Creating flawless lines in architectural masterpieces all around the world, architect Zaha Hadid has now put her design genius into creating a design storage unit.
The stunning design storage unit was recently unveiled at Milan Design Week 2014 to amazing reviews, and it's not hard to see why. Looking like a sculpture, the storage unit is made up of a series of elongated strips of shiny black granite. The fluid 'Tela Shelving' unit was created for Italian brand CITCO and is designed in a way to make the super heavy gleaming stone look weightless.
"Tela is a shelving system characterized by an interesting dichotomy: the solidity of the black granite of which it is composed seemingly dissipates with the elongated cantilevers," says Hadid.
