Branch
Console / by Zaha Hadid Architects
Opposite forces in harmony: gravity and lightness, stability and motion, solid and void. The result is the Branch console by Zaha Hadid Architects — a piece defined by a dynamic form that evokes a sense of perpetual tension. It embodies a perfect synthesis between the fluid elegance of contemporary design and the expressive strength of sculpted marble.
In Balance: Strength and Lightness
The Branch console by Zaha Hadid Architects embodies the essence of contemporary sculptural design — where visual lightness meets the tactile solidity of stone.
Sculpted with masterful precision, Branch appears as though shaped by the wind. Carved from a single block of prized Carrara marble, Branch draws inspiration from natural forces and the organic growth of tree limbs. Two sinuous, curving structures rise in perfect symmetry from the base, unfolding in a seamless, continuous flow toward the surface — a gesture both architectural and alive.
At its center, a sculpted void introduces a moment of weightlessness, a space that softens mass and invites light — establishing a dialogue between material and emptiness, gravity and grace. With its generous proportions and fluid form, Branch is equally at home in refined residential interiors and elegant public settings.
A Material Dialogue Between Nature and Time
Sinuous and fluid in form, Branch is far more than a furnishing element — it is a symbol of an innovative design language, where form does not simply follow function, but reimagines it through a poetic lens. It echoes the central theme of the Erosion collection to which it belongs: a profound exploration of the dynamic interplay between material, form, and time.
Through a refined and distinctive architectural vocabulary, Zaha Hadid Architects gives voice to the gradual transformation of stone — echoing the silent forces of wind and water, the slow imprint of natural erosion rendered in a continuous, flowing gesture.
The marble’s texture, veining, and subtle reflections are not mere surface qualities, but integral to the design itself, celebrating the singular character of each block and deepening the connection between nature, craftsmanship, and architectural form.
