Ron Arad's 'Last Train', commissioned by Steinmetz Diamonds, debuts at Venice Biennale tomorrow. Inspired by a man etching a message on a train window pane with a diamond ring, Arad invited several artist friends to do the same. Arad designed a diamond ring on a prototype fist, linking this to an iPad app to form a drawing tool. A series of 12 digital etchings makes up the piece.

建筑师和艺术家经常被要求创造珠宝。一个全新的设计视角总是一件好事，但珠宝设计却很棘手，因为人们普遍认为任何人都可以做到这一点。

这就是为什么罗恩阿拉德的最后一列火车，委托施泰因米茨钻石，并于明天中午在第55届威尼斯艺术双年展推出，是一个令人耳目一新的拍摄。阿拉德没有坚持珠宝只是一种装饰形式的概念，而是以伟大的珠宝公司的方式对待钻石-这是一种巨大的基础材料，可以用来制造神奇的物品。

“我的兴趣不在于钻石的价值，而在于钻石的强度，”罗恩·阿拉德(RonArad)上周启程前往威尼斯之前告诉我们。

对于“最后一班火车”，Arad与Steinmetz合作设计了一枚钻石戒指，并将其作为绘图工具。然后，他邀请了几位“朋友”，包括艺术家弗朗西斯科·克莱门特(Francesco Clemente)、克里斯蒂安·马克雷(Christian Marbury)和大卫·施格德利(David Shegley)，在一块玻璃上“抓”一枚戒指，把戒指贴在阿拉德的拳头石膏上，并由iPad应用程序控制。

当阿拉德看到一辆火车从那不勒斯车站驶出时，他发现一个人在窗玻璃上刻着一枚钻石戒指。阿拉德在谈到自己的灵感时说：“在每一次火车上，窗户上都有很多爱和恨。”“它们几乎是看不见的，但当你向它们投射光时，你就会发现一个词或一个图画。”

这枚戒指是一个大胆的钻石钉的有力十字架，带有一些不雅的审美。阿拉德解释说：“伊丽莎白一世用她的钻石戒指在瓶子上刮起了爱的誓言。”不过，它反映了这个时代的珠宝设计是偶然的。他说，我不是珠宝设计师，也不是设计师，所以戒指的目的意味着这款戒指的外观。“它是设计成十字的，而在交界处的钻石就是正在工作的钻石。”

虽然钻石的浪漫不是灵感，但阿尔德也告诉我们一个秘密。
他不仅“从来没有在火车窗口上划破”，这项工作也几乎从未向威尼斯做过，而且他几乎是一个享乐主义的受害者。
“有人决定用拳头帮助自己，”阿拉德透露。
他说：“那是在一个纸板盒子上，准备去威尼斯。
我们有三分钟的恐惧，然后我们发现它卡在大门的铁轨之间。
我们并不担心钻石，但如果没有拳头，那就不会有双年展了..."

Arad's sketch of the ring, which takes the form of a cross. 'The diamond at the junction is the one that is doing the work,' he explains

To create the elaborate drawing tool, a plaster cast of Arad's fist was made

The prototype fist, adorned with Arad's diamond ring, pokes through a black cloth which is hidden behind a glass screen, on which glowing lines are then scratched to create the artworks
