When one’s name is known far beyond one’s vocation, you know you’re dealing with a legend. Zaha Hadid is one such person, and her death in March this year has the world (still) mourning her loss. Known mainly for her extravagant parametric and neo-futurist designs (one need only look to the Guangzhou Opera House for an example), she has also dabbled in furniture, shoe design, jewelry and other creative domains. To honor her contributions to the artistic world, the Masterpiece London design fair 2016 will commemorate her works through the exhibition of some of her lesser-known projects.

Curated by Francis Sultana, CEO of David Gill Gallery, London Masterpiece will narrate her life’s story. Expect pieces from Hadid’s Liquid Glacial furniture collection (above), personal items, sketches, paintings and photographs to fashion pieces, such as her United Nude Nova shoes and her reinterpretation of the Louis Vuitton “Icone bag.” Her drafting tools will also make an appearance – even seemingly mundane objects are endowed with great importance when they belong to an expert.

Masterpiece London is on now till to July 6 at the Royal Hospital in London’s chic Chelsea district. General admission tickets will set one back £28 (approximately $37).
