Reimagining Everyday Design: Material Intelligence and Living Form | BODW 2025
“I used to say, ‘Boredom is the mother of creativity.’ Lately, I’ve shifted the motherhood to curiosity.” — Ron Arad, BODW 2012
Internationally acclaimed designer, architect, and artist Ron Arad returns to the BODW stage to pose more “what ifs” — and to show how curiosity drives his creative journey. Through his practice, teaching, and cross-disciplinary collaborations, Arad explores form, material, and technology, and invites others to share in that spirit of inquiry.
In this keynote, Arad will share his perspectives on design research, craftsmanship, and material innovation — themes that define his collaborations with Moroso and the experimental platform More-So.
Come curious. Ron We’ll start by taking your questions at the very beginning of the session.
