Zaha Hadid is an architect with whom Alessi started working in the 1980s, but with whom they had not yet developed items for mass production. Having graduated from the Architectural Association in London, she launched on her professional career in 1979. She has taught in many European and American universities and is currently a lecturer at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and a Visiting Professor in Yale.

Features:

• Designed by Zaha Hadid, also known as a painter and designer. Her works have been on show in various exhibitions in the US, Japan, England and Germany.
• A vase cut from a single block of steel and scored along two diagonal lines, Crevasse by Zaha Hadid for Alessi creates a warped, inverted surface.
• With a force similar to that of an arctic crevasse, the twisted walls accentuate the verticality of Hadid's creation.
• Finished with a mirror-polish, the object's algid perfection resembles the reflection of perpetual snow.
• Crevasse is infused with Hadid's highly cerebral, intense aesthetic, which creates a functional object that speaks to the designer's own philosophies.
• Assembled in groups, the vases come together and match to create solid forms. Standing alone, the vase is visually strong; making an impact where ever it is placed.
