Ron Arad was born in Tel Aviv in 1951. The son of a painter mother and a photographer father, he studied at the Jerusalem Academy of Art. In 1974 he settled in London, where he joined the Architectural Association.
He approached the world of art and culture with an interest in design and the new aesthetics of materials.
Arad's exploration of the limits and possibilities of materials, particularly metals and composites, and his radical conception of the form and structure of objects and buildings have placed him at the forefront of contemporary design and architecture.
All his products have a strong, sensual beauty.
Ron Arad has exhibited his work in the world's most prestigious galleries and art museums, including the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the Victoria & Albert in London, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and MoMa in NY and the Vitra Design Museum in Germany.
