Ron Arad is Releasing the 'Big Easy' Chair in Limited-Edition Resin
Kanesa David — November 8, 2022 — Art & Design
Ron Arad has unveiled six new editions of his iconic ‘Big Easy’ chair in vibrantly colored resin. In 1988, Arad created the ‘Big Easy’ chair, which soon became one of his most iconic designs. The Italian company Moroso went on to commercially make their overstuffed armchair shape using new and inventive materials. In collaboration with Opera's creator Gilles Dyan, the Big Easy is now available in solid resin with eight chairs per six individual colors.
“The gallery has always been a longtime supporter of Ron Arad’s work,” Dyan said. We are pleased to start an exclusive collaboration with him through a series of design pieces made exclusively of clear resin, reinterpreting some of his most iconic works.”
The limited edition Opera Chairs by Arad will debut at Salon Art + Design at The Armory on November 10 and remain on display until November 12.
