The hand behind
Iyyah Designs
Trained in the classical scripts — Thuluth, Diwani and Naskh — and practising for over a decade, the studio turns the words that matter most to you into framed pieces worth passing down. A name. A verse. A vow between two people.
From a small studio in Dar es Salaam, each commission is drawn by hand, inked on archival cotton paper, and shipped with care to homes across the world.
