Student Break | Yael Korotich | Nature’s Texture

|November 17, 2011

Yael Korotic is a third year student at the Textile Design Department of Shenkar College of Engineering and Design. While visiting lecturer, Ayelet Iontef‘s Home Textile Class I was blown away by Yael’s presentation and her naturalistic prints. She created her own personal interpretation for a back to nature concept in a minimalistic yet smart way.
This textured magic is called “Kapilka” which means “A little bit” in Russian.
FYI, technically Yael is a forth year student by now ;)

Student Break | Ester Klein | My Playground of Thoughts

|November 14, 2011

Ester Klein grew up in a Kibbutz. She is Jewish, Persian, Polish, Heretic and Repentant. Till this day, I remember how overwhelmed I was when I first saw Ester’s pieces of jewelry laying on the big white table. I felt confused and intrigued all at the same time. In her project she tries to cope with it all- “Within the scale between the Kibbutz, secularism and Judaism, what can you change and what can you play with? What remains and what falls apart?” Life in Israel can be confusing from time to time but I guess that’s what makes it so worthwhile. BTW, Ester is a graduate of the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design.

World Break | Elsa Lambinet | Sweet Sunday!

|October 31, 2011

Do you know anyone out there who doesn’t like chocolate? I don’t! SO, when I stumbled upon Elsa’s “Sweet Play”, you should have seen me jumping up and down in my chair. Your own custom chocolate! How genius is that?! BTW, this sweet magic was created at the ECAL /University.
-
Speaking of chocolate, I had to share with you one of my favorite illustrators who happens to work at one of my favorite brands (last photo). Katie Evans created this oh so delicious collage of paper-cut chocolates for Kate Spade.

Student Break | Tami Eshed | Geometrics. The Straight Way

|October 25, 2011

The world definitely needs a lot more geometric rings! Don’t you agree?
After seeing Tami Eshed’s graduation project and her set of rings I know someone has heard my prayers ;)
I guess all that is left to do is try them in person, better sooner than later.
You should visit Tami’s geometric forest if you dig straight lines as much as I do. There is a lot more than just rings but… I have to leave some room for your curiosity.
FYI, Tami is a 2011 graduate of the Jewelry Design Department at Shenkar College of Engineering and Design.

Student Break | Zofnat Ozeri | Under The Sea

|October 20, 2011

I’ve been meaning to write about Zofnat Ozeri’s intriguing creatures for a while but… nature has its course. She just gave birth to her little baby and I had to anxiously wait. Zofnat’s graduation project at the Textile Design Department of Shenkar College of Engineering and Design is one of those projects that you keep on thinking of… All I know for sure is that life under the sea was the endless source of inspiration for this hard working girl.
-
I couldn’t narrow it down to five pics… Hope you don’t mind ;)

Break Buddies | DesignBreak visits DesignMilk Blog

|October 4, 2011

Well, I’m a bit ashamed of myself.
It’s been almost two months since my “Top 10 up and coming Israeli designers” guest post aired on the mighty DesignMilk blog and I didn’t get the chance to tell you all about it. I was SO excited when Jaime gave me the green light.
Hope you like my countdown of my favorite (well, only ten of them) recent graduates.
Thank you Jaime for the opportunity to be part of you ever growing dairy even if only for a short moment. I had a blast!

Student Break | Liran Elbaz | The Beginning and End of a Story

|October 3, 2011

Something that really excites me is a great student project. While visiting the MA graduates show at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, I immediately spotted Liran Elaz’s pen. It allows to write down thoughts and erase them at the same time, freeing the writer of consequences . Liran, a first year student and also the girly half of “Two Industrial Designers”, sure managed to get me thinking! I wish I could have a pen like this of my own.

Student Break | Lee Oshrat | The Almighty Rubber Band

|September 27, 2011

Improvisation. There is something quite Israeli within this word. While visiting the MA graduates show of Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Lee Oshrat’s “Improvisation” was one of those projects that stayed with me once I left the gallery. The common office rubber band was the base for a series of five flexible connectors. Lee asked herself questions regarding the relationships between people and objects and the outcome is a garden of improvised, miss matched beauties!
BTW, “Alteration” is this year’s theme.

Student Break | Rotem Wilk | Knitted Snow White’s Gown

|September 22, 2011

Rotem Wilk’s graduation project at the Textile Design Department of Shenkar College of Engineering and Design is pure genius. Rotem began her journey by researching spiral structures first in nature and then she focused on Zaha Hadid‘s architectural structures. Movement, transparency and geometrical shapes where the foundation of her research and the final outcome is breathtaking knitted perfection. While trying to figure out which pictures to show, all I could think about was this is exactly how Snow White’s ball gown would look like!

Student Break | Dana Bachar | Feel Your Felt

|September 19, 2011

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 ;)

Student Break | Shir Pins | Wired Sounds

|August 31, 2011

If there is something I want to leave behind this week is all the urban noise. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a city girl in every bone in my body but sometimes the sound of the ocean can do wonders.
-
The sounds of the hectic city life is transformed into a collection of delicate brooches under the magic hands of Shir Pins, a graduate of the Jewelry and Fashion Department at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design.
Take a closer look and you might identify some of Shir’s own world in yours. After all, Jerusalem is a metropolitan ;)

Student Break | Michael Tsinzovsky | Local Design

|August 26, 2011

“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.

Student Break | Anat Thaler | Reptiled Fabrics

|August 25, 2011

To be honest, I’m not a big fan of reptiles and that’s an understatement!
When I first saw Anat Thaler’s fabrics I knew there was something quite intriguing and unique about them but couldn’t really put my finger on it. An entire project, inspired by the adaptive evolutionary processes of scaled reptiles, sounds like a scary road to follow. BUT, it’s mission accomplished in my book! Love the textures, colors and basically, love it all. Way to go sister!
As for before, Anat is a graduate of the Textile Design Department at Shenkar College of Engineering and Design.

Student Break | Einav Ohana | Balloonmania

|August 24, 2011

Such a brilliant concept. Accessories made out of balloons! How come I didn’t think of that first?
This colorful celebration is the creation of Einav Ohana, a graduate of the Jewelry Design Department at Shenkar College of Engineering and Design.

Student Break | Golan Cohen | A Shy State Of Mind

|August 23, 2011

“In My Head” is Golan Cohen’s cute as a button series of shy toys. “Each doll comes with built-in shyness features that would let the child choose the desired level of shyness and maybe even identify with it.” The bodies of all three dolls, the rabbit, the hedgehog and the lion, are tucked inside their heads in a “shy” state. When you pull them out, it’s like they overcome their shyness. Oh, and there is a story that tells their transformed journey. I know I could use this hedgehog back in the day ;) BTW, Golan is a graduate of the Industrial Design Department at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design.
