Zaha Hadid All At Sea

In a first for Zaha Hadid, a commission of a nautical nature has resulted in the design of a limited edition launch, fittingly named: ‘Z.Boat’

Zaha Hadid All At Sea

July 18th, 2012

UK based art dealer, Kenny Schachter of Rove Gallery has commissioned another designer-mobile from the ’Queen of the Curve’: Zaha Hadid.

Having already engaged her services on the futuristic 2005 automobile: ’Z.Car’ and its follow up: ’ZCar.2’, his latest project continues to blur the lines between art, transportation and design.

“The idea is to think of vessels and vehicles as highly individualistic expressions of art, architecture and design reflecting the edge of what is possible…”

– Kenny Schachter

In design terms ’Z.Boat’ will buck traditional maritime engineering conventions and accommodate the 8 seafaring passengers in an asymmetrical hull and half-cabin.

With France’s Shoreteam bringing Hadid and Schachter’s faceted, fiberglass vision to life, sea worthiness schedules will see a limited run of 12 vessels launched in early 2013.

HOSPITALITY :: A design double header with @Kori_icecream and @architectseat !

Kōri Ice Cream is here! A new ice cream parlour has opened in Melbourne that features retail interior design at its very best. With summer on its way, this new destination will wow both young and old and is certain to be the place to meet and gather. With outstanding icy products, and an interior design that is more than impressive, Kōri Ice Cream is a stand out on every level.

Ice cream has a special place in everyone’s life and now this cold sweet treat has an exciting new, purpose-designed home that pleases the eye while satisfying the cold treat cravings. Designed by the exemplary, and aptly named, Architects EAT, Kōri Ice Cream is certainly making a name for itself for excellent ice cream and stunning interior design.

Located in Hawthorn on busy Glenferrie Road, queues have been known to form just to taste the delicious and unusual flavours of ice cream but it’s upon arrival at the shop that the experience really begins. The outside hints at what is inside, the heritage façade is painted white with a large terracotta/red (Dulux Retro Disco) stripe on the side.
