Why We Chose Zaha Hadid Design for Bayte
Zaha Hadid (1950–2016) was one of the most celebrated architects of her time, known for bold, fluid forms, and the first woman to receive the Pritzker Architecture Prize. She established Zaha Hadid Design in 2006 to bring the same principles to a more intimate scale. Today the studio is part of the Zaha Hadid Foundation and continues to translate her methods into objects for the home and the table.
Each collection begins in Hadid's own repertoire. The Braid vases come from her investigations into the tower form, rising from a distinct base in intertwined porcelain. The Cell pieces reference the replication and growth of cellular organisms, their stainless steel cut by robotic laser into gradients of hexagons and spheres. The Serenity platters explore what happens when a calm surface is gently disturbed: a mirror-polished disc, interrupted by a single ripple.
The studio works across porcelain, bone china, mouth-blown glass, crystal, marble and stainless steel. The Swirl bowls are milled from marble to hold one continuous movement. The Pulse glassware is hand-blown with rippled pleats, so no two pieces are quite alike. The Cell Platter is milled from Nero Marquina and Statuario marble in Italy. Many pieces are finished by hand, and their slight variations are part of their character.
What drew us to Zaha Hadid Design is how her sense of motion carries into everyday rituals: lighting candles, setting a table, placing a single branch in a vase. The pieces are sculptural enough to stand alone and practical enough to use every day, with food-safe finishes on the bowls and platters. The collection is distributed in the US by Eloma Imports, and every piece ships from the US.
