M+, Asia’s first global museum of contemporary visual culture in the West Kowloon Cultural District in Hong Kong, proudly unveils a pop-up shop featuring the artistic creations of Zaha Hadid Design.
As part of the M+ x Zaha Hadid Design Special Collection, twelve limited-edition lifestyle pieces inspired by the iconic architectural projects designed for Hong Kong by legendary British-Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid will be available for purchase inside the museum.
The M+ x Zaha Hadid Design Special Collection is inspired by Hadid’s winning entry in the competition in 1983 for The Peak Leisure Club, a luxury recreational and residential complex that was to be built high in the hills overlooking Hong Kong. The proposal, which was her first project to gain widespread recognition, is highly illustrative of the formal experiments that would characterise her work throughout her career. Its complex and shattered forms would become associated with the deconstructivist movement in architecture during the late 1980s. The project is widely regarded as Hadid’s breakthrough project which first earned her international renown and is a pivotal moment in her explorations of painting as a design tool. Eleven paintings of the award-winning project are currently on display in Things, Spaces, Interactions at the East Galleries of M+, alongside prints and plans for the project.
M+ x Zaha Hadid Design Special Collection includes a range of fine China dinnerware in a remastered version of the ZHD classic ‘Beam’ collection, signature silk kimono, luxury carpets, showpiece lenticular posters, collectible enamel pins, and trendsetting T-shirts and tote bags. All products represent the architectural landmark which could have been hovering over the city of Hong Kong, projecting how it would have been experienced from different angles of day and night.
