Design Museum Holon

This guide to the Design Museum Holon follows a mayor's improbable bet: turning a gritty industrial suburb south of Tel Aviv into a design capital by hiring Ron Arad, a furniture designer building his first-ever structure. You'll hear how ninety-nine shipping containers carried steel ribbons forged in a factory near Bergamo, and how Arad wanted the building to curve rather than turn corners, welcoming instead of looming. It traces the risk a town with no design reputation took on an untested architect.
