I’m so exited to see my favorite designs and even more to discover new ones! One of my newest discoveries is Pilpeled’s “Bina”, a tooth like ashtray. Pilpeled is an amazing illustrator, graphic designer and artist who is responsible for the new brilliant print displayed at the “rafsoda” store.

| I had to share with you a preview of Hila’s deeply moving thesis work. Hila is a MA student at the Communication Design Department at Central Saint Martins. Her project focuses on Primo Levi, chemist, writer and Holocaust survivor. “Through his testimony, I reveal different questions about his struggle: the linguistic problems in Auschwitz, the loss of identity, the hierarchy between prisoners, the fake release, the relations between chemistry and life and Levi’s suicide in 1987″.
I can’t wait to take a closer look at her stunning work. You should definitely visit Hila’s Behance portfolio.

| I didn’t think recycled objects can look so chic! The guys from Ubico studio say that their materials come from dumpsters, construction sites and the streets of Tel Aviv. Their work is about urban gathering and reclaiming. I think it’s time for me to start opening my eyes for new possibilities!

| I have been a big fan of 4Make studio for a long time and I even have one of their prints in my living room.
Daniel Waknin and Tamar Weissbrod have such an amazing eye for the smallest details!
Their latest creation is the “Wall Clocks” collection.

| I had to share with you guys this amazing music video, which was directed by the talented Guy Ben Shetrit! I just ran into it and I can’t believe it was made two years ago. Where have I been?!
Anyways, I love everything about it.

| One of the reasons that made me visit the “Gifted” market {by the brooklynFlea creators} was The horo collection by Anna Corpron. But sadly, when I got there, I found out that I was too late… Well, as you all know me, It’s just a bump on the road. I already checked and found out that Anna ships to Israel {thank god for that!}.

| “Gifted” by the brooklynFlea creators was on the top of my to do list.
But I have to tell you this, I didn’t expect to see anatomical organs!
Would you wear necklace pendant cast of a human heart?! At first I thought to my self no way but I have to admit that it kind of grew on me…
If you want to wear your own heart, you just need to go to Lillian’s Etsy shop.

| When I arrived to the sixth floor at the Museum of Arts and Design I was amazed to find Itamar’s sculptures.
All I could say was WOW!
His sculptures are constructed from tens and often hundreds of layers of wood or cardboard using topographical model techniques. I have to admit that I stood there for a long time and just gazed…
