Asghari Hildell is a London-based design partnership of Swedish-born Tom Hildell and Anglo-Iranian Omid Asghari. United by a fascination with, and deep knowledge of the possibilities of manufacturing processes applied to furniture Asghari Hildell represent a multi-national mix of influences and tastes.
