Zaha Hadid left an indelible mark on the architectural world, transforming the look of contemporary architecture with her striking abstract and modernist designs. Fluid forms and Constructivist aesthetics — such as bold colors and softly angular edges — are the keynotes of her buildings and her furniture. Hadid’s work is the essence of energy and drama.
Born in Baghdad, Iraq, Hadid studied at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London and made that city her home for much of her life. Hadid’s design sensibility was formed more by art than architecture. In college, she was first inspired by the Russian avant-garde school of artists. The influence of painters such as Wassily Kandinsky and Kazimir Malevich is apparent in Hadid’s early work, in which she created abstract paintings and drawings to convey her ideas. The distortion of geometric shapes is a particularly prominent and recurring theme in her work. Hadid founded her firm in 1980, from which she launched architectural triumphs like the MAXXI Museum in Rome and the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art at Cincinnati's Contemporary Arts Center.
Hadid’s furniture and sculptures provide her admirers with the chance to bring the beauty and drama of her architecture into their homes. These designs are true centerpieces that fill even staid rooms with fluidity and rhythm. The organic forms of her designs bring a sweeping sense of movement to stationary objects. The furniture exhibits a kind of playfulness and creates a relationship with the user. Hadid transformed furniture into fine art.

'Moraine' Biomorphic Sofa by Zaha Hadid for Sawaya & Moroni Italy, 2000, Signed
By Zaha Hadid, Zaha Hadid Architects, Sawaya & Moroni
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This incredible and rare biomorphic sofa is by Zaha Hadid for Milano Italy based maker Sawaya & Moroni. Named 'Moraine', this double sided curved sofa from the Z-Scape series features hair-on-hides, over foam and metal, in a sumptuous purple-burgundy color. It is impossible to pinpoint the color as it changes depending on how the light hits the surface, changing from deeper cooler purple tones to warmer burgundy tones. The wild freeform shape gives opportunity to use in a myriad of ways to the user, from a chaise longue, to daybed, to tête-à-tête, to a non-standard couch, you can sit, lay, sleep, lounge whatever in this spectacular piece of functional art. Designed by famed architect Zaha Hadid (1950-2016) in 2000, this example produced shortly thereafter, is a collectors dream, so few were made and the ones that were are held in private and corporate collections, museums and exhibits worldwide including die Neue Pinakothek Museum in Munich, MAAS in Australia, and the Donna Karan headquarters in New York. Made of polyurethane foam with an asymmetrical freeform shape and covered in Red 'Fantasy Leather', a special hide produced by Sawaya & Moroni to create a 'pony skin' like effect. The edge of base with leather label “Sawaya & Moroni / MILANO - ITALY” About the designer: Zaha Hadid has emerged as one of the preeminent architects and designers at the turn of the century, creating dynamic and complex forms. Awarded the Pritzker Prize in 2004, she is the first woman to receive the prestigious honor. Although her built works are few in number, her impact on the world of architecture and design has been enormous. The Moraine sofa...
