13. • VORTEXX lighting sculpture
creates a perfect symbiosis
of organic lines and
surprisingly dynamic light
colour modulation being
suitable setting for any
interior – from small and
gloomy to high majestic
ceiling interiors.
• The charismatically curved
lines conjure up a double
helix that appears to flow in
perpetual motion –
weightless, vivid and
brilliant.
• This impression of fluidity is
emphasised by the dynamic
lighting’s vibrant luminosity. 13

14. • The light colour of the
chandelier changes
continuously and almost
imperceptibly.
• A translucent acrylic glass
diffuser fits perfectly into the
glass fibre-reinforced polyester
luminaire with its high gloss
finish to provide uniform light
distribution and optimum
colour mixing.
• VORTEXX imparts a sense of
harmonious illumination to its
surroundings, creating a
lasting feeling of well being on
whomever it shines on.

15. “Our work imbues architecture
with the intricacy and beauty of
natural forms. Using a formal
language derived from the
movement of water, the Roca
London Gallery has been
eroded and polished by fluidity;
generating a sequence of
dynamic spaces carved from
this fascinating interplay
between architecture and
nature”.

The abstract white walls let the artwork speak for itself; the slightly
changing light directions indicate subtle changes in atmosphere
when moving from room to room to form a spatial background.

19. MORAINE SOFA
• Moraine sofa give three-
dimensional domestic scale to
her abstract architectural forms.
• Conceived originally as part of a
suite of furniture inspired by
glacial formations, the Moraine
breaks new ground in its radical
curvilinear asymmetrical form, a
piece of furniture that is both
sculpture and seating, abstract
and functional.
• The sofa’s moulded, free-form
shape also gives physical
expression to the digital design
technology that has played, and
will continue to play a seminal
role in Hadid’s highly creative
design process. 19

and is artistic and rather
unassuming.

whole, a curious and curvaceous
form that invites viewers to engage
