Wonder Wall at Selfridges

Selfridges department store in London has created a Wonder Wall to showcase creative talent, as part of its new Wonder Room ground floor refurbishment by Klein Dytham Architecture.

Wonder Wall consists of six cabinets that will host a rotating series of exhibitions, starting with – guess who? – Zaha Hadid.

Here’s some info about the inaugural installation, which runs until 30 November:
—
The first Wonder Wall by architect Zaha Hadid reflects her role as a pioneer in linking art with architecture.

The design of the perspex panels across the six cabinets derives from her seminal London painting Malevich’s Tektonik (1976-77) – and positions her objects of inspiration in their own unique landscape.

Some of the inspirational themes explored include natural forces such as fluidity, gravity & elasticity.
