Hello, my sweet breakers! It’s been six months since my last post. By now, I’m not even sure if any of you are even out there… BUT, after thinking about the things I love most in my life, DesignBreak and the Israeli design scene, are way up on that list and so, I decided to …
“How do you create an entirely new and exciting food experience for foodies who believe they’ve already seen it all?” For the team of Carmel wineries (one of the largest and oldest wineries in Israel) the answer was simple. They call it FOODOGRAPHY. “A series of unique and unforgettable live dining events, that doubled as …
Whenever I receive an email from one of Shenkar College‘s textile design graduates, my heart skips a beat. I have such a soft spot for this wonderful department… Anyways, I’m only telling you this because when Mia Danieli, the one behind Mia Mélange, wrote me about her new collections, I wasn’t expecting to see ceramic …
Sometime being patient pays off. At least that’s what I keep on telling myself, whenever I see a graduate project that I can’t take my eyes off. At these moments I wish the student would already be shop ready with lots of stuff I can choose from and just pay. Yeah, I know, I need …
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 …
The closest people in my life keep telling me that I make all kinds of face expressions when I talk. They say that I’m super easy to read, thanks to my incriminating face expressions. And then? Then came Dima Gurevich, with his super adorable mugs. I know that his mugs don’t have the cutest expression …
When you fall in love with a designer, you always re-visit his kingdom in hoping to find new treasures. At least that’s how I roll. I’ve been following Yaara Landau-Katz’s (aka studio ONEandMANY) design steps since I first stumbled upon her graduation project back in 2012. Yaara was an industrial design student, who simply enjoyed …
Soon we will be moving to our new apartment. I’m sure it’s gonna take a little while to adjust but if there is one thing I’m really excited about is the possibilities this move hold when it come to decoration. I’m sure you gonna hear a lot about my wish list but first, let’s talk …
When an industrial designer teams up with an illustrator it’s twice the fun! Rona Meyuchas, the Israeli power house behind Kukka, teamed up with the young British illustrator Will Haywood and together they created a world of bold graphics and yummy colors. Their tube trays and tea towels brought so much joy to my computer …
Monolith is the latest creation of Industrial designer, Shira Keret. I’m not really sure what it is but since I moved to San Francisco, I’m not intimidated by nature. And trust me when I say that for a very long time I didn’t want to be around it. Anyways, the minute I stumbled upon Shira’s …
Something in the way Julia Dely illustrates reminds me of my favorite childhood books. It’s not that easy to take you back in time with only an illustration… Times in which everything was Innocent and not so complicated. Times in which all you had to do is decide if you want to play …
Next week I’ll visit the “If There is No Bread, Let Them Eat Cake” exhibition. This exhibition examines the fine line between culinary, art and design. I’ll tell you much more after I see it all but until then, I have no choice but to share with you Shira Barzilay’s interpretation to this …
I once tried to paint on the cute Munny by KidRobot. Trust me when I say that it was far from pretty! I’m only sharing with you this dark little detail because I bumped into the illustrated world of Lena Hanzel and I felt like I found someone who can do an awesome …
When you know, you know! The minute I stumbled upon Yaara Landau’s ceramic zone, at the Shenkar College graduate show, I knew that I’m on to something really special. So special, that I’ll be waiting for the mass production version! Yaara’s ability to create a unified formal language, while playing with different compositions, …
For a moment I felt like it’s the Nir Meiri blog ;) Maybe the fact that I met Nir for the first time after a long email affair, confused me. Anyways, the fact of the matter is that I’m one of Nir’s biggest fans. You can refresh your memory here, here oh and …
