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

designbreak — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 05:55:31 +0000

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

designbreak — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 09:00:15 +0000

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

designbreak — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 19:24:43 +0000

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

designbreak — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 21:22:30 +0000

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

designbreak — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 18:10:42 +0000

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

designbreak — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 17:03:54 +0000

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.
