Zaha Hadid Architects has designed the ECHO chair for Spanish studio Nagami, 3D printing two intertwining surfaces in a single continuous process.
Produced by Nagami, a Spanish design and manufacturing studio that specialises in large-format 3D printing, ECHO is formed from two structural surfaces that twist, open, close and weave around one another along an invisible path.
Geometric echoes
Both surfaces extend from the same structural edge. One is shaped into the seat and base, while the other forms the backrest and its support, so that each acts as a geometric echo of the other. The name refers to this mirrored relationship.
Printed in one pass
ECHO is printed in one uninterrupted operation. Its form, structural performance and manufacturing method were developed together, with the geometry of the surfaces doing the work that joints and fixings would do in a conventional chair.
The result translates ZHA’s computational design language into a compact, domestic object. On a static chair, the flowing lines and structural “echo” keep a sense of movement, while the overall silhouette stays soft and grounded.
Colours and availability
The chair was unveiled in July 2026 and is offered in several colourways, including black, white and a warm caramel. It is available through Nagami.
