“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.
