The Pomegranate

The Pomegranate

A single pomegranate holds centuries of history—its deep red skin, its countless seeds, its place in Armenian culture. This project transforms pomegranate skin into material, exploring its potential through tradition. Through design and experimentation, it takes on a new form, carrying heritage forward in unexpected ways.

This project challenges the idea that cultural symbols must remain static. By transforming pomegranate skin into material, it extends the life of tradition beyond representation, turning remnants into resources. This is not just about preservation—it is about innovation, sustainability, and the ongoing reimagining of heritage through design.
