prints
Premium archival matte fine art paper, 200–230 gsm. Smooth, bright white surface with an instant-dry coating that resists fingerprints and smudging. Printed with archival inks for accurate color and high-contrast reproduction. FSC-certified sustainable paper.
Framed Prints
Solid wood frame, roughly 0.875″ wide, available in light, black, or white. Protected by shatterproof optical-grade acrylic — lighter and safer than glass, and it ships without risk of breakage. Dry-mounted to foam core with a kraft paper dust cover and hanging wire installed, ready to hang out of the box.
Production
Every piece is made to order. Nothing sits in a warehouse — your print is produced after you order it, at the facility closest to your address. That means it reaches you faster, travels less distance, and arrives with a smaller carbon footprint than something shipped from a single central location.
Milad Tower stacked against a wall of snow, with nothing else in the frame but hard blue sky. The concrete shaft runs straight up the centre, the pod flares out in a diagrid of glass and steel, and the spire carries on past the top of the mountains. The Alborz fills the entire lower two-thirds — bare rock, deep drifts and blue shadow.
- The tower head in detail: diagonal glazing, tiered observation decks and the dark dome above them
- A slim needle spire rising well clear of the ridgeline
- The octagonal concrete shaft with its narrow window strips
- Snow-covered Alborz ridges filling the background from edge to edge
- A cold palette of white, grey, steel and saturated blue
The tower stands 435 metres to the tip and was finished in 2007, to a design by Mohammad Reza Hafezi begun more than a decade earlier. Its shaft is octagonal, a plan drawn from Persian building geometry. The mountains behind it are the Tochal massif, which rises to nearly 4,000 metres directly north of the city — Tehran is built against them, and on a clear winter day they close off the whole northern horizon like this.
