During his career, he has always made his own way and created his unique character through experiments with materials and innovative manufacturing techniques. As a professor of "Design Products" at the Royal Academy in London, he played a significant role in which he influenced a new generation of designers and artists.
Arad has designed products for a number of the major companies in the design industry, but he also makes unique and limited studio objects.
