Background

Franco-Senegalese, with Iranian and Lebanese roots, Sarah Chirazi grew up at the crossroads of various influences. From her childhood in Dakar, in a house filled with Art Deco furniture and works by contemporary Senegalese artists, she inherited a taste for blending styles. After a detour into graphic design, where she developed a keen sense of patterns, she studied interior design and architecture at the Camondo School. She deepened her practice and knowledge of decorative arts by working for agencies for ten years, including those of India Mahdavi and Caroline Sarkozy, before founding her own studio in 2022. Both an interior architect, designer, and curator of furniture and artworks for her clients, Sarah Chirazi approaches projects holistically, paying close attention to even the smallest details, such as door handles or sculpted sofa legs.

Signature Style

An advocate of eclecticism, she moves effortlessly from a Haussmannian apartment to a clay mountain retreat in Morocco, adding her whimsical touch while ensuring respect for the spirit of the place. In her interiors, conceived as multi-act scenographies, she weaves unexpected dialogues between the 1940s and Senegalese craftsmanship, the extravagance of her personality, and the timelessness of French classicism. All this is imbued with a phantasmagoric quality, nurtured by her fertile imagination.

Showstoppers

Her first two collections, Veggie and Dakar, epitomize her universe. A true vegetable-inspired fantasy, the Veggie collection features corn ears, okra, and other Senegalese eggplants transformed into finely crafted bronze handles and theatrical plaster wall sconces, while the Dakar collection is an ode to ancestral Africa and its heritage craft — all punctuated with a touch of humor, subtly infused through the Madone wall sconce or an intriguing stool.
