A meditation on balance, this faceted steel chair tips forward like a tottering question mark. Arad developed an appreciation for humble sheet metal early in his career, creating an influential series of experimental hand-welded furniture in his London studio. This "A.Y.O.R. (At Your Own Risk) Chair" was meticulously crafted by Arad himself. Its highly polished seams and surface give an illusion of a sculptural whole.
