Wonder Wall The seven cabinets of the Wonder Wall were conceived as a stage for mini-exhibitions within Selfridges' Wonder Room. Opening with an installation by architect Zaha Hadid, the series has included; couture dolls by Dutch designers Viktor & Rolf; Unholy Relics, an eclectic anthology of objects and oddities that invite us to reflect on the meaning of the souvenir or relic from the collection of Trevor Beattie; and Natural History, a series of jewellery and objects by four young designers with very different takes on nature and artifice at a time when our relationship to the natural world is in crisis.

The first Wonderwall by architect Zaha Hadid reflects her role as a pioneer in linking art with architecture. The design of the perspex panels across the six cabinets derives from her seminal London painting Malevich's Tektonik (1976-77) and explores inspirational themes including natural forces such as fluidity, gravity & elasticity.
