Multiple Zaha

Architects lately put their energy outside the world of architecture as we know it. Building apparel, objects and other everyday pieces. It is also architecture we are looking at since they all deal with form, structure, colors and many other elements of architecture. Zaha Hadid is lately working with different companies creating shoes, taps, and more!

Tap of the future! The architect joins brassware british manufacturer Triflow for this very architectural everyday piece.
"The design is a formal expression of the continuous flow of liquid - merging the spout, body and handle of the tap in a seamless trajectory of curvilinear geometries".
Very elegant indeed.





Zaha Hadid is also working with French-based fashion label Lacoste to create a footwear collection that's slated for release in spring/summer 2009.

Teaming up with Melissa, brasilian brand for this eco-vegan plastic shoes.
100% recyclable.

Boris Bally's Street Signs

Re-usage is maybe the main characteristic of the artist's work. Street signs that become chairs, plates and other nice objects. The creation of a sense of domesticity.

Just for your information: Mr. Bally recycles the signs...he doesn't steal them!!!!!

I simply LOVE his work!

Forest(s)!

"Yuken Teruya manipulates everyday objects, transforming their meanings to reflect on contemporary society and culture. Cutting trees out of paper bags and cardboard toilet paper rolls, he creates meticulous and intricate art works, small and enchanting worlds, which relate to broader concerns. In each bag and roll, the shape of a tree is created without adding or removing anything, just by cutting out and folding the paper from the bag itself. Teruya’s works explore issues such as the growing consumerism of contemporary society, depleting natural resources and other problems associated with globalism, including the threat it poses to localized cultural traditions and identities".
