Designing a light shaped object that expresses the transition from solid traditional furniture to the slight thickness of plastic was the starting point of 'Tide' by london-based architect Zaha Hadid.
Developed for Italian furniture manufacturer Magis, based on the idea of minimal surfaces where points have a medium radius equivalent to zero, 'Tide' is a symmetric shelving module in which one can create different compositions through various rotations on itself. It allows individuals to build and rebuild the module to fit the space around them, adjusting the components according to their needs - where full empty spaces follow each other without interruption.

The shelving unit was presented at milan design week 2011.
