Mohammad Rafi is not just a shopkeeper; he's a local icon in Tehran for his unique pencil store, Medad Rafi, which he opened in 1990. The shop has become legendary among locals and artists alike, not just for its vast and colorful collection but also for Mohammad's personal touch.
Inside Medad Rafi, the walls and shelves are lined with thousands of pencils. Many of these are not your average store pencils; they are rare, vintage treasures that have become collector's items. The inventory is so extensive and eclectic that it would be chaos to anyone else, but not to Mohammad.
What makes Mohammad's shop truly special is his memory for where each pencil resides. Over the decades, he has developed an almost supernatural ability to find exactly what a customer is looking for, no matter how obscure. This skill has made his shop not only a place for purchasing pencils but a destination for an experience, a personal interaction that has kept artists coming back.
Today, Medad Rafi remains a beloved nook in Tehran, a haven for those who appreciate the finer points of art supplies. It's more than a store; it's a testament to Mohammad's dedication to his craft and his customers, providing them with not just pencils, but stories and a slice of local history.
