Four vertical petals rise from a single base, twisting around one another in a continuous braid that owes as much to structural engineering as it does to craft. The Braid Vase is n ot a decorative object in the conventional sense. It is a reduction of Zaha Hadid's architectural thinking into a form small enough to hold flowers. Hadid, the Iraqi-born, London-based architect, spent more than three decades dissolving the right angle. Her buildings in Guangzhou, Rome, and Baku demonstrated that a structure could move, could suggest velocity even in stillness. The Braid Vase carries that same conviction. The opening at the crown is not incidental. Stems inserted there continue the vertical logic of the form, making the arrangement an extension of the object rather than a separate gesture.
