My Milan design week part 2

The Paola C.  gallery concentrates on table objects and encouraging young designers from all over the world. I was really overwhelmed by the beauty of the glass pieces. http://paolac.com     I was sure this is a Scandinavian company at first glance, everything made of wood, everything seems so clean lean and thin that there…

My Milan design week part 1

This is not another post on Milan design week, I missed it. Not really missed it, just didn’t go. My favorite thing in Milan is the option to get lost and find treasures where you least expect them, when there aren’t many people at the same place so you can actually see something… I did…

NUVIST

  First there was the pink table. I just stared at it for hours and hours, dreaming about a huge study that I would build just for him! (Yes, I have this tendency to animate my favorite objects). And then I realized they do so much more amazing designs and you know I melt when…

D*Haus Dynamic

I have a problem with a mathematical/geometrical formula, when it comes to architecture. I accept the fact that scale is a very important issue, one that proved itself along history – however, when it comes to architecture I truly believe in identifying the genetic code of the city/location etc' and letting the project "be born"…

Za Bor parasite offices | עיצוב משרדים טפילים

  When I presented my idea for my final project at the Academy every one went crazy. I wanted to do a project about parasite architecture, its value in small countries like Israel and its value as a way to renew an old city like Jerusalem. They called me insane, they called me provocative and…

tree house design | עוד בתי עץ

עלה ירוק | indoor herb garden

You can tell Bas Van Der Veer is really young because he has no commitment issues yet; he attaches every thing, a vase to a table, a vase to a bathroom wall, plant pots to each other, a bench to a table and so on Can you imagine what it does to some one with…

My Dream Bed | מיטה מעוצבת

You know how little girls dream of being a princess, having a canopy royal bed and live in a palace? Well that's not me My perfect bed has always been my grandparent's bed. They brought it from Poland when they moved to Israel, it was huge from dark wood with a very high back board…

Dream Bathroom | אמבטיות מעוצבות

    I haven't had a bath in four years! Wait…before you block this dirty girl's blog…it's not that, I take tons of showers, for god's sake I live in Israel, it's boiling hot here, we take three showers a day! But a bath, when you soak for hours in oils and salts, and soap…

בית על עץ | Tree house design

  Seven years ago I found myself at a crossroad that demanded a complete change of atmosphere and a lot of silence, to hear myself for a change, I flew toThailand. Now you have to understand, I'm an urban girl, even the meaning of my last name – Ironi, is urban in Hebrew, for real!…

MY FISH FETISH | שם הרי גולן

One of the things I discovered in Thailand was that water makes me happy and calm, from spending time at the beach on the island and then going from fishpond to fishpond inside Bangkok, I discovered something I didn't know abut myself I knew when I got back that I had to have a fish…
