Constantly defying categorisation by curators and critics, renowned designer Ron Arad never shies away from challenging the traditions and conventions of the old ways. Take a seat and check out some of his aesthetically redefining designs to rest our derriere in ultimate comfort and luxury.
1. “Ripple” chair for Moroso
Made of: Polished and natural injection-moulded thermoplastic. Its seat shell is made of polypropylene while its legs are comprised of chrome finish or stainless steel, with white or black matt varnish.
Designed to: Evoke the fluidity of sand when washed over by waves of the ocean through its circular aperture of the seat, the lightness and softness of its lines.
Perfect for: Indoor and outdoor use as it is conveniently stackable (up to four).
2. “Do Lo Res” sofa for Moroso
Made of: Different-density polyurethane foam with several soft cubic and rectangular upholstered units of varying heights. The units are stiffer at the bottom and softer at the top to ensure structural stability and user comfort.

3. “Clover” armchair for Driade
