Located in Los Angeles’ downtown, the gallery was created to celebrate Iranian contemporary art. “I am honored to be the first designer chosen to collaborate with ADVOCARTSY,” says Saghian. “As an Iranian American, Iranian Contemporary art speaks to me on a personal level, and also reveals the essence of human condition which play a major role in everyone’s life.” Roshi Rahnama, the gallery’s founder is enthusastic with the result, “In this collaboration we have selected a wide range works by Iranian contemporary artists. The work appeals to the sophisticated design world with a universal connection,” she says. “All the work chosen are of museum quality and reflect the style and sophistication that Ryan Saghian brings to all his projects.”
