It's not all about the architecture. Norman Foster does yachts, Richard Meier is designing sweaters, Frank Gehry Jewelry, and Zaha Hadid has a line of housewares. Cond� Nast discusses | Slideshow
British architect Norman Foster is designing a series of $40 million luxury yachts for U.K. firm YachtPlus. The sleekly designed vessels will sleep up to 18 people and come with floor-to-ceiling windows on the main and upper decks.
Gehry has created six lines for Tiffany, with pieces that range in price from $125 to more than $5,000. Called Torque, Fish, Orchid, Fold, Equus, and Axis, they feature the same sharp angles and organic curves found in Gehry�s architectural designs.
Richard Meier designed two sweaters for the spring collection of New York fashion label Lutz & Patmos�a white buttonless cardigan for men and a white thigh-length belted sweater for women. �They�re very simple and very comfortable,� says Meier, a Pritzker Prize-winning designer.
Hadid created a flower vase and a tea and coffee set for Italian kitchenware company Alessi. The Crevasse vase is made from stainless steel and stands about 15 inches high. The coffee and tea set includes a silver teapot, coffee pot, milk jug, sugar bowl, and tray.
