In this two-part campaign for Mansha Restaurant, I served as the set designer to bridge the historical grandeur of the First Pahlavi era with its contemporary culinary life. By meticulously recreating a 'magical' night from the mansion’s past, I staged a table that speaks of history through period-accurate accessories and a lived-in 'aftermath' aesthetic, which then seamlessly evolves into the vibrant, modern energy of the restaurant today. This project was an exercise in using space as a time-traveling medium, ensuring that every prop on the corner of Neufel-le-Château tells a story of enduring Persian hospitality.
