The works were produced by Iranian craftsmen from Isafahan, Iran’s major center for traditional crafts since the Safavid period (sixteenth - eighteenth century), using traditional hand-embossing techniques on Rimowa suitcases, a luxury craft product and an essential accessory for the jet set. They testify to the artist’s growing interest in the artistic culture of the Middle East and the central role played by decorative motifs, far removed from their “ornamental” role in Western culture.
