After a long tour in New York, Tokyo and Hong Kong, Zaha Hadid's mobile art pavilion has found its permanent home outside the �Institut du Monde Arabe� in Paris. The pavilion, commissioned by Chanel head designer Karl Lagerfeld, initially hosted an exhibition of artworks inspired by Chanel bags by 20 artists and called Mobile Art. Subsequently donated by Chanel to the IMA institute it is going to be used to promote cultural programs and to host several exhibitions and happenings promoting the best talents from the Arab countries.

The pavilion is a perfect marriage between of the iconic smooth flow of lines marking Zaha Hadid�s style and Chanel�s typical elegance. Thanks to the new digital modeling tools the unit becomes a living sculpture far away from the typical idea of �building�. Its form looks like is always turning into something different. Every step you make around the pavilion, it changes its form naturally and sensually, in stark but pleasant contrast with the rigid order and repetition of the nearby Jean Nouvel�s IMA building.
