Zaha Hadid Design works in collaboration with Karimoku Furniture on the new SEYUN collection which was introduced recently during this year's Milan Design Week. The capsule is made up of a chair, an armchair, and a table that are constructed with different dimensions. It highlights the design language true to Hadid and uses oak wood that uses machine-made processes with hand-finished details.
Director of Zaha Hadid Design Woody Yao speaks about the new collection, stating “We are delighted to see our collaboration with Karimoku Furniture continuing so fruitfully, each piece of the SEYUN collection is the result of the truly osmotic process between designers and manufacturers. Our teams worked together at every stage of the project, mutually exchanging skills and expertise, discussing ideas and finding solutions, both formally and technically."
