Ron Arad
Dicecream Magazine🗿Ron Arad (born 24 April 1951) is an Israeli industrial designer, artist, and architect.
One of the most influential designers of his generation, Arad is responsible for numerous innovations in the fields of rapid manufacturing and integrated technology.
Arad was described in 1999 as a "big, gruff, bovver-booted sort of bloke; cropped hair roughly the same length as the mannered facial stubble".
His breakthrough came with his design of the Rover chair (1981), a Postmodernist furniture piece assembled from scrapyard metal and seats pulled from Rover model cars. Arad went on to produce objects for brands such as KENZO, Swarovski, and New Eye London, among others.
In 2013, he became a Royal Academician at the Royal Academy of Arts. He lives and works in London, England.
