Israelis@MilanDesignWeek | Design Bonanza | Bezalel’s Students Show

|April 16, 2012

Is it already time for another Milan Design Week? I had so much fun writing about all the amazing designers last year! This time I’ll have to see it all once I get back from my trip. I had to share with you the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design 2012 Design Bonanza. If you are among the lucky ones who’ll be visiting the streets of Milan and the corridors of Ventura Lambrate during Milan Salone Internazionale del Mobile, you’ll be able to see at first hand 50 super exciting projects from the students of the Industrial Design Department. BTW, the curators behind it all are: Prof. Ezri Tarazi, Haim Parnas and Galit Shvo.

Lital Gold | Somewhere Over The Rainbow

|April 8, 2012

Communication. Connection. Link. Relation. Relationship. Contact. Bond. Loop. Tie. Knot. All these words are the equivalent of the Hebrew word “Kesher”, which is also the tittle of Lital Gold’s first solo exhibition at the Urban Inc HQ in Philadelphia. I have a feeling it’s not a coincidence that in her first exhibition, Lital deals with lots of emotions about leaving home and moving to the other side of the world, to pursue her dream job as a designer at Free People.
Lital is one of those, who eats drinks and sleeps design. Sometimes it feels like she keeps on illustrating in her sleep and I bet it’s also when all her ideas come to life.

FAD | An Israeli Design Feast

|March 5, 2012

I haven’t been excited about an event for a while… but there is something about FAD which is opening tonight that makes me feel like a little girl!
Maybe it’s the fact that I hope to finally meet some of my favorite industrial designers face to face (if I don’t freeze and find the right words) or the fact that I can’t wait to discover some new designers that I haven’t heard of before… I’m pretty sure I’ll mention this FAD a lot more in the near future but until then, let me leave you with Mishmaacool and Tag.me.no “Get a Bit of Reality” Dino table lamp.
FYI, FAD stands for Fashion.Art.Design. and the ones behind it all are Design Space and the Shoplifters gang.

Bezalel Academy | The Timeline

|March 4, 2012

The minds behind Bezalel Art and Design Academy out did themselves! With Facebook launching it’s timeline, Bezalel is also introducing it’s very own artistic timeline. You can find lots of inspiration from their students and recent graduates but above all you can spend hours and hours starring at all the projects you didn’t know about untill now. FYI, this timeline is Hebrew friendly but I’m pretty sure you can find your way easily.

I feel a bit behind with my own Facebook page… I think it’s time I start to work on DesignBreak’s timeline ;)

Iris Zohar | Concrete Dreams

|December 8, 2011

Iris Zohar is a women of many faces. I wrote about her more than once but this time I must admit, I wasn’t expecting this project…
Her “TableWare” blurs the line between the tableware and the surface on which they are laid out. The way the tableware gently pours itself into the surface is beautiful!
-
I first saw this concrete show stopper at Sotheby’s “Dream Objects”, a contemporary Israeli design selling exhibition, which took place last October. There were many “dream furnitures” in this expo and I’m sure you’ll be hearing about them here soon.

Time 02 | Jerusalem Calling | Young Fever

|December 4, 2011

The time has come and Time 02 is here for another round. Starting today till Friday you can visit the work of 12 young and super enthusiastic designers. The main theme behind the exhibition is “On The Double”. I’m curious about the location of this expo at the “Hansen Hospital”, which used to serve as a leprosarium.
Well, there is so much to tell so… if you happen to be in Israel, you should use the opportunity to see it all for yourself. FYI, the curator behind this mega important tradition is Tal Gur and the artistic production is by Prime. Total product design.
You can read about last year’s expo here, here and here.

Israeli Glass 2011 | See Trough Stories

|October 18, 2011

Last week I visited the “Israeli Glass 2011″ exhibition. Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect but… I was blown away by the mad talent! So many brilliant and out of the box ideas executed beautifully and with a sensitive eye for the smallest details.
I have to mention Roi Carmeli’s “One Game Only” video. You have to spare 02:13 minutes of you time. Trust me, you’ll thank me later!
Oh… and the mastermind behind it all is the curator Henrietta Eliezer Brunner.

