Comprising seven of his newest works, Ron Arad’s Bodyguards displays the designer’s continued fascination with the unconventional possibilities of materials. Using highly reflective, mirror-polished aluminium, Bodyguards is a collection of warped, gravity-defiant structures that find function in the form of sculptures, swivelling chairs, chaise longues and shelving. Since first showing at Dolce and Gabbana during the Milan Design Week, the collection is now being hosted by the Friedman Benda gallery in New York.
