  • Awateef | Behind the Scenes
Maya Ober, a resent graduate of the Industrial Design Department at Holon Institute of Technology, teamed up with her Polish friends for her graduation project. The four girls, aka knockoutdesign, created the Awateef family, a community based hand weaved project, with the help of the Palestinian craftswomen of Kfar Manda village in Galilee. The slogan behind this collaboration was “when local craft meets technology and design to serve the community”. There is a lot more to tell about this importent project and you can read about it all right here.
FYI, “Awateef” means “Feelings” in Arabic.

Dana Ben Dov | Tales of Times Gone By

Dana Ben Dov, the woman and the golden curls, is one of the nicest most inspiring woman I’ve met in a while. There is something about her and her art, that makes you want to become part of her entourage.
“In my art I work with pieces of life and light. By combining both I give them new life, new light and new meaning.” Don’t know what about you but I’m melting…
Dana lets her imagination lead the way, while composing stunnig light fixtures, piece by piece.

Kulla Design | Light Up Your Table

A while back I wrote about Stools. The 50% sawdust version. “A measured mixture of the two materials is pressed into an aluminum mold and then baked.
The heat creates a homogeneous connection without using any adhesives.” Since then, the girls behind Kulla Design worked on a new addition to their 50% sawdust family of products. I would definitely add those two cuties to my work table any day of the week.
Can’t wait to find out what will be the next addition. I just love it when you get good design in small portions ;)

Have you seen the latest addition to the WAF family?
It looks like a take on the Tux Jacket. Then again, I have a habit of imagening things when it comes to Asaf Weinbroom’s creations ;)

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

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 ;)
