Designed in 1994, the D-Sofa is one of Ron Arad's most emblematic creations. At the crossroads of design, architecture and sculpture, it displays its structure in a fluid movement of continuous curves, captivating with its enveloping monumentality and surprising visual lightness.

In an edition of 20, complemented by 5 artist's proofs, our piece strongly illustrates Ron Arad's technical mastery and visionary approach.

The rigor of the polished steel marries the freedom of the design, making this seat a work in its own right, where function, abstraction and movement are obviously united.

We would like to thank the Ron Arad Studio for its assistance with the cataloguing of this lot.
