One of the best meals I had in Israel was a lunch with Naama Steinbock and Idan Friedman (Reddish Studio). After the meal they gave me this beautiful handmade sculpture. It’s actually a creature from Jewish folklore called a Golem, and it’s made entirely of mud.
When I was in Tel Aviv a couple weeks ago, we visited the amazing Aqua Creations headquarters. Here they produce innovative light fixtures and furniture but also these incredible light sculptures.
My first stop in Israel was Studio Kahn, in Jerusalem. Mey and Boaz Kahn got married while attending Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, and have been working together ever since. Their first project together was Fragile, a brilliant collection of ceramics you have to break in order for them to function.
So I’ve been in Israel this past week with designboom, Dezeen, DeTnk, and We Heart and it has been incredible. I will be posting about the trip in detail, but for now here are some cats. Oh, and you can follow @VibeIsrael to keep tabs on what we’re doing out here.
“Crossing Lines” is a wonderful little film following Conor Harrington as he makes work in Tel Aviv, Israel and Bethlehem, Palestine.
