Something in the way Julia Dely illustrates reminds me of my favorite childhood books. It’s not that easy to take you back in time with only an illustration… Times in which everything was Innocent and not so complicated. Times in which all you had to do is decide if you want to play in the sand box or read a book… Anyways, Julia’s Zuppa Atelier is a place in which I find the inner child in me. Her sensitive illustrations find a home in these white and welcoming tableware. A lot of black ink and a dash of color, that’s the right combination in my book!

Next week I’ll visit the “If There is No Bread, Let Them Eat Cake” exhibition. This exhibition examines the fine line between culinary, art and design. I’ll tell you much more after I see it all but until then, I have no choice but to share with you Shira Barzilay’s interpretation to this famous phrase by Marie Antoinette.
Shira, one of my favorite fashion illustrators, created the Feed Me series. In her own charming way she took five random cake plates and dressed them with her fun/happy/passionate illustrations. And if you ask me, the red cherry on top of the hats should be her trade mark!

I once tried to paint on the cute Munny by KidRobot. Trust me when I say that it was far from pretty! I’m only sharing with you this dark little detail because I bumped into the illustrated world of Lena Hanzel and I felt like I found someone who can do an awesome job! Lena, the one behind Room for Emptiness (I’m in love with her brand name), only needs a black marker and a few white ceramics and she is ready to go. If only I could buy each and every piece, my life would be complete…
BTW, Lena’s creations remind me of Roni Brot’s Illustrated Break.

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!

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!
