The Moon System sofa sculpture, designed by Zaha Hadid, has a unique and recognizable profile. Its curvilinear shapes and dynamic movement make it stand out. The design appears as a single block, with the backrest, seat, and armrest all molded into one material. The ottoman complements the hollows of the seat and follows its profile seamlessly.
Moon System is a true design statement, an iconic sofa that does not renounce to ergonomic design and comfort. The textile collection includes stretch fabrics in different colors and polyurethane-coated covers that enhance its sculptural look.

Zaha Hadid, the founder of Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA), was awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2004 and is internationally known for her built theoretical and academic work.

She moved to London in 1972 to attend the Architectural Association (AA) School, where she was awarded the Diploma Prize in 1977.
Hadid founded the ZHA studio in 1979. With forty years of exploration and research in the interrelated fields of urbanism, architecture, and design, ZHA became one of the world’s most consistently inventive architectural studios.
Establishing Zaha Hadid Design (ZHD) in 2006, she partnered with iconic brands to create exceptional limited-edition pieces in the world’s most admired museum collections. Zaha Hadid’s outstanding contribution to the architectural profession has been acknowledged by professional, academic, and civic institutions worldwide. In 2010 and 2011, the Royal Institute of British Architects awarded her designs the Stirling Prize, one of architecture’s highest accolades.
Other awards include UNESCO naming Hadid as an Artist for Peace, the Republic of France honoring Hadid with the Commandeur de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, and Time magazine included her in the “100 Most Influential People in the World”, naming her the world’s top thinker of 2010.
