It catches the eye because of its simple yet funky use of everyday objects. It offers an [elongated black leather seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kouros-maghsoudi) and instead of using plain bed legs, Gilad incorporates chairs to hold up the bed. New York-based Gilad and his designs are not overly grand as he uses [simple geometric shapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sitter-chair) to transform objects. Along with the 56 Day Bed design, Gilad showcased an array of furniture designs during Milan Design Week 2012. This Israeli-born designer makes it an effort to capture everyday objects with geometry, reinventing the way furniture is used and revitalizing it to give a new purpose. In addition to his solo exhibition, Gilad's collection of work includes [mirrors, lighting fixtures and seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ilan), all with a common arch-shaped theme. Ron Gilad turns everyday objects into function but more importantly projecting the idea of contrast.
