Mohammad Ali Honardoust (born 1993) is an Iranian designer with a B.A. in Architecture and an M.A. in Interior Architecture from the University of Tehran. His professional journey—spanning more than a decade—covers architecture, interior design, and, most prominently, the field of furniture and object design, which has become the central focus of his creative practice.
He entered the professional world in 2013, designing independently and collaborating with several studios, while also co-founding memarima.ir, one of the early online architecture platforms in Iran. In 2017–2018, he co-founded Hashti Design & Production Company, developing and marketing furniture products and gaining practical experience in the full cycle of design, production, and brand development.
His academic experience includes teaching Design Studios and Furniture Design courses at the University of Tehran and Pars University, with a focus on conceptual thinking, form development, and object-based design.
Over the past years, he has also been the instructor of multiple specialized Furniture Design Courses, helping new designers understand the analytical, conceptual, and practical foundations of designing contemporary furniture.
Among his notable works, the CO-BOY Bench—designed in collaboration with Mostafa Arvand—was selected in the SeatPrize competition and won First Place in the Innovation Center Competition of the University of Tehran.
Throughout his career, he has collaborated with several influential Iranian furniture brands in the fields of design, product development, and production, including Foom Mobl Honar, Balinko, Araaks, Avaat, and other manufacturers seeking distinctive and well-crafted design solutions.
In 2020, he founded HY Studio as an independent design practice—not as a partnership, but as a personal studio shaped entirely by his own creative direction. HY Studio operates as a specialized furniture design studio, functioning as both a professional workspace and a small experimental lab dedicated to the exploration of objects, materials, forms, and meaningful design processes. Today, the studio focuses on creating contemporary furniture pieces that combine conceptual clarity, aesthetic sensitivity, and human-centered design.
