The famous Chanel Pavilion of Arts, designed by Zaha Hadid, started travelling around the world in March 2008 – passed through Hong Kong, Tokyo and New York – and now it has a final destination: Paris. An absolute success among fashionistas and artists, the pavilion was given as a gift to Arab World Institute, which aims to transform the platform into a contemporary art center, to be reopened in March 2011.
* With the economic crisis that showed up in 2009, plans for the pavilion to pass through Los Angeles, London and Moscow have been canceled. Those visiting Paris will have the chance to calmly see the result of a partnership between Karl Lagerfeld and Zaha Hadid. By the way, the art world will have even more visibility in the city. Viva!
