The Matrizia sofa is inspired by an old mattress found in New York. Can you still find treasures on the streets?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ron Arad:<\/strong>&nbsp;There are still quite a lot of pretty things out there. Most of which could be hung in a gallery and in fact are much more beautiful than anything we could invent in a studio. What\u2019s changed is that we no longer pay attention. We\u2019ve got used to designers changing everything for us. The innocence has gone\u2026 we just wait for it to land on us. We look at things with the burden and privilege of knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You have created outdoor furniture for companies like Magis, Moroso and Vitra. Aside from using materials that can adapt to changing seasons, is there a different approach to creating a house chair<\/strong> <strong>and a garden chair?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be honest, I don\u2019t bother too much with those issues. I don\u2019t really read the briefs given by the brands either. For example, I\u2019m thrilled to discover these new waterproof fabrics as a consumer, but in my work I often end up creating my own material anyway. In the end, what matters isn\u2019t the method but the result. In my case, I\u2019d say that walking outside in the rain will give better results than asking me to do something by thinking about the rain. Even more importantly, I don\u2019t want to create for the outside what already exists for the inside. With the Tea Pavilion, we wanted to make sure we didn\u2019t lose the link with the environment. Even if the main function of a shelter is to keep out the elements, the final shape has to be fluid enough that we still feel outside, and not in a bubble isolated from everything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a4696f85bf68&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a4696f85bf68\" class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large size-medium-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"660\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/ron-arad5-1.jpg-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-535810\"\/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Next Whisky Bar at Watergate Hotel by Ron Arad.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>We see this permeability of space with other architects like Norman Foster. Is it an obsession of our times?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of our times, I\u2019m not sure. One of mine, though, for sure! Not many people know it, but my greatest architectural pride is the Holon Design Museum in Israel. A few weeks before it opened, a rabbi came to hang a mezuzah [the mezuzah contains biblical scriptures and denotes the passage from outside to inside] to bless the building. All public buildings in the country have one. Apart from the fact I am not religious, I tried to explain to him how his gesture would ruin the very concept of architecture, which has been conceived so that you cannot delimit the transition between interior and exterior. He spent two hours looking for somewhere to attach the mezuzah, before giving up. The Holon Design Museum is thus the only building in the country without one\u2026 I\u2019m very honoured!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You are an architect and a furniture designer, but you also create one-off collector\u2019s piece. A chair that costs than 10,000 euros, we\u2019d avoid putting that outside, even maybe sitting on it\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Personally, I like objects that age with time\u2026 but it\u2019s true that most collectors will avoid putting a valuable piece out in the snow, even if it was made for that. Design pieces, especially limited editions, are surplus. When you\u2019re hungry, you eat what you find. When you\u2019re not hungry, you look for recipes and spices, you work with the textures. Culture is the very definition of luxury. And the value increases if it doesn\u2019t work. One day, Rolf Fehlbaum, son of the founders of Vitra, came to give a lecture to my students. He told them: \u201c<em>As an industrialist I am interested in success, as a collector I am interested in failure<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sadly, for you most of your pieces are a success! The MT Rocker went down a storm at a Hong Kong auction earlier this year, selling for 135,000 euros. Do you follow the prices of your pieces?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not really. The creative process of designers often involves serious production costs, and sometimes I\u2019m really under pressure to make things that don\u2019t cost so much, to avoid taking too much risk. Obviously, I don\u2019t pay any attention.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a4696f85c434&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a4696f85c434\" class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large size-medium-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2560\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/ron-arad3-1.jpg-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-535814\"\/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Design Museum Holon by Ron Arad.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interview with designer Ron Arad Num\u00e9ro: One of your first pieces, the Rover Chair was [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/en\/art-design\/design-en\/ron-arad-design-art-interview\/\">Read More&#8230;<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> from Interview with Ron Arad, the exuberant, atypical Israeli designer<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":535803,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[76,26,79],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-535818","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-art-design","category-design","category-design-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Interview with designer Ron Arad<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Ron Arad is without a doubt one of the most important figures in\u00a0design art.
