Design
עיצוב עברי

Hebrew design is my way to infuse soul into a product. Bringing a thoughtful Jewish consciousness to my work, I mix text sources with contemporary design to add new and significant layers of meaning to an object. The richness of our textual heritage inspires my deep reflection on the design process and its possibilities.

The “Standing Chair” is a link between people, suffering is universal and everyone should be able to nourish a glimmer of optimism and learn to get back up.
