Sometimes I feel like a stalker when it comes to Daniel Zelig’s ceramic jewlery. If it was up to me, I would write her once a week asking for a sneak peek. And trust my words, I would probably receive something different with each and every email.
One of her latest collections is the “STONE” series. It came to life while she was exploring the concept of “inlay”. Daniel enjoys experimenting with “stones” and the outcome is super elegant, minimalistic and slightly different with each ring. I need to arrange a close and personal meeting with this white heaven.

Sivan Sternbach | Balloons. The Ceramic Version

|March 15, 2012

Is it strange that I still love balloons altough I’m not six year old? I hope the answer is no ;)
While visiting The FAD Pop-Up Shop, I fell head over heals with the most amazing ceramic balloons by Sivan Sternbach. Sivan shared with me that it all began as a gesture to Eran Shakine’s bronze balloon that she owns. Since then and many balloons later, Sivan uses different kinds of clays and has fun sculpting away balloons in all shapes and forms.
-
BTW, speaking of balloons- Geronimo Balloons. Press. Now. Thank me later.

World Break | Bo&Friends | Kamwei Fong | Cheeky Goldfish

|March 8, 2012

Bo is a Cheeky goldfish, who was conceived back in 2003 in Kamwei Fong’s mind.
Considering my own Dunny obsession, there is nothing I like more than a bare figure that takes a life of it’s own.
I guess that’s why I love this Bo fish so much!
Honestly, I’m not that much of a fish person but this time I can’t help it.
If you want me to be on your side, all you need to do is use a lot of white and just the right amount of color and I’m yours for good ;)

Yulia Tsukerman | Ceramic Candy

|March 6, 2012

For some reason, DesignBreak became a little bit more artsy this week…
As I mentioned, yesterday I visited the pop-up shop FAD and boy I was blown away by the mad talent!
One of the ceramists that made me smile from ear to ear was Yulia Tsukerman and her Vanitas world. It’s been a while since I was moved by a ceramic creation and I’ve been looking for “the next big thing” in the ceramic world. I know I’m using big words but I feel like there is a lot more where this mysterious beauty came from.
FYI, “Vanitas” is the Latin word stands for “Emptiness”.

Studet 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.

Student Break | Racheli Gabay Schaffner | Frozen Tea Party

|August 9, 2011

Yesterday was all about Peter Pan but today it’s about Alice in wonderland‘s tea party and the Cheshire Cat courtesy of Racheli Gabay Schaffner. Racheli researched the world of two dimensions and was drawn to the photography and animation aspect of it. She wanted to represent a series of rhythmic movements as ceramic objects and she defiantly succeeded freezing this tea party’s madness :)
BTW, one of the artists that Racheli was inspired by is Peter Jansen.
Racheli is a graduate of the Ceramics and Glass Department of Bezalel Academy of Art and Design.

Daniel Zelig | Fragile Chains

|July 31, 2011

By now, you all know I’m weak when it comes to accessories and especially if it involves necklaces in all shapes and forms. I have no spine! Trust me, I know my weaknesses too well :)
I guess that’s way Daniel Zelig felt the urge to send over a sneak peek into her latest ceramic heaven. Don’t get me wrong, since I first stumbled upon her white and fragile world I’ve become one of Daniels biggest fans. While considering her next move, Daniel knew she is gunning for the wow factor (second time in a row:) and that’s exactly what she did! FYI, the collection is inspired by industrial chains and is called “Elements”.

Noga Weiss | Fragile Moon

|July 20, 2011

How do you picture your moon?
For Noga Weiss the answer is really obvious. Her moon is made by ceramic molding. “This technology enables manufacture of a series cast from the same mold. After extraction from the basic mold, each item is easily changed to its desired design to give it unique character and grace.”
There are so many pictures and moons to choose from! I wish I could have posted all 101 pictures of these super minimalistic yet clever pieces.
Today is your lucky day, you can have your own moon at Noga’s Etsy shop.

World Break | Pigeon Toe Ceramics | The Whitey Bunch

|July 4, 2011

I’m gonna wrap this 4th of July parade with Lisa Jones and her Pigeon Toe Ceramics clan. This gal has respect for seasonal collections. For her S/S 2011 collection, a.k.a the most beautiful thing on earth right now, Lisa created a family of white perfection.
“Because memories should be created, not collected. Because life is too short to be surrounded by anything less than beautiful. Because design should be timeless and craft should be authentic. Because your objects tell a narrative. Your narrative.” {Lisa Jones}

World Break | Aedriel Moxley | American Party

Imagine the Whitehorse dinner table being served with Aedriel Moxley’s fun and festive dinnerware. I can picture it ;) There is no better way to celebrate the 4th of July. If you party, you should do it with a bang. BTW, have I mentioned I’m big on cupckaces and bright colors lately?

Studio Kahn | Breaking Point

|June 8, 2011

Apparently, Mey and Boaz Kahn like to break stuff. There is no other explanation for their ever growing collection that started with Fragile, the salt & pepper shakers. Now you can choose your favorite breakable item from heart to diamond to spheres and then just snap it and wear it. It’s as easy as it sounds!
As I told you before, I’m not sure if I have the heart to break it but if I have to, I’ll go with the Link… I’m a typographic girl at heart. But you knew that already ;)

World Break | Joon & Jung | The Designtellers

|June 3, 2011

The minute I ended up at Joon and Jung’s magical kingdom, I was hooked.
Their New I’m too sad to separate ceramic mugs made me think about the guy in my life who I adore and cherish. The one who believes in me and sticks with me no matter what. I’m sure the two had something completely different in mind but… I decided to share with you my take on it…
Oh… I first saw this project in one of Victor Hunt‘s Designart Documentaries. There is nothing like being able to hear a designer talk about his creation!

World Break | Bethan Lloyd Worthington | Welcome To The Dark Side

|May 31, 2011

If you’re like me, and you hear the name Bethan Lloyd Worthington for the first time, prepare yourself for a big treat! Bethan’s hand-painted tableware made me miss a heartbeat. Such an effortless, delicate and mysterious bundle of perfection! It all began with The Wild Places by Robert MacFarlane. “Drawings and paintings in response to this book were led by the notion of early detail map without information on how places connect. I sought to convey something incomplete, isolated, suggestive of the potential for further exploration, and of disappearance.”

World Break | Abigail MaryRose Clark | English Tea

|May 25, 2011

Apparently you can make bracelets out of teacups. You heard me right, bracelets out of teacups!
I’m loving the idea of taking vintage teacups and transforming them into jewelry.
Thank god Abigail has an infinite selection of unique and beautiful teacups in the UK ;)
You can visit her Etsy Shop for some English atmosphere e-shopping.
