Chanel likes Zaha Hadid

Coco Chanel was friend with many artists and invented patronage before the hour. Lipchitz, Cousteau, Stravinsky and Diaghilev, ranked among the artists she helped. Now Karl will collaborate with Zaha Hadid for a mobile exhibition. The design was launched in Venice during the Art Biennale opening weekend.



The form of the Chanel Pavilion is a celebration of the iconic work of Chanel, unmistakeable for its smooth layering of exquisite details that together create an elegant, cohesive whole. The resulting structure is very much tied to that original inspiration—elegant, functional, and versatile both in its overall structure and detail.


The architectural structure of the Pavilion is a series of continuous arch-shaped elements, with a courtyard in its central space. The glazed ceiling adjusts to allow for control of the interior temperature in response to the particular climate conditions of each venue city.
