PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

VASE « RINGOLETTO » CA/2007 

RON ARAD’S RINGOLETTO VASE, IS A STRIKING EXAMPLE OF HIS BOLD, AVANT-GARDE APPROACH TO DESIGN. KNOWN FOR BLENDING ART, ARCHITECTURE, AND INDUSTRIAL DESIGN, ARAD BRINGS A SENSE OF PLAYFULNESS AND FLUIDITY TO THIS PIECE. THE RINGOLETTO VASE IS MADE OF PORCELAIN, STEEL AND FEATURES A DYNAMIC, TWISTED FORM THAT CHALLENGES THE TRADITIONAL VASE STRUCTURE. ITS ORGANIC, SCULPTURAL SHAPE EVOKES MOVEMENT, ALMOST AS IF THE STEEL HAS BEEN CAUGHT MID-TWIST, EMPHASIZING ARAD’S FASCINATION WITH FORM AND MATERIAL MANIPULATION. THE REFLECTIVE SURFACE ENHANCES ITS FUTURISTIC AND MINIMALIST AESTHETIC, ALIGNING WITH THE RADICAL AND INNOVATIVE THEMES OFTEN PRESENT IN HIS WORK. THIS PIECE BALANCES FUNCTIONALITY WITH A STRONG ARTISTIC STATEMENT, PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES OF CONVENTIONAL DESIGN.
