Usually I don’t explore the graduate projects that come out of the Interior Design Departments. I guess there is always a first time for everything and this time it was Aviram Cohen Sityon who proved me wrong. Aviram, a fresh graduate out of the Holon Institute of Technology, dedicated time to creating a new kind …
Back in 2012, I shared with you my obsession with Sharon Sides. Then, a recent graduate out of the Industrial Design Department at the Bezalel Academy and now, a force to be reckoned with. About a year ago, I also wrote about her brand new design studio, which began forming it’s own identity, and now …
I’ve been following Dafi Reis Doron’s footsteps ever since I bumped into her creations, during her Royal College of Art days back in 2012. Back then, she introduced to the world her first 75% Control project. In her 75% Controlled process, Dafi transforms traditional cushion material, polyurethane foam, into a fabric-like upholstered surface. “The foam …
If there is something that makes me really happy, is when I stumble upon posts written about Israeli designers on other blogs. The other day, while browsing my Pinterest feed for the 10th time, I bumped into this brilliant lamp. My eyes wondered down, and when I saw the designer’s name, Haim Evgi, I immediately …
Veneer and paper never looked so enchanting and secretive. Studio Vayehi, the creation of designers Katharina Brand and Tzuri Gottlieb, is the one responsible for these beautiful rays of light. To be honest, these is no need for too many words, just click away and gaze at these pretty amazing lighted doodles. – www.studiovayehi.com
As I was going through my facebook stream earlier today, I bumped into Boaz Cohen’s (half of the intriguing BCXSY duo) post. Say hello to Mixed Animals. A collection that started in 2007 and now comes to life with the help of Huzi Design and their kickstarter campaign. “Why does an elephant have such a …
Let me introduce you to Amit Sturlesi and his iLLuminite gang. A while back Amit wrote me about his super minimalistic and charming lamps. I couldn’t stop staring at them for a very long time. There is something magical and innocent about them that makes you sit still and just sail away with your thoughts …
“Since I was a child, I was fascinated by Pop-up books…The excitement before turning a page, a simple pull that uncovers a whole new world. I loved how the story came to life, how the books created a fantasy world that flew off the page. The magic, the excitement, the naiveté…” The one behind these …
I have a confession to make, ever since I wrote about Bakery’s black and white Profilini, I kinda wished that Gilli Kuchik and Ran Amitai will love the design so much that they will want to continue developing the idea behind it. I guess they did, because their brand new Chair Compositions, is making me …
A while back I wrote about REDESIGN[D]. An on going collaboration between Redesign Magazine and young Israeli designers. First was Naama Hofman and her lighting object and now it’s Nir Meiri’s turn to be REDESIGN[D]. Nir is a designer who isn’t intimidated by hard work (his Marine Light and Desert Storm Light are just two …
When I shared with you Omer Polak’s Boutonnière project a while back, I mentioned that he will be talking about his designed journey on the next TEDxLausanne talk. And what do you know, he did! “What if we could smell for long distance or detect previously undetectable odors? What if we could navigate our self …
Let’s start at the end, yesterday I won a Looma Lamp in a raffle (!!!) Ok, now let’s rewind. Yesterday I went to the San Francisco Design Center, because I really wanted to hear designer Romy Randev talk about his one year venture that goes by the name Looma. Looma is a mix of colorful …
Seriously, aren’t they the most adorable Totem Corkers you’ve ever seen? About A year ago I wrote about Reddish Studio’s Corkers Zoo and I didn’t think that it could get any better than that. But I was wrong. So wrong. I know it sounds a bit crazy, but I can totally see a Disney short …
You have no idea how excited I am to share with you one of my favorite Israeli design studios. Of course I’m talking about TAYO and the two behind this bubbly studio, Tamar Kodman Garcia and Yodfat Sternreich. I wrote about these two back in 2011 but it’s been a long time coming. For the …
Alon Bitton is a jewelry designer who also likes to play around and create other objects. Lately (I’m not really sure where I first stumbled upon it) I discovered his – Jerry Can concrete lamps. Alon used the shape of well recognized plastic cans as his castaways and turned them into a molds for his …
