Sculptural vessels by Zaha Hadid and Gareth Neal • Design Father

Fluid sculptural vessels by Zaha Hadid and Gareth Neal

Sculpted using oak, these -almost fluid- vessels designed by Zaha Hadid and Gareth Neal actually embody the fusion between technological innovation and traditional wood techniques.

Hadid and Neal teamed up for this project as part of a project presented by the American Hardwood Export Council and Benchmark Furniture. Originally exhibited at the V&A Museum during London Design Festival 2014, it is now Sarah Myerscough Gallery that has exclusive representation of the vessels and is displaying them at COLLECT 2015 at the Saatchi Gallery in London in May 2015.

The result is the perfect example of combining two design disciplines, as well as juxtaposing craftsmanship and new technologies in woodwork.

Vasilis Lagios

Vasilis Lagios, a Leica enthousiast, was recently found within an overwhelming social media time tunnel, lost among films and html codes. He always loses track of time, even in the presence of his sharp wristwatch. Enjoys the company of banana-chocolate ice cream in the heat, Hendrick’s and Macs. When he's not trying to track down the world’s last T3 VW to name his own. Knows the importance of when and how to wear the perfect shirt or pair of shoes. Design Father surprisingly has no wheels, but wings and is his only true child. And the proof that he is and always will be a scout. Probably even the last boy scout. Even if he truly has absolutely no fucking clue.
