Early Life and Education

Hakakian’s loft, designed by Eran Chen of ODA New York, is divided into boxes representing earth, water, fire and air. For instance, in his “fire box,” an oval flame-red ottoman with limited edition Ingo Maurer lamp nod to this theme.

The Book of Daniel, found among the Ketuvim in the Jewish canon, tells classic tales (chapters 1-6) about an intelligent individual enduring temptation and hardship before eventually succeeding against temptation and overcoming all adversity. Additionally, Daniel addresses contemporary sociopolitical concerns such as exile and censorship.
