| Sagi Ashin | Black and White Moment |
| Sometimes all you need is an illustration to brighten your day. That’s what Sagi Ashin’s rhino did to my day. You can read my previous post about Sagi’s magic hands right here. Hope you all have a sunny week. {DesignBreak found Sagi’s rhino here} You can get in touch with Sagi here: sagiashin {at} gmail {dot} com |
| Eva Avidar | Still Cockroach |
| I’ve beem planing on visiting the Six Biennale of Israeli Ceramics for a while now. Lets be clear on one thing, I hate cockroaches but… this little creature is briliant and the fact that I know it’s made out of clay maks me love it! I don’t know much about the artist, Eva Avidar, so if anyone can share some info I’ll be happy to hear it all. You can get in touch with Eva here: avidar.eva {at} gmail {dot} com |
| Kobi Perez | X-rayed Animals |
| If you ever wondered how a dog or a cow skeleton looks like, now you even can wear it as a brooch. This is what happens when you leave an X-ray sheet around Kobi Perez. The guy knows how to take an ordinary idea and transform it into an extraordinary accessory. You can get in touch with Kobi here: kobiperez {at} gmail {dot} com |
| Yaacov Kaufman | Memos For The Road |
| First came Morris then came Bianca and Lenny. What more can you ask from a memo holder? www.yaacovkaufman.com |
| World Break | Judy Kaufmann | Here Kitty Kitty… |
| I’ll be the first to admit I’m not that crazy about cats… However, looking at Judy Kaufmann’s Cats I can see there is more to it. I find myself starring at their playful and curvy figures. Which is your favorite animal? I for once, would have to get back to you on that one. {This is a Spanish World Break} www.kaufmannillustration.com |
| Lama Studio | Run Lola Run |
| A while back I fell in love with this ceramic radio. I started digging and found the magical world of Eitan Gig and Ofer Dahan. A world of joy and great imagination. Their latest creation is a chandelier depicting deer galloping out from a central point, creating the idea of “mass escape”. “The choice of a deer is not a coincidence. It is inspired by the classic stuffed deer head that traditionally decorates the walls of hunting lodges. However, it is given a contemporary, humorous interpretation through shape, technology and material.” The guys are working on their new website, so add their link to your favorites and check back real soon. www.studio-lama.com |
| Nir Meiri | Wooden Safari |
| I’ve been following Nir’s footsteps for a while now. He has an effortless touch in his designs and a wicked mind. Nir’s “Jungle Clocks” made me think about my childhood. Back then it was all about the simple materials and wooden shapes who played a big role in my playground haven. www.nirmeiri.com |
| Student Break | Shimrit Lugasi | Your average black crow |
| Now that’s what I call dramatic jewelry! One of the things that excites me the most is discovering an accessory that was designed with unconventional materials. That was the case when I bumped into Shimrit’s feathery (carbon fiber) creations! She had the image of a black crow in mind when she started her proses. FIY, Shimrit is a 2010 graduate of the Jewelry Design Department of Shenkar College of Engineering and Design but you already knew that, right?! You can get in touch with Shimrit here: shlo85 {at} walla {dot} com |
| Student Break | Michal Mann | Animal-Enemal |
| This week is all about the 2010 graduates of the Jewelry Design Department at Shenkar College of Engineering and Design. First is the exciting creation by Michal. All I can say is that I’m lost for words! I better let the pictures do the work for me. You can get in touch with Michal here: michalmann {at} walla {dot} co {dot} il |
| Student Break | Noa Himelfarb | Playing with dirt |
| Would you like to step back in time and play with dirt yourself? Noa surely thought it would be an exiting thing to do and I have to agree with her. Her animals caught my attention at the first sight. “MuZoo are toy animals made of soil with accessories that distinguish and enhance the characters. It renews the interaction with natural materials and turns soil into a toy”. BTW, Noa is a 2010 graduate of the Industrial Design Department of Bezalel Academy of Art and Design. www.noa-himelfarb.com |
| Tali Yalonetzki | Dog Face |
| I’m not much of a dog lover but when Naomi Shiek sent me the link to Tali’s Etsy shop I found my self staring at this Calvin dog for quit some time… I guess deep inside I can find some kind of love for this cute puppy. Tali has a remarkable ability to capture precious moments in life and make a timeless paining out of it. You can read an interview with the Tali right here. {This is a DesignBreak by Naomi Shiek} |
| Hila Amram | Magical Mutants |
| Hila invents her own nature at her “crystal garden”. Her art is like Alice in wonderland gone wild! “Hila’s work expresses a strong affinity to Nature and wonder at its innovation that are manifested in her exploration of its magic.” {DesignBreak found Hila at untitled} www.hilamram.com |
| Student Break | Tanya Grishko | Dog Life |
| You have to take 04:04 minutes of your time and watch this one. Tanya’s “Dog Life” makes you think! Tanya is a 2010 graduate of the Visual Communication Design Department of Shenkar College of Engineering and Design. You can visit Tanya’s blog right here. The only problem is that it is russian friendly so you and I both will have to use google translator ;) |
| Student Break | Isaac Eskayo | ConnecToy |
| Isaac is a 2010 graduate of the Industrial Design Department at the Holon Institute of Technology. ConnecToys are toys based on connections between different materials. The toys are a result of research that focussed on how materials can be connected, disconnected and create movement. www.eskayodesign.com |
| Student Break | Shir Gur | Stop and Smell the Roses |
| Shir is a 2010 graduate of the Fashion Design Department of Shenkar College of Engineering and Design. I love the way Shir spiced things up and added all these little creatures and flowers to her mix. I’m a flower girl in heart but for me they souhld stay in a vase. Shir’s point of view made me second guess my belief. “For me, flowers symbolize spiritual enjoyment and the beauty of the moment. As life is temporary and nothing lasts forever, I invite you to take a moment with me, grasp it at its peak, hold it close to your heart and enjoy its beauty.” You can get in touch with Shir here: shirgur {at} inter {dot} net {dot} il |