My instagram madness is the one responsible for all these pictures.

New Olds | A Traveling Blog

|June 30, 2011

Last week I visited the traveling exhibition new olds. Design between Tradition and Innovation at Design Museum Holon, which was curated by Volker Albus. The variety of the exhibits made me think about it a long after I left. The fact that a bunch of recently graduated Israeli designers were displaying their work made me feel at home. With the exhibition comes a traveling blog. You should definitely check it out. It’s my kind of design break.

Rafsoda | The Israeli Invasion of Paris

|June 15, 2011

Tomorrow is a very special day! Some of my all time favorite designers are visiting Paris. They come all the way from Tel Aviv for a four day celebration of Israeli design, the pop up way. “Rafsoda invites the public to embark on an astonishing journey to the new frontiers of Israeli design innovation, featuring events that include the opportunity to meet many of the store’s exceptional design talents, participating for the first time at Designer’s days Paris.”
In a way, it feels like it’s a DesignBreak celebration with some very good freinds like: Maya Shalev, Studio Ve, Kozo Lamp, Groupa Studio, Me-Dusa…

Matkot TLV-Berlin | Something to Think About…

|May 2, 2011

A group of Israeli artists received a pair of Matkot (beach paddle ball rackets) as their medium. The artists, in their own way, developed a dialog with the material and the idea. The past and the future, the “here” and “there” and above all the present. The artists are struggling with anguish as they create their artwork from their inner being while trying to bridge the contrast that the Matkot game symbolizes in the “give and take” between people.

Matkot Tel Aviv-Berlin
at the ECC Atelierhaus, Berlin.
Starting this Friday.

Yaarit Mechany | Lucid Dream, a Floral Fantacy

|April 28, 2011

A sneak peek of Yaarit Mechany’s first solo exhibition! Happening tonight at the Periscope – Contemporary Design Gallery in Tel Aviv. Yaarit’s childhood memories, nostalgia and fantasies come to life by techniques that are long gone these days.
I’m dying to see Yaarit’s magical touch and her use of floral fabrics. It makes me want to go on a Liberty fabric spry with her.
-
On a side note, I’m on a mission to get these sneakers. I will get them, so help me god!
I’ll do anything! Just thought you would like to know ;)

Israelis@MilanDesignWeek | Sharon Shalita and Meital Brokas | Nature Blues

|April 17, 2011

I’m gonna wrap things up with the creations of Sharon and Meital, two recent graduates from the Textile Design Department at the Shenkar College of Engineering and Design. The two were inspired by 18th century Toile de Jouy, French designs. These ladies didn’t take the easy path. Meital wove the fabrics by hand while combining silver and gold threads and textile yarns, then Sharon engraved each and every image and finally printed with silkscreen using blue ink. It’s so amazing to think about all the hard and delicate work the duo have done!
You can see a lot more right here.
You can get in touch with Sharon here: sharonshalita {at} gmail {dot} com

Israelis@MilanDesignWeek | d-Vision | Design with Unseen Waves

|April 15, 2011

Last year it was the On-Off exhibition but this year it’s all about Ultra Gamma.
d-Vision teamed up with the Bezalel’s M.Des program for a bigger, brighter and colorful installation, which Ezri Tarazi and the young designers put together. The concept behind it all is that “fifty years from now, waves will be discovered at a frequency currently unknown to mankind.”
The lucky ones can still experience the deep dark blue feeling creation at the 50+50 exhibition Salone De Mobile.

BTW, Thank you David Keller for the live update ;)

Israelis@MilanDesignWeek | Shir Atar | Animated Stools

|April 14, 2011

Shir Atar’s Elevation Stools are being exhibited simultaneously at the Post Fossil exhibition in the Design Museum Holon and at the Promise Design 2001 during Milan Design Week.
I’m pretty sure he is a happy man at the moment.
“Elevation, is a family of stools made from recycled, non-woven yarns. Inspired by country landscapes, hills and mountains; this project explores new uses for traditional technology and raw materials.”
When I first laid my eyes on Shir’s fluffy stools it looked like some kind of hairy animal of some kind. I must admit that I’m loving her muted color pallet!
