"Qajar Mirror"- Wallpaper Design for a Fashion Store (Classic)
This wallpaper design is rooted in a deep visual and cultural dialogue with the aesthetics of Qajar-era Persian art. Drawing from the ornamental richness of Qajar paintings—especially their symmetrical compositions, stylized florals, and narrative figurations—the design seeks to reinterpret historical visual codes in a contemporary retail context.
The central concept of the pattern is mirroring, a compositional method frequently used in Qajar decorative arts to evoke both order and opulence. Each motif—from stylized blossoms to figural fragments—is mirrored and carefully nested within a repeating grid, creating a sense of rhythm and visual harmony reminiscent of architectural tilework and courtly manuscripts.
The color palette is directly inspired by hues prominent in Qajar art, such as deep burgundy, mustard yellow, earthy greens, and dusty blues—colors often associated with textiles, miniature paintings, and royal attire of that period. These tones not only evoke the historic character of the source material but also lend the design a warm, immersive quality suitable for an upscale fashion environment.
This piece is a homage to the ornamental intelligence of Persian heritage, filtered through a personal lens of admiration and reinterpretation. It invites the viewer into a space where history and fashion coexist—both looking in the mirror of time.
