Sahar Bakhtiari Rad's Sialk wood flooring, inspired by ancient Iranian civilization, has been honored with the Silver A' Design Award 2025 for its eco-friendly, modular design that offers four unique patterns from a single shape, combining cultural heritage, manufacturing efficiency, and environmental responsibility.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sialk, the latest creation by Sahar Bakhtiari Rad, reimagines wood flooring by drawing inspiration from the ancient Sialk civilization in Iran, renowned for its millennia-old pottery adorned with geometric, plant, and animal motifs. This innovative flooring system stands out for its ability to generate four distinct patterns from a single modular shape, allowing homeowners and designers to personalize interior spaces with cultural resonance and visual dynamism. The design's flexibility not only celebrates heritage but also introduces a new level of creativity to modern living environments.
What distinguishes Sialk is its intelligent approach to both design and production. By engineering one primary form that can be separated into two additional shapes, the system supports four unique installation patterns, maximizing versatility while minimizing material waste. The design process carefully considered the dimensions of standard plywood sheets, ensuring efficient use of resources and reducing offcuts. This modularity also streamlines manufacturing and packaging, making Sialk an economically and environmentally sound choice for contemporary interiors.
Environmental stewardship is at the heart of Sialk. The flooring is produced using advanced engineered wood technology and assembled with D4 glue, avoiding the use of harmful urea formaldehyde. CNC machining enables the precise creation of intricate curves and angles, further enhancing the product's aesthetic and functional appeal. The result is a waterproof, eco-friendly flooring solution that adapts to underfloor heating systems and offers lasting durability. Research, field interviews, and technical expertise have culminated in a product that addresses the practical and aesthetic needs of today's consumers while honoring the artistry of ancient civilizations.
