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.
