Bakery | Feel The Bit!

designbreak — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 20:10:49 +0000

Bakery oh Bakery, your name suites you SO well! I can chew any of your industrial pastries any given day!
The thing with this threesome (Gilli Kuchik, Ran Amitai and Gil Sheffi) is that if I don’t hear from them for a while, I know something is cooking. So, since I last heard from them they have been working on this super fun and extra colorful “8 Bit Drawers’”.
Don’t know what about you, but I can definitely feel the bit ;)

TAYO | Knitting While Sitting

designbreak — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 21:14:24 +0000

Tamar Kodman Garcia and Yodfat Sternreich know a thing or two about motherhood, family and in between. The two decided there is room for a breeze of fresh air in the Israeli design scene, so they mixed natural materials with clean lines and modern simplicity. Their first attempt as a duo was knitting cushion seats for the little ones and I think they nailed it! It looks SO smart and playful. Just one more thing, if you can think of anything your child would like, don’t hesitate to contact the two. They are up for the challenge! I dare you to try ;) At the moment TAYO has just a facebook page but soon enough the website will be up and running.

Ran Seri | Branched Out

designbreak — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 09:02:01 +0000

I’m not really sure where I first stumbled upon Ran Seri’s designs but I sure am glad I did! It’s such an awesome feeling to find amazing Israeli artists who ended up living their dream outside of our tiny country. I’ll be following Ran’s journey from now on but until then I had to share with you his “Why Not”, coat hangers. There is something quite brilliant in this particular design, so smart and fun!

Student Break | Michael Tsinzovsky | Local Design

designbreak — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 12:50:28 +0000

“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.

New Olds | A Traveling Blog

Einat Kayless Argaman — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 16:22:19 +0000

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.

Miklum Studio | Oh Frank

Einat Kayless Argaman — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 16:30:31 +0000

What could you do with some old wooden cabinets and doors? I guess that if you are part of the Miklum gang you’ll think about a modular system. Right?! By modularity they mean, you can add or replace Frankies as you like till you get the perfect mix. Combining the cubes into shelves, partition, benches, TV cabinet and the list go on and on… BTW, the blocks are mostly unaltered and so reflect the natural condition of the original raw material. They really captured the old and new in a unique and fun way.
FYI, “Miklum” means “From Scratch” in Hebrew.
