Ron Arad's Restless at the Barbican is a great exhibition which shows how a person’s curiosity in design forms can create elegant chairs to contemporary homes and shopping centres. One thing I noticed at the exhibition is how much of a perfectionist Ron Arad is. One of the exhibition pieces was a chair under development and it was covered with Ron Arad’s notes on how to improve the chairs form, these notes went into quite a lot of detailing noticing very small areas of improvement. A lot of the forms created were very natural and were covered with a chrome finish. This was complimented with the use of the LED lighting displays around the exhibition as the light highlighted the curves and the forms. My favourite piece at the exhibition was the chair called Voiding which is in the image at the bottom of this post. This chair was incredible beautiful its chrome orange sides were complimented by the dark top surface and when the light hit the curved sides it almost looked like a solar flare or a highly polished shell.
