Zaha HADID (1950-2016) with Patrick SCHUMACHER. Sold by designation. Exceptional chandelier model "VorteXX" in fiberglass, metallic paint and acrylics and LED modules. Executed by Sawaya & Moroni, Italy in collaboration with Ateliers Zumtobel Illuminazione, Austria. Designed in 2005. H. 200 cm D. 180 cm approx. The revolutionary design of this chandelier makes it a light sculpture giving the impression of an infinite ribbon of light. Thanks to the LED system, the colour changes continuously following the spirals of the chandelier, emphasizing the organic form. This model was made in 25 copies and ours is probably one of the last ones made. Model listed on page 235 in Zaha Hadid, l'intégrale - Editions Parenthèses 2009. Expert: Thierry ROCHE, Lyon.
