I had to share with you the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design 2012 Design Bonanza. If you are among the lucky ones who’ll be visiting the streets of Milan and the corridors of Ventura Lambrate during Milan Salone Internazionale del Mobile, you’ll be able to see at first hand 50 super exciting projects from the students of the Industrial Design Department. BTW, the curators behind it all are: Prof. Ezri Tarazi, Haim Parnas and Galit Shvo.

Israelis@MilanDesignWeek | Sharon Shalita and Meital Brokas | Nature Blues
|April 17, 2011

 I’m gonna wrap things up with the creations of Sharon and Meital, two recent graduates from the Textile Design Department at the Shenkar College of Engineering and Design. The two were inspired by 18th century Toile de Jouy, French designs. These ladies didn’t take the easy path. Meital wove the fabrics by hand while combining silver and gold threads and textile yarns, then Sharon engraved each and every image and finally printed with silkscreen using blue ink. It’s so amazing to think about all the hard and delicate work the duo have done!
You can see a lot more right here.

Israelis@MilanDesignWeek | d-Vision | Design with Unseen Waves
|April 15, 2011

 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 ;)

Israelis@MilanDesignWeek | Shir Atar | Animated Stools
|April 14, 2011

 Shir Atar’s Elevation Stools are being exhibited simultaneously at the Post Fossil exhibition in the Design Museum Holon and at the Promise Design 2001 during Milan Design Week.
I’m pretty sure he is a happy man at the moment.
“Elevation, is a family of stools made from recycled, non-woven yarns. Inspired by country landscapes, hills and mountains; this project explores new uses for traditional technology and raw materials.”
When I first laid my eyes on Shir’s fluffy stools it looked like some kind of hairy animal of some kind. I must admit that I’m loving her muted color pallet!

Israelis@MilanDesignWeek | Mika Barr | Dying Hard
|April 13, 2011

 Patience, I guess is the word for me, defines Mika Barr’s origami-like fabrics. I don’t know a lot of people who can dye, print, fold and breath all at the same time!
Well, if I were to study at the Textile Design Department at the Shenkar College of Engineering and Design, I guess I’d see it all over.
I remember gazing at these bigger then life fabrics for a very long time, while visiting the graduation exhibition of the class of 2009.
I forgot to mention that all this beauty is called folding A-part. You can read and see a lot more at designboom.

Israelis@MilanDesignWeek | Jaim Telias | Playing With Leaves
|

 When you take a close look at Jaim Telias’s Alè, you can get lost in all the lights and shadows. It feels like staring at a bright maze.
“Alè is a lamp composed of bi-dimensional modules inspired by the tree leaves. Bending creates 3D petals which generates an infinity of different forms while being joined into one. Thus, every lamp is different.”
If you want to see the lamp in a larger scale click right here.
BTW, Alè means leaf in Hebrew.

Israelis@MilanDesignWeek | Amiram Biton | A Drop Of Water
|April 12, 2011

 I first stumbled upon Amiram Biton’s drop dead gorgeous vase a while back during one of my regular visits to DesignMilk. I’m thrilled to have the chance to announce it as one of my favorite vases e-v-e-r!
Such a brilliant idea and straight to the point execution. Drops of water have never been so appreciated!

Israelis@MilanDesignWeek | Hagit Pincovici | Folding Chairs
|

 I have a feeling that Hagit and I studied at the same high school back in the day… but let’s leave it for another post;)
-
“Hagit Pincovici’s Alma Chair explores the relation between transparency and opacity and the harmony between Satin Ice Plexiglas and wood.”
I must admit that I love the rounded lines and the mix of bold and straight lined colors. It looks like she had a lot of paper folding parties at her studio.

Israelis@MilanDesignWeek | DAG DesignLab | Imaginary friends
|April 11, 2011

 Tal Mor and Shlomi Azulay have done it again!
Their rock a like salt & pepper shakers made me fall in love with their work before and now their new Fixie Lamps are in a whole new level of cuteness!
It looks like little reptile creatures having a fun dialog with each other or with themselves.
Now seriously, “the series is a collection of LED based lamps which is made out of a flexible material which makes them playful, and offers the users a variety of postures and adjustments.”
{DesignBreak found the Fixie’s here}

Israelis@MilanDesignWeek | Iris Zohar | Onion. Not What You’d Expect
|

 “Where does a vase end and a flower begin?”
Each onion vase is a one-of-a kind solution that mirrors the variances occurring in nature.
I wish I could have a sea of onion vases on my dining table…
Well, First I need to have a dinning table ;)

d-Vision | On-Off exhibition | The Sky Is The Limit
|April 26, 2010

  • Olla
  • Draw me a lamb(p)
  • 97% Soap
 d-Vision is a friendly environment for all those fresh industrial design graduates. For their 2010 Salone Satellite show, in the Milan design week, they showed a collection which explores various applications of LED lighting and pushes it towards surprising limits. I have to say that I’m loving this Olla lamp! I’ve loved balloons since I was a child.
I have to hand it to their curator, the gifted Ezri Tarazi who put together an amazing and inspiring collection! His studio web site is a place for endless inspiration. Don’t forget to check it out!

You can download the show catalog here.
