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.
The Azadi Tower drawn head on and from below, flat and symmetrical, so the ribbed legs sweep up out of the bottom corners and the great arch opens on the sky. Through the opening you see the Tehran skyline, and above it the sun or the moon depending on the version. TEHRAN sits across the top, and تهران - برج آزادی runs along the base with the tower's coordinates beneath it.
- The tower squared to the frame, its marble legs ribbed in fine parallel line
- The vault net drawn as a lattice of crossing ribs inside the arch
- Tehran's skyline visible through the opening, low and distant
- Banked flat-shape clouds either side of the tower
- 35°41'58"N 51°20'16"E set below the Persian title
The arch is two arches. The lower opening follows the broken curve of a Sassanid vault, the kind that spans the hall at Ctesiphon; the pointed arch above it is Islamic; and the ribbed net between them is worked out from muqarnas geometry. Hossein Amanat put the three together in his 1966 competition entry and the tower was finished in 1971.
Two colorways
- Day (Blue and Cream) — pale sky, white cloud and a low sun in the arch
- Night (Indigo and Silver) — deep blue sky, stars, a full moon and lit windows below
Perfect for
