Begun in 1988, Ron Arad's Volume series evolved from his exploration of the opposing concepts of empty and full, soft and hard, light and heavy. Using sheet steel cut from a flat pattern and beaten and welded by hand, the Big Easy represented a complete formal and aesthetic departure from Arad's earlier experiments and established a highly idiosyncratic design language. Dispensing with the illusion of comfort, and proposing instead the hazy hand-beaten impression of a chair, the Big Easy Mixed is delineated by free-hand seams that contain the alternating reflecting and opaque surfaces, ensuring that no two chairs are alike.
