The work, known as the Volu Dining Pavilion, will be auctioned by Hermitage Fine Art on 8 April at the Hôtel Métropole, as part of a three-day series of sales dedicated to art, design, jewellery and rare objects.
Designed shortly before the architect’s death in 2016, the pavilion was produced in a very limited edition in collaboration with architect Patrik Schumacher.
Spanning around 20 square metres, the structure features Zaha Hadid’s signature fluid and sculptural style, made up of laser-cut geometric elements assembled on a steel frame.
A matching table and benches in American oak are also included.
Zaha Hadid, one of the most influential architects of her generation, was the first woman to receive the Pritzker Architecture Prize and the RIBA Gold Medal.
Her work includes iconic projects such as the London Aquatics Centre, the MAXXI Museum in Rome and the Heydar Aliyev Center in Baku.
Her influence can also be seen in Monaco, notably through the ongoing redevelopment of the Schuylkill building.
The pavilion is expected to attract strong interest from collectors and design enthusiasts when it goes up for auction on Wednesday.
