Image description

The forward pitch and apostrophe-shaped profile obscure its function, yet when sat upon, this chair assumes a conventional upright angle. Ron Arad treated it more as sculpture. The work is about balance, about creating and manipulating a hollow volume. Its fabrication relies on labor-intensive hand work: sheets of stainless steel are welded together, shaped, and beaten with a rubber hammer. Ultimately, the chair was re-polished, disguising the individual stainless steel welds to give the impression of a single, homogenous volume.
