Serac bench by Zaha Hadid for Lab 23

Milan 2013: the famous designer and architect Zaha Hadid presented her latest extravagant pieces of furniture. When designing this bench, the artist was inspired by crevasses, she imagined a block of ice and only then did she start working on the design of the bench.

She is presenting the final product this week in the Tortona district of Milan.

The exhibition of designer benches in Milan – Futuristic cool bench

The Serac bench designed by Zaha Hadid for the furniture manufacturers of LAB 23 is made of a combination of resin and quartz, which gives the whole product a brilliant white color.

Artful and extravagant exhibition

The surface of the bench is shaped like a series of smooth edges and curves, and a single arch forms the backrest on one side.

The strange piece of furniture can be seen at the following address: Officine della Torner just around the corner from Dezeen‘s film studio next to the MINI Paceman Garage.
