Spooning
Zahara Hadid received a degree in Mathematics in Beirut before she moved to London to study architecture. Among many other architectural prizes to her name, she is the first and only female recipient of the coveted Pritzker Prize (2004). Not sure what eating utensils have to do with her lengthy list of achievements though. Maybe 3-dimensional buildings get old after a while and you just start to crave something flat. Enter the Zaha flatware set for WMF. Took too long to get to that punch line, didn’t I?
These ergonomically shaped utensils are designed to inspire. More so than to eat with.
It’s $250 for one such place setting of stainless steel flatware with a soup spoon reminiscent of the grim reaper, but they sure are visually stunning. Available at Arango.
Zaha Hadid recieved the Pritzker Prize for her theoretical/un-built work, very interesting. As evident in her flarwear design, her architecture is about movement and how it creates form, hence the very sleek and flowing designs of her buildings and utensils. Thought I’d put my two cents in.
