Naama Hofman | The Game of Light
Seeing Naama Hofman’s light objects (as she refers to them) I couldn’t help thinking of the Star Wars’ Lightsaber… Do you see it, or is it just me?
I guess having a husband who loves all things “Star Wars” has something to do with it ;)
In her 005 Collection, Hila used glass, acrylic tube and LED light for creating four different creatures. These objects feel at times 2D objects rather than 3D… and I have a feeling that’s what makes me love them so much… What can I say, I’m a 2D girl!

NY Break | Allison Patrick | Typographic Light
Did you see my NY Break? It’s been way too long so the minute I stumbled upon Allison Patrick’s rad lighting pendant lamps, I knew it was time to have some extra delicious New York flavor around here. It feels like Allison gives the term “crafty person” a new meaning. She is crazy talented and her lamps are so pretty! I’m sure there are piles and piles of new designs over there just waiting to come out.
BTW, you can read an interview with Allison right here or even visit her blog right here.
Just one more thing, the name behind it all is Zipper8Lighting, that’s right Zipper8Lighting, start memorizing it ;)


Ilan Garibi | Till Origami Do Us Part
Ilan Garibi is one of those guys that have to work with his hands 24/7. This dude folds and folds and folds paper till he drops. Well, at least that’s what it feels like.
One of Ilan’s latest collaborations was with Aqua Creations. He was responsible for all this mad folding and Ofir Zucker and Albi Serfaty were responsible for the design. The bright child is called Molecule.
You can read an interview with this mega crazy folder right here.
BTW, over the weekend I’m gonna visit Ilan’s brand new exhibition. Can’t wait!

Nir Meiri | Delicate Sand

When Nir Meiri first told me of his next adventure, I didn’t know what to expect. Sand molded lamp sounded like a crazy idea that I had to see for myself. SO, the day has come and… “The use of sand as the main material plays on the tension between its wild nature – that of sand storms and vast desserts– and the delicacy of the molded end design. Despite their apparent fragility, the bulbs are sturdy, and their strength partners with that of the fixture’s metal pole.”
BTW, “Desert Storm” is now on show at Qubique Berlin. Did I mention I LOVE the name of the lamp?

Student Break | Dana Bachar | Feel Your Felt

Felt. I’m starting to have an instant crush for just about any felt related design. It’s kinda insane but at least I’m aware of it. They say it’s the first step to admit it, right?
Dana Bachar, a 2011 graduate of the Industrial Design Department at the Holon Institute of Technology, designed a series of light fixtures that won me over in a heart beat. The shape, the colors and most importantly the felt are a mixture of perfection.
I’d love to hear about your favorite material if there is such a thing in your vocabulary ;)
