A few weeks ago Trend Hunter featured a sofa that appeared to change shape depending on your angle. Now Zaha Hadid has designed this moon sofa for positioning in the center of a room. Its continuous shape appears to change as you observe it from different points in the room. It has all the complexity of the block geometric design for which Zaha Hadid is well known. The furniture was introduced by B&B Italia at London Design Week in September.
