Roca Gallery – London
A sinuous, curvaceous form showroom/gallery
designed by Zaha Hadid. The inspiration for the shapes and form of
the space taken from the effects of water, how it moves and erodes through
stone, forming and making caverns and spaces.
But forgetting all that this showroom is a wonderful space! You are lead through the curving spaces,
exploring like child, keen to see what is at the end, behind the bend, in
through the arch. Lit with defused light
bouncing off the ceiling from channels of light scribed out of the ceiling. The tight palette of grey, white and black
displays the ‘pedestrian’ bathroom fittings in an exciting way. The space excites and teases you in equal
measure. What fun – do go and have a
look.
