Collection: Zaha Hadid Design

Zaha Hadid Design (ZHD) specialises in product, interior, exhibition and set design. Founded in London in 2006 by the renowned Iraqi-born architect Zaha Hadid (Baghdad, 1950 - Miami, 2016), it was born as a spin-off from her prestigious architectural firm Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) to develop the work of the firm's in-house Product Design department. ZHD brings together a rich portfolio of research and design projects created in over 40 years of activity, with innovative and avant-garde solutions in the fields of interiors, fashion, jewellery design and, last but not least, furniture. The office created the Moon System Sofa for B&B Italia; the Forma grater and Crevasse vase for Alessi; the Genesy lamp for Artemide; the futuristic Z Island kitchen for Ernestomeda; the Aria lamp collection for Slamp; and the reinterpretation of Arno Jacobsen's Serie 7TM chair for Fritz Hansen. Hadid's premature death did not halt the activity of ZHD, which passes on the values and formal language of the great architect through partnerships with prestigious brands. Among these are the table accessories and objects presented in 2019, including the Pulse vases, the Cell marble plates, and the Swirl bowl. Collaboration with the Spanish group Porcelanosa, specialising in wall coverings and ceramics, continued with the expansion of the Vitæ collection, created by Zaha Hadid for Noken. ZHD added the mirror, toilet control and mixers, and washbasin to the award-winning collection in 2018.

Winner of the 2004 Pritzker Architecture Prize, Zaha Hadid was one of the most influential architects and designers at the turn of the 21st century. Her bold, personal language is characterised by fluid, dynamic lines and complex, sculptural volumes. Her buildings are a condensation of sinuous curves, spirals, and prisms; they appear as surreal objects that defy the laws of statics. Her substantial body of work includes buildings in many countries. In Italy, she created the MAXXI in Rome, the Salerno Maritime Station, the Naples Railway Station, the Cagliari Art Museum, the Generali Tower in Milan, known as "lo storto", as well as residential buildings for City Life. She died suddenly in Miami in 2016, at just 65, and is celebrated globally as one of the world's greatest archistars. Her unfinished projects are now being completed by collaborators, including Woody Yao and Maha Kutay, who joined ZHA in the mid-1990s; they have co-directed ZHD since 2013. Kutay is responsible for the Zaha Hadid Design Collection label launched in 2014.
