Opened in 1971 alongside Samgori station, Isani features one of the most prominent architectures with its overground vestibule among Tbilisi metro stations. The upper vestibule features a glass building with an original dome, a prime example of 60s and 70s modernist architecture. The architects of the station were G. Modzmanashvili and N. Lomsadze. The author of the toned panel on the wall of the vestibule is the sculptor S. Koiava.[2]
The station was renovated in 2006, introducing more blue-shaded glass windows instead of fully transparent ones on the upper vestibule, and somewhat altering its original design and feel.[2] The platform columns of the station are decorated with white marble, and since 2006 the station features blue and white color elements.[1]
Isani metro station is located at the end of Saint Queen Ketevan Martyr Avenue and roughly at the intersection and start of Kakheti Highway. The area surrounding the Isani metro station acts as a transport hub accessing eastern and south-eastern districts and neighbourhoods of Tbilisi, as well as bus routes to Rustavi.
