"When I was designing the original Tom Vac Chairs in aluminium -which is now rare and hard to find- that were made in vacuum formed aluminium. It is seemed amusing to me to associate it with Tom Vack, the photographer who was working on a number of my Italian projects at the time. It entertained me when Tom told me that, after the plastic version was a great success diffused all over the world, in a small bar on the lake of Como he was asked “Were you named after the chair?” "_ Ron Arad
