Student Break | Shir Pins | Wired Sounds
|August 31, 2011

 If there is something I want to leave behind this week is all the urban noise. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a city girl in every bone in my body but sometimes the sound of the ocean can do wonders.

The sounds of the hectic city life is transformed into a collection of delicate brooches under the magic hands of Shir Pins, a graduate of the Jewelry and Fashion Department at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design.
Take a closer look and you might identify some of Shir’s own world in yours. After all, Jerusalem is a metropolitan ;)

  • Behind the Scenes | Ice Cream Volcano
  • Candy Oxford
  • Behind the Scenes | Ice Cream Volcano
 In case you were wondering, we are back to our monthly Oded Arama post. I know, I know, this guy should be the first contestant in the up coming TV show, “Project ShoeShoe” coming your way this fall (a girl can dream :). He can come up with the most ah-ma-zing design in a second or two! For His 2011 Collection Oded had ice cream in mind and who can blame him? If there is one thing I love more than ice cream is cupcakes. Maybe I should pitch him this idea. So… “Sweets”, the collection is full with super exciting colors. I dare you to buy your man the “Candy Oxford”.
All the previous posts I wrote about this ridiculous designer are right here.

Student Break | Michael Tsinzovsky | Local Design
|August 26, 2011

  • Asli | A Laser Cut Veneer Stool
  • Coexistence | Metal vs. Wood
  • Asli | A Family of Stools
 “Local Design” is a shot in the right direction for a new set of ideas. Coexistence of society and nationalities, ornament and construction, craft and design, metal and wood, east and west, geography and nationality. Michael Tsinzovsky, a graduate of the Industrial Design Department at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, had almost an impossible task at hand. “A young country without long tradition of arts and crafts, that tries to be European in the center of the Middle East”, it’s quite surprising he didn’t get lost along the way.

Student Break | Anat Thaler | Reptiled Fabrics
|August 25, 2011

 To be honest, I’m not a big fan of reptiles and that’s an understatement!
When I first saw Anat Thaler’s fabrics I knew there was something quite intriguing and unique about them but couldn’t really put my finger on it. An entire project, inspired by the adaptive evolutionary processes of scaled reptiles, sounds like a scary road to follow. BUT, it’s mission accomplished in my book! Love the textures, colors and basically, love it all. Way to go sister!
As for before, Anat is a graduate of the Textile Design Department at Shenkar College of Engineering and Design.

|August 24, 2011

 Such a brilliant concept. Accessories made out of balloons! How come I didn’t think of that first?
This colorful celebration is the creation of Einav Ohana, a graduate of the Jewelry Design Department at Shenkar College of Engineering and Design.

Student Break | Golan Cohen | A Shy State Of Mind
|August 23, 2011

 “In My Head” is Golan Cohen’s cute as a button series of shy toys. “Each doll comes with built-in shyness features that would let the child choose the desired level of shyness and maybe even identify with it.” The bodies of all three dolls, the rabbit, the hedgehog and the lion, are tucked inside their heads in a “shy” state. When you pull them out, it’s like they overcome their shyness. Oh, and there is a story that tells their transformed journey. I know I could use this hedgehog back in the day ;) BTW, Golan is a graduate of the Industrial Design Department at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design.

Student Break | Natalie Bettelheim and Sharon Michaeli | Howl
|August 22, 2011

 Sometimes all you need is a good story and the rest will follow. Natalie Bettelheim and Sharon Michaeli came up with such a sensitive story that no words were needed. Sharon Michaeli’s animation is priceless! The light, textures and movement were flawless. The one “bad” thing I can say is I wanted it to last for a few more minutes. I’m a sucker for emotional stories. Guilty as charged!
It’s exciting to see this short animation come from the Screen-Based Arts Department at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design.
One more thing, LOVE the animation tests. Girls, tnx for moving me!

Student Break | Max Cheprack | Oriental Clay
|August 21, 2011

 Imagining a ginormous machine, so you’ll be able to fulfill your vision, is one thing, actually building it, is a whole other story! I guess Max Cheprack likes to go the extra mile, his extrusion clay research led to a line of stools. I can tell it was a long and overwhelming journey. By Pushing clay through a Muslim inspired template Max created these unique stools and opened a door to some new possibilities and adventures in the ceramic world.
Here is a glimpse inside the process.
Max is a graduate of the Industrial Design Department at H.I.T.

World Break | Edgar Mosa | Wooden Statment
|August 19, 2011

 Well, you probably won’t belive it, but this is a first here at DesignBreak.
Two posts, one designer, published only a few seconds apart. What can I say, I can’t help myself!
I had to take a step back and share with you Edgar Mosa’s 2010 “Month Three”.
“Trees are like people – its not like you can just walk up to them and expect to get along.” Can’t argue with Edgar’s statement, but now you understand why I just couldn’t write about his intriguing world just once. Right?

World Break | Edgar Mosa | Mosatural
|

 When my dear friend, Ruta Reifen, mentioned the name Edgar Mosa I didn’t have a clue who he was. So, as I do best, I began digging and oh boy, I fell in love!
Edgar is a 2011 MA graduate at the Cranbrook Academy of Arts, Michigan, USA and his graduation project, “The Mountain”, is so refreshing and one of a kind! I don’t really know what to say except OMG!
Natural materials never looked so sophisticated and ready to wear.

Student Break | Gal Kantor Kuperman | Map It!
|August 18, 2011

 If Google Earth ever decides to launch a jewlery collection, they definitely should contact Gal Kantor Kuperman and discus some points and maybe consider using her graduation collection as their starting point :)
Gal’s topographic jewelry collection goes by the name “Journey”. Her journey is a reminisce of all her favorite places and her search for her role as an individual in the big wide world.
FIY, Gal is a brand new graduate of the Jewelry Design Department at Shenkar College of Engineering and Design.

Student Break | Liron Kroll | Family and Femininity
|August 17, 2011

 “High Expectations” is Liron Kroll’s graduation film at the RCA. Liron chose family photographs and dealt with the gap between the idealized photograph and the reality it represents. “The film questions the role of family photography as the key way to form memories and examines the effect it can have on one’s perception of the future.” Liron stresed that “She is interested in the illusiveness of normality and the inherent contradiction in the need to belong to a social structure, but being simultaneously repulsed by it.”
I’m excited to share with you a sneak peek and a behind the scenes footage.

Student Break | Polina Azarov | Adopt Your Furniture
|August 16, 2011

 Would you allow yourself to become attached to your drawer, as much as to your adorable dog? Polina Azarov, from the Industrial Design Department at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, created her own version of a felted Brady Bunch. These soft containers are a real family with each object having its own character and a different form of storage. “The softness and the proportions of the objects make them domestic creatures that we can enjoy adopting into our homes.”
All I can tell you is that my next piece of furniture will be my new pet! There is nothing wrong with that, is there?
