半个世纪以来,Zeev Aram在国王大道上开设了商店,参与了60年代突然兴起的一切现代化和现代化的活动,并将那些骇人听闻的反动派斥之为伦敦明亮的年轻事物的“医院家具”。阿兰姆的同名商店已经转移了大量的当代经典作品,使许多英国买家第一次拥有马歇·布劳耶、密斯范德罗、Charlotte Perriand、阿尔瓦·阿尔托、勒·柯布西耶等作品的机会。仿效者已经效仿,但阿兰姆作为当代家具的去处,越来越多地吸引了建筑师、设计师和说明家。1991,该公司也在Hampstead开业,Zeev的孩子丹尼尔和鲁思参与了家族生意。阿兰姆拥有Eileen Gray设计的全球许可证也帮助该公司保持在行业的前列。阿兰姆现在是科凡特花园生活的中流砥柱,在1973搬迁到基恩街,然后在1999的隔壁大仓库。正是这座五层楼的建筑充满了创新和不熟悉——这将是公司半个世纪庆典的焦点。
这个空间已经被改造成画廊和图书馆,由超过五十个领先的当代创造性思维的选择组成,从Edward Barber和Jay Osgerby到Richard Rogers,扎哈·哈迪德和Thomas Heatherwick,到我们自己的主编Tony Chambers和编辑在。大艾玛奥凯利和亨丽埃塔汤普森。每个人都选择关键的故事来讲述现代设计的故事,提供给任何人走出街道浏览。周年纪念馆是伴随着一个展览,深入了解公司的历史和档案。Zeev Aram自己收藏的家具正在做一个罕见的公开展示,以及像布鲁尔的“Wasyy”椅子,在20世纪60年代第一次被阿兰姆带到英国,再加上为早期庆祝活动创造的特殊物品和设计。
宇宙磁力艺术的倍数将只在阿拉姆商店出售。五十年过去了,阿拉姆仍然有着永恒的魅力。
Founder Zeev Aram's eponymous store has shifted truckloads of contemporary classics, giving many British buyers their first chance to own works by the likes of Marcel Breuer, Mies van der Rohe, Charlotte Perriand, Alvar Aalto, Le Corbusier and many more. Photography: Amandine Alessandra

Aram is a mainstay of Covent Garden life, having relocated to Kean Street in 1973 and then to the sizeable warehouse next door in 1999. It's this five-storey building - chock full of the innovative and unfamiliar - that is the focus of the company's half-century celebrations. Photography: Amandine Alessandra

The company is also launching a unique installation piece developed by the late artist and poet Li Yuan-Chia during a stint at Aram in the mid-1960s. Photography: Amandine Alessandra
The original versions of several iconic designs are on show, including the 1928 'LC4' chaise lounge by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Charlotte Perriand, for Cassina

The first floor, meanwhile, features a library especially created for the celebrations, made up of choice selections from over fifty leading contemporary creative minds, ranging from Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby to Richard Rogers, Zaha Hadid and Thomas Heatherwick. Photography: Jessica Klingelfuss
Each has selected key books that tell the story of modern design, offering them up for anyone to step off the street and browse. Photography: Amandine Alessandra
Designer Thomas Heatherwick chose a trio of tomes by British-born American illustrator and writer David Macaulay: 'Underground', 'City' and 'Cathedral'. Photography: Jessica Klingelfuss
Each book is accompanied by a slip with a personal anecdote about the selection. Italian designer Martino Gamper picked 'The Craftsman Builder' by Art Boericke and Barry Shapiro. Photography: Jessica Klingelfuss
