When the world lost Zaha Hadid this past March it lost a true architectural visionary whose work is likely to be studied and revered for generations to come. In 2014 Hadid and her design partner Patrik Schumacher created a unique 3D printed chair that was created to explore the use of software to create structurally optimized furnishings. The chair was developed along with 3D printing company Stratasys, which used their multi-color, multi-material 3D printers to manufacture the chair. The structure of the chair was generated using design software that would automatically enhance the material density and depth in structurally required areas. Stratasys is showcasing the 3D printed chair that they created with Hadid and Schumacher at a sprawling retrospective of the world-renowned designers life's work at the Venice Architecture Biennale.
