OROSI — Inspired by the Mollabashi House

The Architecture Behind the Design

OROSI draws inspiration from the Mollabashi House in Isfahan, a historic residence known for its interplay of light, colour, glass, mirror work and architectural ornament. For AFROZAN, the house represents an extraordinary relationship between light and surface. Its orsi windows transform natural light into colour and movement, creating an atmosphere that changes throughout the day. OROSI translates this experience into a contemporary silk design, exploring how light, colour, geometry and ornament can become a wearable expression.

A House Shaped by Layers of History

The Mollabashi House, also known as the Motamedi House, is a historic residence in Isfahan whose architecture and decorative details reflect layers of different periods and influences.

The house became associated with Haj Mirza Ahmad Mollabashi, a religious scholar and astronomer during the Qajar period. Over time, its interiors developed a distinctive visual richness, bringing together stained glass, mirrored surfaces, plasterwork, paintings and intricate architectural details.

Rather than belonging to a single moment in history, the house carries traces of different architectural and decorative traditions. This layering is part of what makes the Mollabashi House particularly fascinating: history is experienced not as something static, but as something accumulated through space, material and ornament.

This idea of layers became an important starting point for OROSI.
