His international reputation began in the 70s with the Rover armchairs, directly inspired by the car of the same name. He went on to win over the design world with furniture such as the Tom Vac chair (1997) and the Bookworm shelf (1993). His creations are highly original, with unusual lines.
Biography
Ron Arad was born in Israel in 1951. He studied at the Jerusalem Academy of Art, then continued his studies in London at the Architectural Association School. He founded his first design studio in 1981. Arad has always appreciated originality; his works reflect his boldness. His forms are elliptical, and he favors aesthetics over practicality. Free and unconstrained, he seduces the design world with works that are each more surprising than the last. His creations are produced both in limited series and on an industrial scale. To achieve this, he works with brands such as Vitra, Kartell and Alessi. In 2009, the Centre Pompidou in Paris devoted a retrospective to his most famous pieces, including the Kenzo perfume bottle.
