Echoes

I choose this work of art, is the cover record of echoes by the one of my favourite bands, Pink Floyd. These discs join the best of Pink Floyd, and the cover join element from all theirs albums, you can see the hammers from the album The Wall, the burnt man from the album Wish You Were Here, between others.

This work of art I saw for first time when my cousin’s cousin shows me the disc, that happened at 2 years ago. I like too much this album and I like the cover too.

This album is especial because always I listen Pink Floyd, at my father likes Pink Floyd too and when I was child I remember all weekend listen Pink Floyd with my dad, this things make me remember my childhood, it’s a little nostalgic, but I like it

Designer

I choose this designer because I like his work, his name is Ron Arad. He born in 1951 in Tel Aviv, he is an industrial designer, artist and architect. He went to the Art Academy of Jerusalem between 1971 and 1973 and he went to the architectonic association of London between 1974 and 1979. He has make furniture and light design to many companies like Alessi, Vitra, Flos, Artemide and Kartell.

His most famous works are in many museum’s collection, like, museum of Metropolitan Art of New York, Georges Pompidou Center in Paris, Victoria and Albert Museum of London y Vitra Design Museum of Germany.

Now he is the head of product design at the Royal University of the Arts.

I like his work because he always makes experiments with the materials, he looks new shape with different materials. He to take advantage of the qualities of the materials.

These are some his work’s pieces, first this chair I like it because he use a flexible materials to make it,

and this one (it’s a kind of couch) I like its shape, here use a solid materials like steel to make it, it’s a little cold but it’s a great couch.

Ron Arad is a very smart designer.
