  • Empire State Building (New York, USA): A classic 20 cm iron piece represents the Art Deco masterpiece that dominated the New York skyline for nearly 40 years.

🕌 Spiritual Sanctuaries

A unique and reverent section of the Ishabil Nest collection is dedicated to the world's great religious sites, sourced from local travels and specialized artisans.

What makes the Ishabil Nest collection special is not just what is collected, but how it was gathered.

  • Diverse Materials: The collection features a tactile variety of materials including Bronze (Eiffel Tower), Iron (Petronas Towers), Glass (Taj Mahal), and Wood (Cairo Tower).

  • Global Sourcing: While many pieces were hunted down via platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, and AliExpress, several hold the sentimental value of being "Local Purchases."
