“Probably our favourite piece. It’s easy to read as a versatile object – you can easily imagine different configurations, but the suppleness provided by the torsion springs is a surprise you enjoy only when you attempt to sit on it” (Ron Arad in: M. Collings, Ron Arad Talks to Matthew Collings, London 2004, p. 107).
“This chair is as straightforward as its name: one box, four sections, three hinges, four movements. The hinges are set on a torsion bar that provides a springy, surprisingly bouncy action” (Ron Arad: No Discipline, exhibition catalogue, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, The MoMA, New York, 2008/9, p. 80).
