Zaha Hadid Design also created a wide variety of pieces for living and for the home, from architecturally inspired homeware, and sculptural jewellery, to limited edition furniture, and innovative installations and interiors. By exploring the latest in technological and material innovations, combined with bespoke craftsmanship, Zaha Hadid always pushed the boundaries of traditional design methodologies.
