Upon returning from Isfahan Klara came up with the idea of decorating her restaurant with artistic artefacts from Isfahan, a city she had fallen in love with. Despite the fact that pizzas have nothing to do with Iranian food, the intention was clearly to have the restaurant disclose some photos and artisitc pieces from Isfahan and eventually change people's negative opinion om Iran.
Klara, Lena, our Finnish friend, and I got together one evening and decorated the tables with part of my photo collection (one Museum or interesting area per table),with those we didn't find space for on the tables stuck directly on the walls. Many of my personal minakari copper decorated plates and the ones incrusted in lapis lazuli stones were put on show cases along the restaurant walls. We decided to hang some printed and embroidered towels on the walls as well and must confess were happy with the final result.
Some of Klara's guest friends took pictures near some of the artefacts, which made Klara particularly happy. I took the opportunity to have some of them go on a Isfahan "tour" using some of the photos and was especially satisfied and honoured to have played my part in regards to Iran and the way people should look at it.
