Product description
Zaha Hadid for Rosenthal “Weave” Vase
Glossy Black Porcelain, Germany, 21st century
This striking porcelain vase belongs to the **“Weave”** series designed by **Zaha Hadid** for **Rosenthal**, one of the most intellectually ambitious collaborations between contemporary architecture and European porcelain manufacture.
The form translates Hadid’s unmistakable architectural language—fluid dynamics, controlled tension, and sculptural compression—into three dimensions at an intimate, domestic scale. The vase appears simultaneously faceted and soft: sharp planar transitions dissolve into flowing concave and convex surfaces, creating a rhythmic sense of movement even when the object is static. The hexagonal opening and base anchor the piece geometrically, while the body seems to twist and “weave” inward, echoing Hadid’s experiments with parametric form and spatial continuity.
Produced by Rosenthal in high-fired porcelain, the vase is finished in a deep **high-gloss black glaze** that functions almost like a mirror. Light glides across the surface, accentuating the architectural folds and revealing subtle variations in curvature. The precision of the glazing and firing underscores Rosenthal’s technical mastery and its long tradition of working with designers who challenge the limits of porcelain as a sculptural medium.
The underside bears the Rosenthal Germany mark, confirming authentic manufacture. This is a factory-produced design object of museum-adjacent quality, conceived by one of the most influential architects of the late 20th and early 21st centuries and executed by a historic German porcelain house renowned for its collaborations with leading figures of modern and contemporary design.
