Matthew Collings

Ron Arad

This book gives readers an insight into the work of one of the world's most successful contemporary designers, Ron Arad. In a long conversation with art critic Matthew Collings, Arad talks about how his career has unfolded and the elements it now encompasses: product and furniture design, architecture, public sculpture and exhibitions. As well as revealing both the thinking and stories behind many of Arad's designs and projects, this discussion also touches on whether art and design can really mix, the nature of the client-designer relationship, how workshop projects feed designs for mass-production, the fun of working both with simple materials and cutting-edge technology, what makes good architecture, and refusing to decide whether you're a designer or an architect. Illustrated with over 350 images of his work (including specially commissioned pictures by Tom Vack) Ron Arad talks with Matthew Collings is the most complete overview of Arad's career to date.
