RON RON

Introducing the perfect plaything for every home, the Ron Ron. This playful piece embodies a sense of mischief and fun, blurring the lines between furniture and animal. The Ron Ron sports a furry coat and an intriguing tail, with a name that echoes the comforting sound of purring. A companion object for the most intriguing of homes — why get a pet when you can have a Ron Ron?

Originally designed by interdisciplinary and influential fine artist Marion Baruch, the Ron Ron is a nod to our enduring fascination with design that pushes boundaries and defies expectations. This object invites interaction—you can play with it or hug it, but remember to refrain from pulling its tail, as Ron Ron is said to get annoyed!

Ron Ron's tactile appeal is undeniable. It's coated in sleek eco-fur in Black or White and its body, made of soft polyurethane foam, makes it irresistibly plush. Whether you see it as a design object or a quirky pet, the Ron Ron is the perfect addition to spaces that celebrate joy and imagination.

This "object of company", as Baruch herself described it, has been showcased at prestigious institutions like MAMBO in Bologna and the Contemporary Art Museum in Geneva. It's a cleverly zoomorphic piece that's radically Gufram, a testament to design that's not afraid to be delightfully absurd.

Marion Baruch began her studies in 1948 at the Bucharest Fine Arts Academy. The following year, she continued her studies at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem, where she attended Mordecai Ardon's course.
Four years later she held an exhibition at the Micra-Studio gallery in Tel Aviv, allowing her to obtain a scholarship through which she was able to move to Italy in 1954. There she studied painting at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome.
During the 1960's, Marion Baruch's pictorial language changed radically, steadily surpassing figurative art and striving towards a gestural approach aimed at abstraction and graphics, as well as that plastic language which would become apparent between the end of the 60's and the beginning of the 70's with a series of large-scale sculptures.
