  • Iran
  • My current job since September 2012

Ravagh Group was established in 2013 with an initial focus on interior design and interior architecture. As time passed by because of limitation in Iran’s furniture market we were gradually forced to design and custom-make furniture based on the projects needs and the client’s lifestyle. Ravagh Group now has a complete portfolio of Home and Office furniture, Kitchens and Wardrobes. Since 2013 we have undertaken over 100 projects ranging from hotels, villas, apartments, offices, lobbies to an entire re-construction of a 100 year old home in Kashan.

Following to our success in this market and the great positioning of the company we wanted to expand into new horizons, we signed a long-term contract with the almighty Molteni Group for their exclusive representation of their company in Iran. We are currently offering all Molteni Group companies, including Molteni&C (Home furniture and wardrobes), Dada (Kitchens), ArmaniDada (Super Luxury Kitchens). Other brands we currently represent in our market are Flos, Roda, Gufram, Vitra and Artek.
