Miklum Studio | Oh Frank
|June 7, 2011

 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.

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!

Israelis@MilanDesignWeek | Hagit Pincovici | Folding Chairs
|April 12, 2011

 I have a feeling that Hagit and I studied at the same high school back in the day… but let’s leave it for another post;)
-
“Hagit Pincovici’s Alma Chair explores the relation between transparency and opacity and the harmony between Satin Ice Plexiglas and wood.”
I must admit that I love the rounded lines and the mix of bold and straight lined colors. It looks like she had a lot of paper folding parties at her studio.

Groupa Studio | Black and White Perfection
|March 24, 2011

 “Piece Per Week” is a chalange the guys of Groupa Studio took upon themselves.
For ten weeks, they’ll design one new furniture piece each week!
I’m loving their Piece Per Week #7 which is called “hold on”. Black and white are my favorite colors (well, yellow as well but we’ll leave it at that) and when ever it comes hand in hand with clean and refined design I’m hooked.
You can read an Hebrew friendly interview about the project right here.

Ezri Tarazi | Battle Souvenirs
|February 22, 2011

 I’ll be the first to admit that spending two years in the army is no fun and games. In fact, I think I’ve erased it from my memory… but somehow walking down Ezri Tarazi’s
military home puts things in perspective. Ezri’s home objects made of battle souvenirs, such as vases made of bomb shells and ashtrays made of bullet shells made me confront my inner demons.
Ezri called his imagined home “Kalab”, which stand for close to home in army slang.
If you happen to be in Tel-Aviv you can experience it all for yourself at Paradigma Gallery till March 18th.
