Dezeen were commissioned to make four films to coincide with the exhibition. In this first movie the Israeli-born designer shows us around his studio in Chalk Farm, London. Watch the movie »

Join us for Dezeentalks at the Barbican’s Ron Arad: Restless exhibition in London next Thursday, 11 March.

The event will feature leading design authors talking about their books and will culminate in a discussion about the state of design book publishing today.

Speakers are:

• Sophie Lovell, author of Limited Edition (Birkhäuser)
• Max Fraser, author and publisher of London Design Guide (Spotlight Press)
• Henrietta Thompson, author of Remake it Home (Thames & Hudson)
• Alex Bec and Will Hudson, co-editors and publishers of It’s Nice That

The evening will be chaired by Dezeen editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs, author of Twenty-First Century Design (Carlton Books).

After the Dezeentalks, the authors will be signing copies of their books, which will be available for sale.

In the second of four films we made for exhibition, we asked Ron Arad (above, pictured while studying at the Architectural Association) about his upbringing in Israel and how he found himself working as a furniture designer in London. Watch the movie »

Arad has created a limited-edition polycarbonate version of his famous Well Tempered Chair specially for the exhibition. More information in our Dezeen story »
