Zaha Hadid's work has been widely praised and criticised and sometimes her unceasing presence in print can be overwhelming. However, I do have a soft spot for Hadid as we are both former graduates of the Inchbald School of Design. Her latest piece entitled 'Kloris’, a cluster of sculptural seating elements inspired by the shapes of flower petals, made its presence felt at Sotheby's Chatsworth Beyond the Limits exhibit 2008. When I saw Kloris displayed outdoors in the very traditional setting of Chatsworth House I felt a renewed interest and enthusiasm for her work.
Whether you enjoy her projects or not Hadid's work has the status of a manifesto towards a new design language for urbanism, architecture and the world of products, but enough of that, I will let you interpret for yourself.
Materials : Fibregalss with chrome finish
edition: 12+2 AP
Size: h: 80 w: 649 x d: 509cm
Kloris is currently accessible to the public at the Sonnenbend gallery New York.
I have always appreciated Zaha's work. She is so edgy but also she really understands what a sleek and dynamic line can do.
