Ilai Sarai, Hudhud Candleabra

“Scent, sound, and texture have the power to transport us home—even when "home" is many places at once.”
 
Founded by Saina Babaee, Ilái Sarái is a Persianate luxury lifestyle brand dedicated to bringing art, culture, and elegance into every space. Rooted in centuries of craftsmanship and storytelling, the brand serves as a bridge between Persian and Turkic heritage and contemporary design. From ceramics as a canvas for storytelling to fashion and homewares, each piece reimagines tradition for the modern world. 
 
At its core, Ilái Sará is a contemporary Persianate design house that revives forgotten artistry and empowers a new generation of creators, particularly women. Through her work, Saina reclaims the spirit of the female warrior, bringing back the soul of artisans whose work once graced royal courts and family tables.

Inspired by the Sufi poet Attar's seminal work, "The Conference of the Birds." the HudHud candelabras is a contemporary homage to the spiritual quest of the Hoopoe as it leads it's feathered friends on the journey to find the legendary Simorgh behind the Qaaf Mountains. These exquisite candelabras symbolise the pursuit of enlightenment and the transformative power of the journey itself.
