about

 

Zohra Rahman is an artist and designer whose work is informed by public art, urban landscapes, and ever-shifting socio-political contexts. Drawing from both South Asian heritage and contemporary global influences, she deconstructs popular notions of tradition and identity through her designs.

Her pieces are handcrafted at a small atelier in Lahore, where Rahman cultivates and trains jewellers through apprenticeships. Rooted in traditional craftsmanship and artisanal techniques, her work pays close attention to detail and engages in an ongoing dialogue with the layered nature of heritage.

 

Rahman studied jewellery design at Central Saint Martins in London before launching her eponymous label in Lahore in 2014. Now based between New York and Lahore, her evolving practice is shaped by the cultural dualities and aesthetic tensions between South Asia and the West. Widely credited as a pioneer of contemporary luxury jewellery in Pakistan, her work has been featured in publications including Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Wallpaper Magazine.
