Title: Rover - chair [Go to resource]
Description: This chair was made in London by the well-known designer Ron Arad. Arad is Israeli by birth but moved to London as a student and has lived and worked in the city ever since. In 1981 he set up his design company, ?One Off?, in Chalk Farm, north London and the Rover chair was the first object he produced. It is made from reclaimed objects; the seat comes from a Rover 2000 car, which was reclaimed from a scrap yard, and the legs are formed from pieces of scaffolding. This particular example was owned by a young advertising executive who lived in a small townhouse in Kilburn, which he had fitted out by the architect, James Lambert in the mid-1990s. The chair was used in his main living space, an open-plan room which included a dining and kitchen area and was furnished with twentieth-century design classics.
