Pieces by Zaha Hadid, Superstudio, and Adolf Loos go on auction

A design auction, featuring a few rare and standout pieces by the late architect Zaha Hadid, will take place at one of Europe’s largest auction houses, Palais Dorotheum in Vienna, on June 20, 2017.

The “Design First” auction focuses on radical designs from the 1960s. Besides pieces designed by Hadid, works from architecture firm Superstudio and Austrian architect Adolf Loos are also up for bidding. Hadid’s “Project in Red” sofa, which is a part of her Wave Collection and was presented at Milan’s nightclub Studio 54 in September 1988, is a highlight. Another design by Hadid that will be in the auction includes a pair of “Monsoon” seats, which were custom-made in the 1990s for the Monsoon Restaurant in Sapporo, Japan. The other Zaha pieces include a tea and coffee set, as well as an ash “Ordrupgaard Bench.”

The items are now on view at the site before the auction tomorrow. Bidders can also bid online on the Palais Dorotheum’s website, which ends in a few hours.
