Launched in Milan this week, the new Erosion Collection by Zaha Hadid Architects for Neutra explores a dynamic interplay between materiality, time and form. The collection’s Minera Table and Branch Console celebrate the beauty of natural stone transformed over time.
Carved from the finest Carrara marble, the fluid forms and sinuous lines of the collection blur the boundary between furniture and sculpture, suggesting an alternative concept of space.
The Minera Table emerges as a singular composition defined by its materiality and precision craftsmanship. Expressing the erosion evident in the natural world, the table’s fluid forms have been expertly carved by Neutra from a single block of marble. Accommodating up to eight people, the Minera Table measures 320 x 160 x 72 cm and is an exclusive limited edition of eight pieces.
Finely balanced between lightness and solidity, the Branch Console appears simultaneously suspended in space yet firmly grounded by the natural forces acting upon it. Crafted from one piece of marble, two symmetrical branches rise seamlessly from the base to support the 290 x 68 cm surface of the console, defining a central void which enhances the ethereal qualities of the design
