Futuristic Kitchen by Zaha Hadid
Zaha Hadid is an architect known for her innovative and
deconstructionist designs, which are found throughout the world. During Design Week in Milan, Hadid created a
futuristic kitchen setting out of DuPont Corian. The Z-Island
kitchen included two main units, one associated with "fire," which housed the cooktop, and one associated
with "water," which had the sink and dishrack. In addition to these fairly basic functions, the "sensory-
responsive kitchen environment" had multimedia sound and video equipment embedded into the islands, all of which
could be controlled with a central touch panel. The modular wall storage featured a coating that gave it "advanced
sound and light diffusion capabilities" to enhance the overall experience of being in the room.
