Unique Cutlery by Zaha Hadid

Filed under: Decor


I, for one, am a fan of understated design elements -- the things that don't jump out, but get admired more by chance by people who notice details. And as far as I'm concerned this cutlery set designed by architect Zaha Hadid, with the fluid and unique design, is one of those items. Artistic yet surprisingly simple and functional, the two spoons are my favorites. They seem fun to use but in a sophisticated way -- reminding me of grown-up versions of the silly-straw, but without the cheap plastic and obnoxious colors.

The $250 set should be available starting this month, but with a very limited U.S. distribution.

Futuristic Kitchen by Zaha Hadid

Filed under: Decor, Dining

 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.
