After visiting the Ron Arad: Restless exhibition, I was really impressed and became a big fan of his works. I would say it was one of the most interesting exhibitions that I've visited during this year.
London based maverick Ron Arad can be described as a designer, architect and artist.
He was Head of Design Products Department at the Royal College of Art from 1997 to 2009.
I love his chair designs and especially 'Gomli'(2009) was my favourite. Gomli is a rare figurative piece, which makes good-humoured reference to his friend Antony Gormley who uses his own body as a model for his art. In contrast, Gomli represents the universal seated figure. As the physical embodiment of the 'invisible sitter', it enables Arad to design pieces to seat every individual comfortably. I felt Ron Arad is a designer who really thinks about ‘human’ through this design.
