Zaha Hadid, a renowned figure in contemporary architecture, is recognized as a true global archistar. The first woman to win the Pritzker Prize in 2004, she began her career as an artist and has frequently contributed to furniture and product design.

Over the years, Zaha Hadid’s stylistic language has undergone an acceleration towards one of the dominant themes of her work, extending beyond the purely architectural realm. The movement, often interpreted as the representation of flows traversing space, has created works characterized by fluid and anamorphic forms, conveying a strong sense of dynamism. Hadid’s forms have drawn inspiration from natural elements such as air, water, and earth, necessitating experimentation with various materials.

In the field of furniture design, in 2012 Zaha Hadid and Metea introduced the “Liquid Glacial” series, consisting of chairs and tables made of transparent Plexiglas, which emulate the process of glacier melting. The collection captures the tension between movement and stillness, leveraging Plexiglas’s ability to amplify this perception.
