I’ve been meaning to write about Noam Tabenkin’s Furniture Hospital since 2010. Crazy but true… Who would have thought that two years can go by so quickly?!
Anyways, there is no way two little years will stand between me and writing a post regarding this spot on concept… In her graduation project Noam gave new life to damaged, out-of-use furnitures. The thing is that the way she mixed the old with the new and improved them make me want to damage some of my own furniture only so Noam could save them and give them the Tabenkin magic. Again, crazy but true!

OK, now this is true polka dot madness!
I mean, with all the polka dots I see where ever I turn, and with that being also Kate Spade’s art of the dot fall theme, it makes perfect sense to share with you Yoav Brill’s Ishihara. Ishihara draws it’s name and inspiration from the visual tests used to detect color blindness. I won’t reveal anything else about the story cause you have to see it for yourself.
FYI, Ishihara was Yoav’s 2010 graduation project, at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, but in my defense only now I realised there is a living, breathing English version.

You probably heard before about Hanan Kedmi’s super intriguing graduation project. However, when I laid my hands on his latest photo shoot, I had to share it with you. It doesn’t hurt that your wife is your personal photographer. You got it, this power couple is the one behind this “low-tech” production, as they like to call it. In Hanan’s “Felt Follows Form”, he experimented with recycled aluminum parts (computer heat sinks) and felt, which shielded them. The felt not only holds the parts together but is also woven into them! Did I mention he is brilliant?

When you mix two of my all time favorites, in this case typography and accessories, there is no way I’m gonna pass the opportunity to write about it even if it was created back in 2010. Roni Pinkas, the young designer behind all this typographic party, created it all as part of her graduate project at the Jewelry Design Department at Shenkar College.
I don’t know what about you, but I feel like I can wear each and every piece. Old typewriting keyboards, wooden letters, metal letters, contoured letters… I really don’t care, as long as it’s typolichius I’d be happy to wear it!
