Christmas Bauble design for UK charity Kids Company auction

Designed for the Matthew Williamson curated Christmas Tree at Aqua Shard, the Christmas Bauble by Zaha Hadid is part of the charity auction for Kids Company. Founded in 1996, Kids Company provides practical, emotional and educational support to vulnerable inner-city children.  

A reinterpretation of her architectural research, the design by Zaha Hadid is a contemporary representation of the traditional Christmas Bauble. Manufactured using rapid prototyping technology, the piece explores digital design and fabrication techniques employed in architecture and design.

Each of the Matthew Williamson curated Christmas Tree baubles will be displayed on the Aqua Shard Christmas tree until 31 December and can be viewed at http://bit.ly/MWKidsCoAuction

Auction bids can be placed at http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/aquashard until 22nd December. 100% of every sale will go to Kids Company.
