Ron Arad, 2002

 

Born in Tel Aviv, Ron Arad studied at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem, and at the Architectural Association in London. In 1981 he opened the office 'One Off Ltd.' in London, and began to handcraft unconventional furnishings made mostly out of welded steel sheeting with distinctive sculptural forms.  Since 1997 he has held a professorship for furniture design and industrial design at the Royal College of Art in London.  His design for 'Bad' Tempered Chair dates back to the legendary 'Well' Tempered Chair,  marking the beginning of a collaboration between Arad and Vitra.  Largely identical to the original model (but instead of being made of sheet metal), this chair is manufactured from a newly developed plastic that considerably improves the chair's practical usefulness. Materials: glass and carbon fiber laminate.
