ROOTS
The work explores the concept of roots through an intimate, almost microscopic view of the material itself. From a geometric framework, wide leather strips emerge and twist in organic motion, echoing roots growing through soil.
It examines the intersection of nature and craft, proposing an alternative reading of leather — not as a soft or decorative medium, but as a constructive element defined by movement, volume, and strength.
Through an abstraction of roots, the work seeks to reveal what exists beneath the surface: the forces that sustain, nourish, and connect.

HEALED
This series of vases was born from a collaboration with four local tattoo artists and stems from an exploration of the intersection between craft, material, and narrative. Tattooing, as a technique of inscription, transforms leather into a medium for personal and emotional expression - a surface that carries an indelible story. These tattooed vases continue the ancient tradition of decorating vessels, using tattoo as a contemporary form that connects body and object, past and future cultures, and traditional craft with design innovation.
In collaboration with tattoo artists: Jenny Pokryvailo, Noa Margalit, Omri Goldzak, and Amit Kaplan

REBLOOMING
“REBLOOMING" explores the tension between material and form, between rigidity and softness. The work draws inspiration from transformative moments in nature - blooming, retreating, and renewal - merging the firmness of the material with organic movement, allowing it to adopt soft and delicate gestures without losing its essence.

SLICE
The 'SLICE' collection finds its roots in the unique limitations of leather as a raw material. The vases are strategically divided, allowing the material to express its full potential. This collection creates a dynamic interaction between the material and its surroundings, presenting a harmonious combination of form and function.

Manipulations
Part of a series of vases made of genuine leather that underwent various manipulations resulting from the material study of leather as a raw material. The work examines the hidden qualities and historical baggage of leather in relation to the principle of “truth to material,” according to which every material has an essential and natural quality that should be present in the work. Human manipulation—drawing parallels between the animal hide and human skin using the needle tattoo technique; technological manipulation—a combination of computerized design with laser etching technology on a traditional bolt of leather; and natural manipulation— creating patterns through the natural reaction of wet leather to a metallic material.

TOHA
The TOHA collection vases are manufactured using a smart and efficient molding system that enables the production of a rich variety of vases. The system is based on the 'wet forming' traditional working technique, which enhances the leather's natural features to create three-dimensional works.
The collection's name was inspired by the form of the molds used in its production. Each mold holds its own individual letter, and their combination results in a sophisticated diversity. Every vase is one of a kind and bears its own exclusive numbering and stamp to assure its authenticity.

Luminance
The project aims to create a new language of lighting fixtures that emphasize innovation, Three-dimensionality, and unique aesthetics while preserving the raw qualities of each material.The lighting fixtures celebrate a relationship of contrast - soft versus hard, constructive versus flexibility, 3D versus 2D, and especially the advanced printing technology combined with simple and familiar textiles.
Project made in collaboration with stratasys Ltd. A company that manufactures and markets 3D printers, a leader in the development of 3D printers based on an advanced technology called POLYJET.
