Zaha Hadid presents new marble series design for the Italian brand cetco.The collection has been exhibited this years salone del mobile and the colelction includes different colours of vases.
The Tau vases appear organic; emerging as a series of intricately rendered pleats expressing the formal complexity of natural growth systems. Seemingly as delicate as flower petals, the fragile aesthetic of the vases belies the solidity of their material.

Created in five sizes and in four different marbles, the Quad table is an exercise in precision. Fanning out from a central void, the marble tabletop flows to its points of grounding in each corner, gathering into subtle folds as it progresses from the horizontal to vertical; its fluid surfaces appear taut and pleated, denying the inherent unmalleability of its structure.
