Seamless is a series of pieces designed by Zaha Hadid and executed by Established & Sons in 2006. Originally produced in a single colour specially created by Zaha Hadid, Serif 1 no longer focuses on the colour, but on the form.
Inspired by calligraphy, the Serif shelves, made of curves and clean lines, follow the principles of deconstructed architecture advocated by Zaha Hadid. Elegant, functional and sculptural, they can be seen as an abstract form as well as a functional object.
The Serif 1 is produced in a limited edition of 12 + 3 APs.
