London, United Kingdom
Under the skilled lead of Patrik Schumacher, the European Prize for Architecture Laureate firm of Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA), have won three high-status 2025 Good Design Awards for new indoor/outdoor furniture produced for Spanish and Italian luxury manufacturers iSiMAR, Neutra, and Serralunga.
The Spanish brand iSiMAR, in collaboration with Zaha Hadid Architects, brings together elegance and functional innovation paramount to producing standout pieces for the outdoor landscape TOPOS collection.
The ZHA team of Jim Heverin, Victor Orive, Javier Rueda, Man Jia, and Nelly Huang produced this unique, groundbreaking outdoor furniture—single chairs and a chaise-longue—highlighting the meeting of architectural precision with Mediterranean charm.
The Mediterranean lifestyle—a medley of relaxation, elegance, and connection with nature—serves as the primary muse for the TOPOS collection, translating the natural contours of its landscapes into fluid, organic shapes.
The galvanized steel rod structure offers timeless adaptability, allowing each piece to radiate a distinct identity while coalescing with diverse environments.
The use of steel rods, a recyclable material, facilitates an eco-friendly production process by allowing for shape creation without the need for moulds.
Next, Patrik Schumacher, Sebastian Andia, Yutong Xia, Martina Rosati, and Stefano Paiocchi from ZHA teamed up with Neutra srl. to blur the lines between art and furniture with the Minera Table carved from a single block of Carrara marble.
Minera celebrates the beauty of natural stone transformed over time.
As a stunning, statement design element, the table elegantly reflects a “continuity of form” and explores the intersection of the natural erosion processes with precision and modern manufacturing.
The table measures 320 x 160 x 72 centimeters and can accommodate eight people.
The distinctive undulating forms of the Ripple Outdoor Sofa and Side Table for Serralunga srl. are inspired by fluidity with flowing curves and lines that define a sense of movement, thereby highlighting the sculptural quality of the ensemble.
For the sofa, the ZHA team headed by Michele Pasca di Magliano with Maria Tsironi, Irfan Bhakrani, and Carine Posner encapsulate the dynamism of a wave arriving at the shore, gradually reducing to the smaller scale of the side table to create versatile lounging configurations.
Integrated lighting within the base of the sofa illuminates the pairing in the evening.
The furniture is crafted in weather-resistant recyclable polyethylene. The bespoke outdoor arrangement is both durable and comfortable.
“There are 360 degrees,” stated Zaha Hadid, “so why stick to one?”
