It feels like forever since I last wrote about Meirav Barzilay and it’s time to fix that! In her latest Dübel Collection, Meirav “celebrates forgotten simplicity and highlights the often overlooked wall plug. The wooden wall plug becomes the center of focus and lays out the guidelines for the design and aesthetic of the whole …
Don’t worry, I’m not one of those who talks about Christmas in September. In fact, I don’t even celebrate Christmas. BUT… When Elisheva Manekin, the one behind Hook n’ Loop, wrote me and shared with me this geometric ornament, I couldn’t look away. In fact, I want it and I want it now. And no, …
I first wrote about Shahar Kagan and his PlasticLab back in 2010. Back then he was a brand new graduate, and now… Three years have gone by and this guy is still playing with research, design, recycling and everything in between. The Fossil Project is Shahar’s newest project, which deals with paint leftovers and giving …
Have you ever owned a dog? Or maybe you have one now? I’m one of those who never had a pet in their lives. To be honest, to this day, I’m a bit scared of dogs. So let’s all treat this dog friendly post as a therapy post. OK? Hosting Hounds is Tom Bendkovsky’s graduation …
When it comes to super sweet and tiny creatures, I’m such a softy. So… When I bumped into David Budzik’s wooden creatures, I immediately knew, I had to share them with you. Apparently David has a thing for working with wood and he won me over with these tiny creatures and their super adorable face …
About two years ago, one Rachel Boxnboim, graduated out of the Bezalel Academy. In her graduation project, that goes by the name Alice, Rachel created ceramic teaware out of fabric molds. Fast forward to 2013 and the same Alice ceramics are being sold at Anthropologie (!!!) The other day while I was on my weekly …
It seems like so many people around me know how to create an embroidery. And me? I’m so not good at it! To be honest, I’m such a terrible crafter. When I first stumbled upon Danielle Aiber’s Embroidered furniture I fell in love with the color combination of the threads and then… I fell in …
Nir Meiri is a practical guy! When he designs, he always thinks about the big picture. For instance, when he designed his Coconut and Han table lamps, he made sure there was be an extra defined space for you to leave your small but super important belongings. Smart? Of course! Not only is Nir practical, …
Usually industrial designers that I talk to say that they like to stick to their initial sketches and don’t like to be surprised side effects of materials. And then came Mishmaacool (aka Ohad Benit) and Tag.me.not (aka Atar Brosh) and together they created the 50% Control Stool. The two decided to challenge themselves and began …
It’s time to check in with David and Anat Shefa and their Kozo Lamps! I first wrote about the Kozo family back in 2009. Yep, it’s been too long. Since then a lot has changed. Now you can find lots of Kozos in a brand new and shiny home. I don’t think that I need …
When Albi Serfaty shared with me his “Rose Li” collection of light fixtures, I was sure I was going to be reading about how much this guy loves flamingos and how influenced he was by their royal gestures. BUT as you can imagine, I was dead wrong. Albi, the Mr. of Ayala Serfaty …
Noam Tabenkin’s Furniture Hospital was one of my favorite graduate projects back in 2010. When I realized that from acting the role of Dr. Furniture she now draws and makes her very own prints for her rescued furniture, I fell even deeper. Usually you won’t except someone to corrupt a perfectly fine piece …
I really do love supporting kickstarter campaigns by Israeli designer. I mean, duh! That’s why when Studio Armadillo shared with me it’s Time Fold project I knew I had to spread the world. Not too many Israeli designers care to design Judaica and yet, Hadas Kruk and Anat Stein, the two behind the …
There were three: the Flor Chair, the Doo Chair and the Echo Chair. And now, almost a year later, you can see the extended family. Last year I had a One on One Break with Sharon Sides, where she shared with me the story behind her graduate project aka STUMPS (which deals with …
I’m pretty sure that most of you (as am I) aren’t in Tel Aviv at the moment BUT that doesn’t mean that I don’t wish that I could be there. I wish only to visit the most anticipated and extra special Fresh Design fair, the young brother of the well known Fresh Paint. …
