Proper Chair is architect's goalLONDON - A "proper chair" is in the sites of world-famous architect Zaha Hadid.

She says  "it needs to really work and it needs to be comfortable," in a Wall St. Journal interview. Like Calatrava, Mies van der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright, Philip Johnson and Frank Gehry, Hadid designs dramatic projects that are events in themselves, and is compelled to create interior elements that match.

Many of her commissions become blockbuster attractions, drawing huge crowds at sites such as art museums in Glasgow  and Rome. Her practice also does commercial and residential projects.

Furniture pieces created by Hadad for Sawaya & Moroni are "conceptually derived from dynamic landscape formations" and designed to coexist as a single mass or reconstituted fragments. In stark contrast to conventional furniture, all pieces embrace an element of strangeness and indeterminacy, only loosely adhering to functional and ergonomic considerations.
