Launched during Clerkenwell Design Week and presented through summer 2025, this new exhibition explores ZHA’s approach to furniture design. Featuring drawings, models, material samples, and finished pieces, ‘Function Through Form: Furniture Designs by ZHA’ gives a behind-the-scenes look into the studio’s creative process.

Highlighting selected works from 2005 to 2025, the exhibition features diverse commissions and collaborations that have tested the boundaries of design and technology. While the works traverse multiple materials and contexts, a constant investigation of dualities unites the designs: solid and void, interior and exterior, traditional craft and emerging technologies.

Rooted in a spirit of experimentation, ‘Function Through Form’ highlights ZHA’s research-driven approach to design — where form, function, materiality, and spatial experience are in constant dialogue.

Spanning two decades, a timeline of projects reflects ZHA’s ongoing commitment to advancing multidisciplinary research, charting new developments in digital design tools, fabrication methods, and collaborations across various fields.

New projects within the exhibition include ONDA, a collaboration with Febal Casa first showcased at Fuorisalone 2025, as well as the latest iterations on recent projects, such as the TOPOS collection, a collaboration with iSiMAR first presented at Salone de Mobile 2024.

Exhibited over two floors in ZHA’s London-based gallery, ‘Function Through Form’ reveals how functional needs and innovative processes inspire new definitions, reshaping everyday interactions through furniture and the environment.
