Monaco–Opera Gallery in Monaco is pleased to present Ron Arad, from 1992 to 2026, a solo exhibition surveying more than three decades of work by the designer and artist Ron Arad. On view from 27 April to 28 May 2026, and presented in conjunction with Monaco Art Week (27 April – 1 May 2026), the exhibition brings together a selection of Arad’s most emblematic works, tracing the evolution of his sculptural language from the early 1990s to the present day.
Renowned for his radical and experimental approach to design and materials, Arad continues to challenge the boundaries between art, architecture, and industrial design. His work is characterised by fluid forms, an innovative use of metal and technology, and a playful yet rigorous engagement with structure, movement, and materiality.
The exhibition features several of Arad’s most celebrated works, including the stainless steel corweave piece Linguine (2020) that blends sculpture and furniture; the versatile polished stainless steel piece Good ping pong dining table (2023); iterations of his iconic Big easy armchair, cast in both crystalline resin and steel; Minimalistic Rodin’s thinker (2022), a contemporary homage that transforms the historic pose into a dynamic design object and contemplative seat; and This mortal coil (large) (1992), an elegant spiral bookshelf conceived as a continuous, flowing structure. Together with additional works spanning more than three decades, the presentation underscores Arad’s ongoing exploration of the relationship between function and sculpture.
“Ron Arad is one of the most visionary figures in contemporary design, a creator who has continuously redefined the relationship between form, material, and function,” said Federica Beretta, Global Director of Opera Gallery. “This exhibition offers a unique opportunity to experience the evolution of his practice over more than thirty years, bringing together major works that have shaped the language of collectible design while revealing the bold experimentation that continues to drive his work today.”
Ron Arad, from 1992 to 2026 highlights the designer’s enduring influence on contemporary design and his singular ability to merge industrial processes with expressive, sculptural experimentation.
As part of Art Monte-Carlo, a talk titled When Design Becomes Art — and Art Becomes Furniture will take place on 30 April at the Grimaldi Forum, where Ron Arad will be in conversation with Federica Beretta, Opera Gallery’s Global Director.
