| d-Vision is a friendly environment for all those fresh industrial design graduates. For their 2010 Salone Satellite show, in the Milan design week, they showed a collection which explores various applications of LED lighting and pushes it towards surprising limits. I have to say that I’m loving this Olla lamp! I’ve loved balloons since I was a child. I have to hand it to their curator, the gifted Ezri Tarazi who put together an amazing and inspiring collection! His studio web site is a place for endless inspiration. Don’t forget to check it out! You can download the show catalog here. |

| Student Break | Guy Koenigstein | Independence State Of Mind |
| Today is Israel’s independence day. For some reason I feel like Guys project, Family Stories, deals with something that is familiar to most Israelis. It made me think about my own family and my own comfort zone here in Israel. BTW, this is Guy’s graduation project from the Man and Public Space Department of Design Academy Eindhoven. {DesignBreak found Guy here}. www.guykoenigstein.com |
| Carla Reichman | Butterflies |

Her debut collection in Israel focuses on the inspiration of butterflies. Those of you who live in Israel, Will be able to find Carla’s butterflies collection at the Shoofuni shoe fair. {Shoofuni’s web site is hebrew friendly} You can get in touch with Carla here: in.carlas.shoes {at} gmail {dot} com |

| Noa Zohar | Spider Vibe |
| When I got Rachel’s Zoe newsletter the other day, it took me back to those rings I saw somewhere… I couldn’t really remember where was the first time I saw them and I don’t have any information about the designer, except for her name. It would be such a waist not to share her amazing work just because I didn’t find her details… I’ll keep searcing and let you know what I come up with. In the mean time, enjoy Noa’s webby work. _ Found her e-mail… You can get in touch with Noa here: superkumkum {at} gmail {dot} com |

| Cygalle Shapiro | She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not |
| Such a smart concept! Cygalle’s serving spoons emanate from one basic form. “By breaking off pieces, variety and change are created, handing back to the consumer part of the production process.” I admit, the name of the project “She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not” made me love it even more :) {DesignBreak found Cygalle here}. www.cygalle.com |
