Alam-Kooh

Alam Kooh stands like a silent sovereign at the heart of the Alborz, its granite shoulders rising to 4,850 m as the second-highest peak in Iran, a beacon of raw beauty and alpine might. From its legendary north face, a towering granite wall that has long beckoned climbers with its dramatic vertical challenge, to the sweeping ridges and glaciers that have tested generations of mountaineers, Alam Kooh is nature’s great monument to perseverance and daring.

Carved in rich walnut wood, this 3D relief captures the mountain’s cragged profile and commanding presence — a testament to the sculptural poetry of rock, ice, and sky. More than a landscape in wood, this piece is an ode to the mystical allure of the Takht-e Soleyman massif — a sculpture that evokes the breath of windswept heights, the whisper of snowfields, and the timeless draw of peaks that call the bold to ascend. An exquisite engraving at the base records the mountain’s name, height, and location, anchoring this work in both geography and spirit.
