Ron Arad Eco-Political Post
So how many of you knew Ron Arad is the designer of the Kartell Bookworm? Raise your hand. Me, me, me! Check out what this United Kingdom based, Israeli designer has come up with most recently. He calls it "Oh, the Farmer and the Cowman Should be Friends." You have to sing the song in your head to get it. You know the song, its from Oklahoma! My brother Adam was in this production in grade school. It talks about the farmers' desire to protect their crops with fences while the cowmen prefer the freedom to move cattle over a wide open range. SO. Is Arad's states of the union bookshelf a peace plea? Is it a general statement encouraging cooperation? Is it supposed to remind us of the days when cows roamed grassy fields and ate grass? I like the latter of the three.
