Designer Ron Arad has created bespoke seating for his overhaul of the hotel in Washington DC made famous by the Watergate scandal.
Arad's new designs were produced by Italian furniture brand Moroso for the restaurant at the Watergate Hotel, which reopened last month after extensive renovations.

The complex became famous as the stage for the Watergate political scandal, which led to the resignation of US president Richard Nixon in 1974.
It was built by Italian architect Luigi Moretti between 1960 and 1965, and features curving walls that create fluid public spaces.
The design features a looped cushion that forms both the seat and backrest "Arad's concept was to honour the context while creating something complementary and new, enhancing Moretti's original curves with some of his own," said Moroso.
The Watergate Chair is a variation of Arad's Victoria and Albert collection of seating, first designed for Moroso in 2000.

A continuous cushioned band loops around to form both the flat seat and curved back, with upholstery available in a range of bright colours.
