HADI, the new family of luminaires, made to set a new benchmark in office lighting, performing at the highest technical level, and breaking conventions in terms of design. A unique interaction of design and technology, developed in co-operation with Prolicht, an Austrian manufacturer of premium lighting concepts. Hadi Teherani wanted to connect his new creation to one of his passions – the James Bond universe. Iconic products of his, such as the Silver Chair, have already been protagonists in the famous movies.
 This connection is also reflected in the names chosen for the two different shapes of the HADI: the M, inspired by the code name of James Bond’s superior officer, and the Q, named after the genius responsible for all of James Bond’s incredible gadgets.

At the presentations for the German Design Award 2020, Hadi Teherani Design received not one but two prizes. The award-winners were the new door handle Series 270 for HEWI and GRID, a capsule collection for Harbour Brillen, an eyeglass manufacturer. We are very proud!

During the creative atmosphere that prevailed last weekend, Series 270 and GRID were exhibited in the category “Excellent Product Design” on the grounds of the Messe Frankfurt trade event centre. The German Design Award discovers and presents unique trends in design: a competition that fosters and advances design-oriented commerce.

Building construction of the new quarter in the immediate vicinity of the European Central Bank is commencing with the groundbreaking ceremony for the second construction phase of “Hafenpark Quartier Frankfurt” on the 29th of January, 2020. The structural ensemble was designed by Hadi Teherani, the internationally renowned architect based in Hamburg, Germany, and is being enacted by the B&L Group, equally based in Hamburg and in charge of the entire development of this riverport park district.

Only a few metres away from the banks of the Main and directly adjoining the park itself, a 505-room conference hotel in the upscale business segment is being erected for the Scandinavian market leader Scandic along with 288 condominiums displaying fantastic views of the Main and the Frankfurt skyline. At the centre of the draft, which emerged as the winner of a closed, by-invitation-only competition, are two striking residential highrises standing in the quarter’s first row.

“I’m very glad that realisation of the ‘Hafenpark Quartier’ is now making distinctly visible progress,” says Mike Josef, chief planning officer for the City of Frankfurt am Main. “Everything a vibrant quarter needs is arising here at an outstanding location: a well-tuned mixture of apartments, hotels, offices, shops, gastronomic facilities and a daycare centre.”   

Thorsten Testorp, managing partner at the B&L Group, explains: “As builder we are absolutely thrilled by the architectural draft. With his vision of an exclusive, urban way of life, Hadi Teherani is creating a landmark that is going to form a sense of identity for its residents and the whole ‘Hafenpark Quartier’.”   

“With our hotel we view ourselves as a part of this riverport park district. That’s why we want to create a warm and inviting atmosphere exhibiting a pleasant residential feel. Scandic stands for sustainability, freedom from barriers and a sense of inclusion. Inspired by local influences and in combination with Scandinavian design, these values are going to be equally expressed here at the ‘Hafenpark’,” according to Michael Schutzbach, managing director at Scandic Hotels.

The Chicago Athenaeum, Museum of Architecture and Design, and the European Centre for Architecture, Art Design and Urban Sciences have now awarded the prestigious GOOD DESIGN Award 2019 to the "Open Frameworks Design Edition", which Hadi Teherani developed together with Parador.

With the Open Frameworks Design Edition by Hadi Teherani last year, Parador presented a unique engineered wood flooring and laminate collection that redefines design on the floor in an innovative way. The Design Edition combines different shapes and colours to create a completely new approach to floor design, whose design limits reach into infinity: The plank elements of the engineered wood flooring and laminate range can be combined in a wide variety of ways and create space for almost unlimited design possibilities. The "Open Frameworks Design Edition by Hadi Teherani" has now been awarded the prestigious and internationally renowned GOOD DESIGN Award 2019 for this innovative design and technical approach.

For their innovative design approach, the Open Frameworks Design Edition by Hadi Teherani have already received several awards, including the red dot Award for Product Design, the German Design Award 2019, the European Product Design Award 2019 and the Iconic Award: Innovative Architecture 2019.
