For a moment I felt like it’s the Nir Meiri blog ;) Maybe the fact that I met Nir for the first time after a long email affair, confused me.
Anyways, the fact of the matter is that I’m one of Nir’s biggest fans. You can refresh your memory here, here oh and here too. The fact that he doesn’t know how to slow down makes things even more interesting. Nir’s latest creation is Bamboo version of his super brilliant concrete plates that I love so very much! His clean lines are getting slicker and slicker by the minute! Just a little warning, I’m sure you’ll be reading about Nir once the Milan Design Week approaches. Just sayin!

Reddish Studio | Bottle Cork Zoo

|February 6, 2012

Well, well, well… what have we here?
Unless you’ve lived under a rock for the past week or so, you’ve probably seen this Corkers zoo by Naama Steinbock and Idan Friedman aka the love bugs behind Reddish Studio. The two collaborated with Oded Friedland (also known as Monkey Business) and created this animal party! “Bring your dinner party and your bottle corks to life with these cute‭, ‬collectable animal parts‭.‬”
All is left to do is decide which animal to chose. Any suggestions?

Nuki Sigura | Royal Gold

|January 19, 2012

While discovering Mika Barr’s 3D folding pillows early this week I also had the great pleasure of finding the latest creation of one of my all time favorite jewelry designers, Nuki Sigura.
Nuki’s Royal Family for Talents Design is a three pieces set of serving trays.
Talking about being glamorous and sophisticated while hosting… Well, I’m sure not royalty by any means, but I don’t mind feeling like it for a day ;)
Oh, just one more thing this creation is coated in 14K gold. OH.Em.Gee!

Iris Zohar | Concrete Dreams

|December 8, 2011

Iris Zohar is a women of many faces. I wrote about her more than once but this time I must admit, I wasn’t expecting this project…
Her “TableWare” blurs the line between the tableware and the surface on which they are laid out. The way the tableware gently pours itself into the surface is beautiful!
-
I first saw this concrete show stopper at Sotheby’s “Dream Objects”, a contemporary Israeli design selling exhibition, which took place last October. There were many “dream furnitures” in this expo and I’m sure you’ll be hearing about them here soon.

Student Break | Racheli Gabay Schaffner | Frozen Tea Party

|August 9, 2011

Yesterday was all about Peter Pan but today it’s about Alice in wonderland‘s tea party and the Cheshire Cat courtesy of Racheli Gabay Schaffner. Racheli researched the world of two dimensions and was drawn to the photography and animation aspect of it. She wanted to represent a series of rhythmic movements as ceramic objects and she defiantly succeeded freezing this tea party’s madness :)
BTW, one of the artists that Racheli was inspired by is Peter Jansen.
Racheli is a graduate of the Ceramics and Glass Department of Bezalel Academy of Art and Design.

World Break | Pigeon Toe Ceramics | The Whitey Bunch

|July 4, 2011

I’m gonna wrap this 4th of July parade with Lisa Jones and her Pigeon Toe Ceramics clan. This gal has respect for seasonal collections. For her S/S 2011 collection, a.k.a the most beautiful thing on earth right now, Lisa created a family of white perfection.
“Because memories should be created, not collected. Because life is too short to be surrounded by anything less than beautiful. Because design should be timeless and craft should be authentic. Because your objects tell a narrative. Your narrative.” {Lisa Jones}

World Break | Joon & Jung | The Designtellers

|June 3, 2011

The minute I ended up at Joon and Jung’s magical kingdom, I was hooked.
Their New I’m too sad to separate ceramic mugs made me think about the guy in my life who I adore and cherish. The one who believes in me and sticks with me no matter what. I’m sure the two had something completely different in mind but… I decided to share with you my take on it…
Oh… I first saw this project in one of Victor Hunt‘s Designart Documentaries. There is nothing like being able to hear a designer talk about his creation!

World Break | Bethan Lloyd Worthington | Welcome To The Dark Side

|May 31, 2011

If you’re like me, and you hear the name Bethan Lloyd Worthington for the first time, prepare yourself for a big treat! Bethan’s hand-painted tableware made me miss a heartbeat. Such an effortless, delicate and mysterious bundle of perfection! It all began with The Wild Places by Robert MacFarlane. “Drawings and paintings in response to this book were led by the notion of early detail map without information on how places connect. I sought to convey something incomplete, isolated, suggestive of the potential for further exploration, and of disappearance.”

iHome | Irit Goldberg | White Zone

|May 8, 2011

It looks like Irit Goldberg has a master degree in white design.
I think she should start her own design course and I’ll be the first to sign up. Her wrinkled plates and laced trays have a special place in my heart and I know that one of these days they will have a special place on my dinning table…
All I need to do is figure out the dinner table issue first ;)

NY Break | Bailey Doesn’t Bark | Ants, Dots and In Between

|March 18, 2011

Re Jin Lee is one of my idols. Not many people can work beautifully with the white and simple aspect of design.
On the other hand, not many will say something like: “I purposely kept the design very minimal so it goes well with any other tableware”.
When I need a quite moment, I wander into Re Jin’s Bailey Doesn’t Bark web site. She has it all from tableware to jewelry and stationary. The fact that she shares her process and behind the scenes makes me love her even more! Thank you Re Jin for all the beauty you bring to the world!

Nir Meiri | Concrete. Nothing More. Nothing Less

|March 2, 2011

Lately I find concrete as one of the key players of the design scene.
Hadas Shaham and UMAMY are the two that come to mind right away.
-
Since I first bumped into Nir’s concrete plates I’ve looked all over for decent images. Luckily I found it at his facebook page. I love the fact that these plates are so simple and let the food itself talk the talk. It serves as a bare stage for any ingredient or dish to shine through.

Batia Malka | Inside The Womb

|February 9, 2011

As you probably know I’m drawn to all the beautiful things in life and that is what I mostly post about. Batia Malka is a young ceramic artist who touched a soft spot inside me. Her “Inside The Womb” is so disturbing in so many levels but at the same time so sensitive and revealing.
I’m speechless at this point. I leave each one to his thoughts.

Student Break | Ori Sonnenschein | Smell Your Tableware

|January 27, 2011

Ori is a 2010 graduate of the Industrial Design Department of Bezalel Academy of Art and Design. In his “Solskin Peels” graduation project he conducted a material investigation. “I focused on finding a local biodegradable and functional material. I found it in citrus peels. Through simple processing I could produce a lightweight, durable, biodegradable, water resistant material with a pleasant aroma, color and texture kitchen utensils”. What a brilliant idea! I’m loving the fact that your tableware can smell like oranges.

Studio Kahn | Spice It Up

|October 4, 2010

The first exciting news of the day is that now even Studio Kahn has an Etsy Shop!
The other exciting revelation is that the duo, Mey and Boaz, have a stunning new design up of their Sleeve.
“Pidog and Duckster” are oil and vinegar vessels made from ceramic and silicon. “Each one of them can play a role of two different figures, depends where you put its’ head.”
Don’t know what about you, but I sure am waiting for them to land in their Etsy Shop.

Student Break | Amit Farber | My new eating ritual

|September 22, 2010

“iplay with food” made me hear my dad’s voice in my head saying “quit playing with the food!”
“In my work I tried to create a playful new and different eating ritual. I manipulated food products, observed the changes, restrained, exaggerated and finally refined a new aesthetic point of view.”
