Iconic Sofa “Moon System” – Zaha Hadid for B&B Italia (2007)
We have the privilege of presenting a masterpiece of contemporary design: the 'Moon System' sofa, a revolutionary creation by world-renowned architect Zaha Hadid, developed in collaboration with the prestigious Italian company B&B Italia in 2007.
A true manifesto of Zaha Hadid's “fluid” architectural language, this sofa transcends the function of mere furniture to become a habitable sculpture. Its unique biomorphic silhouette evokes a monolithic block carved from a single mass, in which the back, seat, and armrests intertwine in a continuous and dynamic movement.
History and Importance of Design
Zaha Hadid, the first woman to win the Pritzker Prize, conceived the Moon System as an exploration of complex geometry. Presented at the Salone del Mobile in Milan in 2007, this piece immediately marked the history of design thanks to its rejection of right angles and its ability to transform the surrounding space. It is a work that captures the essence of futurism and B&B Italia's technical innovation, capable of shaping such bold forms in high-density injected polyurethane.
Technical Characteristics & State of Preservation
Designer: Zaha Hadid (1950–2016)
Producer: B&B Italia
Model: Moon System
Materials: Internal steel frame, padding in flexible polyurethane foam cold-foamed. Full-grain high-quality leather covering (color black).
Dimensions: Height 85 cm | Width 295 cm | Depth 210 cm
Included accessory: coordinated ottoman/extension, designed to fit perfectly into the sofa’s curve or to be used separately, offering great versatility in configuration.
Authenticity: Presence of the original B&B Italia label under the frame, guaranteeing the authenticity and provenance of the piece.
Condition: Excellent overall condition. The leather shows an elegant patina and slight signs of wear (visible in the close-up photos), which attest to the authenticity without compromising the sculptural integrity of the work.
Why this piece is an investment
The Moon System is no longer just a sofa, but a true collectible object whose value continues to grow in the art and design market. Zaha Hadid's passing in 2016 further reinforced the iconic status of her furniture designs, making this sofa a top-choice for institutions, high-level interior designers, and discerning private collectors.
