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…

Joey Ruiter | אופנוע שטח, ההגדרה המחודשת

Sometimes I imagine myself sitting in front of James Lipton in the actor's studio, just because I want to talk about my least favorite word which is EGO I feel like this word, the meaning of it, has ruined every good piece of our world, our relationships, the politics, the planet, we ruined it because…

designer chocolate | חלום מתוק

  How much of a chocolate addict am I? Well, just a small example: when I got married a million years ago, (not married anymore), not only did we exchange rings, we also exchanged chocolates! We each got one petit four for the other and fed each other. The judge was so shocked that she…

tree house design | עוד בתי עץ

  When I was ten we moved to South Africa for a couple of years. It was the early eighties, the apartheid at its peak and I was mortified I come from a family of holocaust survivors, it is something that defines who you are from the day you are born and for me, to see…

glass fish bowl | הבית של דג הזהב

Well you probably know by now how much I love bubbles, fish bowls and design which is art, that makes me feel something So when I first saw this fish bowl I nearly shouted OMG IT'S GONNA FALL And this is exactly what I want people who come into my house to feel I can…

סרט צרפתי, סרט יפני | Le Ballon Rouge

I always talk about understanding art from your feelings, not knowing what the artist meant to say, but what it makes you feel first it's important to learn afterwards, especially when there is an important message behind it but first, I believe you have to have a personal connection and no, it's not a test,…

פיקניק | the perfect picnic (picNYC)

  Hopefully by now you understand I have an obsession with bringing the outdoors indoors, the whole "tiny apartment issue" I have, well most of the people who live in the city But this table is the BOMB! I don't know if it will fit better inside or in the garden but I love it…

Bubbletree | משחק בועות

It's like I died and gone to heaven, all of my favorite things in one: a bubble, a beautiful      small space that brings nature inside and a beautiful design. I just have to think of the soundtrack to this scenery and although I really want to say Miles Davis, July Andrews just rings…

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…

כמעט יודאיקה | en & is megaphone

If  I could afford it I would buy any gadget there is out there but apart from the money issue, the problem is the cables and wires that grow and grow…sometimes I have nightmares that they become snakes that choke me during my sleep As I already wrote about my life changing experience in Thailand,…

אוכל למחשבה | food for thoughts

I know it's not easy to understand but I love cooking, much more than eating There are two parts to this process, the joy of preparation itself, when I get lost in my own world, I become one with the materials, there's no one else in the world I'm known for my singing while I…
