Rod Arad Awarded the London Design Medal

Today marks the halfway point of the currently-running London Design Festival, and now the annual even has crowned its king. At a ceremony in the crypt of St. Paul’s Cathedral, the fest’s top prize, the London Design Medal, was awarded to Ron Arad. “Thank you London,” the designer/architect said at the event, “I couldn’t imagine doing whatever I’m doing anywhere else in the world.” Arad now joins the ranks of the likes of Marc Newson and Zaha Hadid, winners from previous years.
