Exhibition Break | Casa 09 Tel Aviv | Created from Product

Next week you will be able to visit “Created from Product”. An exhibition that displays the work of Israeli designers which deals with the daily difficulty of producing ideas commercially. The design process becomes a finished product: a clothespin, a plastic bag or a metal ladle, the raw material produced a new product, fresh and intriguing.
The curator of the exhibition is the talented Iris Zohar.
Thanks to Iris you can have a sneak preview: Monkey Business | Raviv Lifshitz | Studio Junktion | Studio Groovy

Noa Gilad | Pearls Story

Noa says that as a child she was drawn to her grandma jewelries and was especially fascinated with the pearls she wore. When she started looking for an inspiration she found one! Her grandma was the beginning of her line…
I just love the way Noa manages to add a new flavor to the typical pearl Jewelry and she never even studied Jewelry design. I can’t wait for her next collection!

  • Take It Easy
  • Take It Easy
  • Cookie Surprise
I just adore Efrat’s “Vanilla” take on the traditional paper cupcakes and I love her brilliant “Lock Cup” concept. A cup that is designed for people who share workplace facilities such as a kitchen. The cup has a hole which prevents people from using it. Only the owner of the cup can use his shaped key to close the hole, pour the coffee and enjoy the drink. What a startup! BTW “Take it easy” and “Surprise!” were Featured at designboom “Handled with care exhibition.
