Architect Zaha Hadid to curate display at Goldsmiths’ Fair

Internationally renowned architect Zaha Hadid is to guest curate a showcase of personal highlights from this year’s Goldsmiths’ Fair, in London’s Goldsmiths’ Hall from 22 September to 5 October.

Zaha Hadid Selects will feature 20 masterpieces from the fair, a unique event showcasing the latest jewellery and silver collections from 170 leading UK-based designer-makers.

The display will be unveiled on 22 September but The Goldsmiths’ Company revealed that it will include a 22ct yellow gold ring by Jennifer Saker. Saker was one of the first jewellery designers in the UK to use rapid prototyping and aims to scale architectural forms to human proportions.

David Mills, head of communications at The Goldsmiths’ Company, said: “As well as being a phenomenal architect, Zaha Hadid is an inspirational figure in the wider world of design and style.

“We are delighted that Zaha has agreed to curate our first guest selection at Goldsmiths’ Fair, an event which celebrates the very best in contemporary British design and craftsmanship.”
