Introduction: Why the Behind-the-Scenes of TTL Matters
In the world of luxury projects—five-star hotels, exceptional villas, premium restaurants, and organizations that value meaningful corporate gifts—design is not merely a beautiful output. Our real clients are those who seek understanding, philosophy, interaction, and maturity within the project. They do not want designers who deliver a one-time design and disappear; they want a team that:
- Sees and understands
- Questions and studies
- Remains committed to execution and quality
- Stands firm through complexity and continues the journey
TTL is built precisely for this group of clients.
We are a design studio with experience across several continents—South America (Buenos Aires, Argentina), Germany (Berlin), England (London), Turkey (Istanbul), Iraq, and the UAE—specialized in interior architecture, spatial accessories, and culturally-oriented corporate gifts. But what sets us apart is not only what we deliver; it is the method, mindset, and spirit behind each project.
We do not see design as a final product. We see it as a multi-stage dialogue that matures over time.
TTL’s behind-the-scenes is exactly where this maturity takes shape.
TTL’s Value Proposition: Every Project Has a Unique Identity and Story
For us, every project carries a unique story;
every product has an independent identity;
and every space is a living entity that must be understood, interpreted, and crafted.
This is why TTL’s design approach is always sustainable and resilient.
Instead of relying on heavy advertising budgets, we rely on cultural insight, audience understanding, and precise design—to help every brand build its own “unique and non-replicable” version of itself.
This creates true differentiation, reduces advertising costs, and nurtures long-term brand growth.
Section 1: The Three Main Lines of TTL and the Three Shared Stages in Every Project
TTL operates in three primary lines:
1) Interior Architecture and Spatial Design
Hotels, restaurants, private villas, and experience-based spaces.
2) Design of Space-Specific Accessories
Accessories customized for each project.
3) Culturally-Oriented Corporate Gifts
Gifts designed based on brand identity, culture, local communities, and craftsmanship.
Although these three lines differ in nature, TTL’s methodology in each is built on three constant stages:
1. Design
Design at TTL is not “station-based”; it is a continuous thread.
2. Production
We are not only designers; we have the ability to produce—accessories, corporate gifts, and even elements of interior architecture.
3. Supervision & Quality Control
We accompany the project until the final screw, the final stitch, the final joint, and the final moment of installation.
These three stages are executed across all our service lines, giving TTL its true end-to-end identity.
Section 2: The Architecture of TTL’s Method — Mature, Interactive, Research-Based Design
1) Research-Based, Not Taste-Based Design
Before any design begins, we conduct extensive study—not just visual exploration, but:
- Client interviews
- Field presence
- Brandbook analysis
- Cultural and behavioral user studies
- Economic and business document analysis
- Market data review
Because for us, design is not an aesthetic choice; it is a strategic response to the real needs of the project.
2) Interactive, Not One-Time Design
Design at TTL is never locked.
Every design is “matured”—growing alongside execution and deepening understanding of the project’s realities.
Whether the project is in Nasiriyah (Iraq), Dubai, or northern Iran, we refine and evolve the design based on materials, context, limitations, and people.
3) Multi-Angled Design — Feminine and Masculine Perspectives Together
TTL is a family company, combining two worlds:
- The feminine lens: emotion, detail, psychology, texture, softness, experience
- The masculine lens: structure, logic, system, management, analysis
The coexistence of these perspectives ensures our projects are neither purely aesthetic nor purely structural—but balanced, mature, and deeply layered.
4) We Are Not Just Designers; We Are Storytellers
Every project has a story:
the story of the brand, place, culture, and people involved.
TTL observes, extracts, and redefines this story.
Sometimes the story is told through a space.
Sometimes through an accessory.
Sometimes through a corporate gift.
And sometimes through a short film documenting the entire process.
Section 3: Production and Documentation — TTL’s Major Differentiator
One of the key differences of TTL is that we do not only design;
we act, build, execute, and document.
1) Production Capability Across Three Lines
Before any design begins, we conduct extensive study—not just visual exploration, but:
- Client interviews
- Field presence
- Brandbook analysis
- Cultural and behavioral user studies
- Economic and business document analysis
- Market data review
Because for us, design is not an aesthetic choice; it is a strategic response to the real needs of the project.
2) Interactive, Not One-Time Design
QC is not an end-stage activity.
It begins with the first sketch and continues until final delivery.
3) Storytelling and Content Creation
Content is an asset—and we know it.
TTL produces:
- Professional videos
- Visual documentation
- Brand storytelling
- Process narratives
- Content for social media and PR
Three notable examples:
- UNESCO project video
- Wooden Art project video
- Accessory documentary for Sumerion Hotel (Iraq)
These are not just outputs—they are tools of credibility, branding, and message delivery.
Section 4: TTL’s Connection with Cultural Heritage and UNESCO
TTL is an official vendor of UNESCO and holds an active vendor number.
This recognition comes from years of:
- Field research
- Collaboration with local communities
- Hands-on experience in cultural projects
- Creation of artisanal products
- Designing cultural corporate gifts
- Deep knowledge of tangible and intangible heritage
- Designing cultural spaces
These activities have taken place not only in Iran but across several countries.
TTL’s collaborations with UNESCO and other major cultural institutions strengthen our expertise in cultural studies, user studies, and culture-driven design.
Section 5: The Real Behind-the-Scenes — From Travel to Execution
TTL’s behind-the-scenes is filled with moments rarely visible in the final photos, yet they define the identity of every project:
- Traveling to cities and villages
- Meeting local artisans
- Material selection
- Prototyping
- Technical testing
- Joint meetings with clients
- Revisiting design after deeper understanding
- Adapting to real-world constraints
- Moment-to-moment supervision in workshops
- Discussions with carpet, textile, lighting, and print designers
The process is complex.
But the result is always the same:
a project that has reached true maturity.
Section 6: Two Significant Case Studies
1) Collaboration with UNESCO — A Culture-Based Corporate Gift Across Five Provinces
As UNESCO’s official vendor in Iran, TTL designed and produced the corporate gift for the “Modernization of Traditional and Professional Arts” project.
Key elements:
- Participation of more than 300 women artisans
- Production across five provinces
- Custom tablet bags designed specifically for the project
- Full storytelling and documentary video
- Entirely identity-based, culture-driven, and rooted in traditional Iranian crafts
Result:
- Official acknowledgment from UNESCO as a cultural ambassador product
- Publication of TTL’s documentary video on UNESCO’s website and global YouTube channel
2) The Wooden Art Project — A Heritage-Inspired Nowruz Corporate Gift
Highlights:
- Participation of more than 270 women artisans
- Collaboration across four provinces
- Production of gift sets for loyal customers
- Visual storytelling
- Fully designed based on ancient Nowruz themes
- Attention to culture, color, symbolism, and meaning
Result:
- A gift that was not just a product, but a cultural value
- Expansion into culturally-inspired furniture production
- Due to high appreciation from recipients, Wooden Art reordered an additional 150 gift sets
Conclusion: Why TTL Is the Right Choice for Luxury, Identity-Centered, and Complex Projects
TTL is not a typical design studio.
TTL is a combination of:
- International architectural experience
- Feminine and masculine perspectives
- Designers who study
- A team that understands production
- Supervision that never lets go
- And most importantly: the ability to create narrative for every project
We work with clients who value:
- Quality
- Identity
- Culture
- Social participation
- Maturity
- And who seek not a fast output, but a matured project
If you are looking for a design team that:
- Understands you
- Knows your audience
- Narrates your story
- Stays with the project until the final moment
- And creates an experience—not just a product—
TTL is ready to collaborate.
