VorteXX
Zaha Hadid

Symbiosis of organic lines and dynamic modulation of light colours.

Zaha Hadid

Zaha Hadid is an Iraq-born British architect and professor of architecture, who radically breaks with conventional architecture and rejects the primacy of the square angle in this field. Her designs are characterised by flowing shapes restructuring space.

VorteXX

Zumtobel implemented the VorteXX lighting sculpture in collaboration with Sawaya & Moroni, following an idea developed jointly by architects Zaha Hadid and Patrik Schumacher. VorteXX is a perfect symbiosis of organic lines and a surprisingly dynamic modulation of light colours. This impressive design is based on the vision of an infinite ribbon of light. Its charismatically curved outlines remind the beholder of a double helix and seem like a continuously flowing form – weightless, impulsive and radiant.

Design

VorteXX is a perfect symbiosis of organic lines and richly colourful and simultaneously brilliant white light. This makes VorteXX create harmonious lighting scenes wherever it is installed, and have a sustainable impact on people's sense of well-being. A translucent acrylic glass cover was inserted into its highly specular surface made of fibre-glass-reinforced polyester to achieve uniform light distribution and optimum colour mixture.
