Ron Arad – Restless

Last month whilst in London we got the chance to visit the Barbican Art Gallery and see the Ron Arad – Restless exhibition.

The exhibition explores thirty years of his work including the early products built from readymade items through to those generated using 3d computer technology.

The exhibition focuses on  showing the process of  his products development from initial idea and fabrication to finished design.

More images can be seen following the link Exhibition images.

The show finishes this Sunday, if your in London it is well worth going to see it.
