Meet the Maker

Shirin, co-founder and creative director of Artisème, has a lifelong obsession with marble — not just because it’s timeless and elegant, but because the capital of her home country is literally covered in it (yes, really). Often referred to as the White Marble City, it left a lasting impression. Her latest creation, a marble incense holder, blends sculptural form with sensory ritual, designed for those who want their quiet moments to come with a side of style. With her signature mix of intention and material storytelling, Shirin turns everyday pauses into tiny, beautiful ceremonies.
