A Life Shaped by LightLight is not decoration—it’s revelation

Bahadori believes light can transform ordinary space into emotional experience. To him, lighting design isn’t just technical—it’s spiritual. His approach is rooted in curiosity, wonder, and a search for meaning. He draws inspiration from cosmic forms, natural geometry, and the silence of nature.

Failures, in his eyes, are necessary teachers. Success is not in ambition, but discovery. He often says, “Fear limits more than reality ever could.”

His guiding principle: design is not invented—it’s discovered.
