Z. Island Kitchen Design by Zaha HadidZaha Hadid, known around the world for her dramatic architectural projects, has now turned her visionary approach to the kitchen.
The futuristic "Z. Island by DuPont Corian" creates an "intelligent" environment that responds to the desires of the senses, while meeting a variety of conventional and innovative functional kitchen needs.
The project envelops multimedia equipment, sound actuators and LEDs within a flowing shell of Corian - the original solid surface from DuPont - enabling users to surf the internet, listen to music or create a particular ambience by means of a centralized touch-control panel.
Zaha Hadid explains: "The overall environment has been designed to be responsive to the user's needs - it can be adjusted to address the senses in many ways, translating the intellectual into the sensual whilst emphasizing the complex and continuous nature of the design.
The user is given the unique opportunity to experiment with unexpected and totally immersive environments."
