The Wick Culture - Design Crevasse Vase, Zaha Hadid x Alessi

Design Crevasse Vase, Zaha Hadid x Alessi

Cutting edge. The late, great Dame Zaha Hadid is best known for expansive architectural designs that grace the skyline of modern metropolises all over the world. This collection with Alessi Spa presents her designs in compact, ownable form, evoking the fluid and dynamic quality of her buildings. The Crevasse Vase (unveiled 2005-2011) presents two mirror-plated vases cut from a single block, diagonally scored to create an inverted connecting pair or to stand on its own. Though Hadid is often dubbed ‘Queen of the Curve’, the vase is strikingly angular in shape – a distinctive piece of homeware beautifully twisted and simple in its idiosyncrasy.
