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.
A tight study of the Azadi Tower from directly underneath, cropped so hard that the monument disappears and only the geometry is left. White marble sweeps up the frame in fluted ribs, and between them the karbandi vault opens as a pointed net of turquoise cells, each one filled with fine tilework. Everything sits against flat black.
- The karbandi vault seen head on, its ribs converging to a point
- Turquoise mosaic panels between every rib, patterned in blue and white
- Fluted marble faces with thin blue seams running their full height
- A cool palette of white, ice blue and turquoise on black
- No sky, no ground, no horizon — pure structure
Karbandi is an old Iranian way of building a vault: intersecting ribs laid out by compass work, dividing the surface into a net of cells that both carries the load and decorates it. It belongs to mosque domes and bazaar crossings. Amanat put one under a 1971 monument clad in white Joushaqan marble, in turquoise, so the single place a visitor is most likely to stop and look up is also the oldest thing in the building.
