A graphic artist as well as a fashion and furniture designer, Zaino Mizani has devoted his time among product design and mixed media. Mizani’s artistic vision has led him to self exploration in all of these disciplines. Born in Tehran, Iran in 1962, Mizani grew up in the rich culture of his home constantly inspired by the architecture and intricate design of ancient Persia. Mixing his sense of the old with the modern day influences of such honored artists such as Gianni Versace, Christian Lacroix, Le Corusier, Jean Puiforcat and Salvador Dali; Mizani infused his graphic skills and all aspects of his background and talents into creating unique works of art.
