Timeline

6 month

Majnoon is an intimate cocktail bar inspired by the 12th-century Persian epic Layli o Majnoon—a tale of sacred love, longing, and madness. Designed as a neighborhood sanctuary, Majnoon invites guests into a multisensory experience where storytelling unfolds through design, light, and taste.

As Founder and Creative Lead, I guided the project from vision to execution: securing the site, managing permits, and leading the design-build process. In my role as Curator, I collaborated with local and international artists to weave visual narratives into the space—through a large-scale mural, custom lighting, and handmade elements that reflect the emotional arc of the story.

The palette echoes the myth: warm concrete tones, rich velvet textures, and a glowing mural at the heart of the bar. Every detail—from the spatial layout to the finishes—was chosen to evoke intimacy, depth, and discovery.

Community & Vision

Opening Fall 2025, Majnoon is more than a bar — it's a stage for connection and culture. Rooted in global influences but deeply local in its spirit, the space is designed to evolve with its community. Every detail invites presence, celebration, and grounded beauty.
