Short description

Tentra is an independent design studio of seven working out of a converted print shop in central Tehran. Founded in 2017 by Soraya Mehrabi and Kamiar Esfahani, the studio builds brand systems, editorial work, type, and digital products that draw a line between the visual heritage of Iran and the demands of contemporary practice. Tentra takes on a deliberately short list of clients each year — usually around nine — so the people doing the work are the people who pitched it.

Logos & marks

The Tentra wordmark and logo are available for editorial and award use. Please don't recolour, redraw, or animate them without asking.
