Crevasse Vase
Zaha Hadid conceived the Crevasse as a study in controlled disruption. A single block of steel, scored along two diagonal axes, warps inward to create a surface that simultaneously recedes and expands. The gesture is architectural in origin, drawn from Hadid's lifelong preoccupation with the tension between natural force and constructed form.
The mirror-polish finish is not decorative but conceptual. It turns the vase into a reflective field, dissolving its edges into the surrounding environment and amplifying the sense of depth within the fold. Cold, precise, and quietly unsettling, the surface recalls the compressed luminosity of glacial ice.
- Formed from mirror-polished stainless steel
- Scored along two diagonal lines to produce an inverted, warped wall
- Designed to stand independently or group with other Crevasse vases to form continuous sculptural compositions
- Produced by Alessi in collaboration with Zaha Hadid Design
Grouped together, multiple Crevasse vases interlock into solid, continuous forms, a behavior that reflects Hadid's broader interest in parametric aggregation. Alone, the object asserts its own spatial presence with quiet authority.
