움직임과 정체 사이의 긴장감을 반영한 디자인이다. 잔잔한 파도와 잔물결이 테이블 위에 평평한 표면 아래로 소용돌이치며 쏫아져 내리는 듯하다. 테이블의 표면의 물성인 투명한 아크릴은 무한 굴절의 만화경 디스플레이를 통해 깊이와 복잡성을 더하여 극적인 효과를 유발한다. 결과적으로 주변 환경의 변화에 부합하는 동시에 지속적으로 적응하면서 아름다운 오브제를 만들어낸다. 커피 테이블이자 식탁으로 활용할 수 있다. ANN

Winning best ‘Contemporary Design Piece’ at the 2012 Pavilion of Art + Design in London, the Liquid Glacial coffee table encapsulates the tension between movement and stasis. Gentle waves and ripples move beneath the flat surface of the table-top, while its legs pour from the horizontal in a dramatic vortex of water that seems frozen in time. The transparent acrylic amplifies this perception, adding depth and complexity through a kaleidoscopic display of light and infinite refractions. The result is a beautiful object that inherits a myriad of colours from its surroundings, and continually adapts to changing viewpoints. It is also available as a dining table.

Referencing Zaha Hadid’s process, with each new project, ZAHA HADID DESIGN (ZHD) continues to examine its significance within the dialogue of contemporary design by interpreting both the present and the future, and by continuing to share Hadid’s story.

ZHD, which is led creatively by co-Directors Maha Kutay and Woody Yao, has an extensive cross-disciplinary portfolio which includes design in fashion; jewellery; furniture and finishes; interiors; exhibitions; installations; sculpture; and set-design.

“The strength of the collection lies in our ability to interpret the ordinary into something unexpected. When designing objects Zaha was never constrained by any given use or spatial context. We continue to follow and draw strength from this approach so that the collection has room to evolve without compromising the integrity of the design.”

When speaking about the ZHD Collection - the own label of design objects launched by Hadid in 2014, Yao and Kutay explain: ZHD also operates the Zaha Hadid Gallery in London, UK which examines her work across all scales, and which is host to temporary exhibitions featuring emerging designers, as well as a venue for product launches, lectures, and performances rooted in contemporary culture. <ZHA Close Up_MAM Shanghai>
