So much depends upon a red coffee table.

Zaha Hadid is one of the most celebrated architects in the modern world. She has designed deconstructivist masterpieces like ... er ... well there was that ski jump, and uh ... wasn't there a fire station in Germany somewhere?...

All right, well even though hardly anything she's designed has actually been built she's still won plenty of awards for her pretty pictures including the field of architecture's highest honor, the Pritzker Prize.

Now she's gone and designed this ugly red coffee table:

It's shiny. It's plastic. It's bright, primary red. And it's fucking tilted.

I'd hate to see the apartment where something like this would belong; in my nightmares I picture gleaming white walls covered in Keith Haring prints.

Maybe she should stick to paper. And ski jumps.
