Alessi - Zaha Hadid - Vase (3) - Crevasse - Acier inoxydable 18/10 poli miroir

Designed by Zaha Hadid in 2005, set of three Alessi Crevasses. In the design of these vases, Hadid was inspired by the shapes of a deep crack in the thick ice of a glacier, known as a Crevasse. These vases were shaped entirely by hand which makes each one absolutely one-of-a-kind. This makes the Crevasse a perfect example of Hadid's explorational style towards complex fluid geometries and usage of cutting-edge techniques that demand extreme artisanal attention.

These vases are in new and unused condition. Delivered with original packaging and documentation.

Dimensions each vase:
Height: 42 cm
Length: 8 cm
Width: 6 cm

About Alessi:
Alessi, a renowned Italian design brand founded in 1921 Giovanni Alessi, has become a symbol of cutting-edge design and innovative craftsmanship, especially in Postmodernism and Contemporary design as well as some Bauhaus objects. Over the decades, it has collaborated with iconic designers such as Alessandro Mendini, Aldo Rossi, Achille Castiglioni, Ettore Sottsass (a founder of the Memphis group), Michael Graves, Marcel Wanders, Richard Sapper, the Bouroullec brothers, Tom Kovac, Toyo Ito, Jean Nouvel, Ron Arad, and Gio Ponti. These collaborations have cemented Alessi's reputation for creating timeless, functional pieces that double as works of art. The most celebrated design is Philippe Starck's Juicy Salif citrus squeezer, which almost became Alessi’s brand symbol in the minds of design lovers. This makes Alessi a brand with high impact and rich marriage with fundamental design DNA. More recently, a collaboration with Virgil Abloh's creative agency infused a fresh, modern sensibility into Alessi’s offerings.
