outcasts vases

Outcast Vases are inspired by the plaster molds from slipcasting to create final objects in plaster, capturing both beauty of both form and the method, without the functionality of the ceramics that are the usual casting result.

mino collection

Mino adds streamlined, geometric shapes to the atelier's range of floor lamps. The pieces may also be looked at as light screens and the biggest shade can act as a room divider for larger spaces. Instead of sculpting the silk on hand bent metal, it is sculpted over a specially developed polycarbonate, vacuum formed shell lit with energy saving CFL bulbs. Another special feature of this collection is the option of two silk colors in one shade. The shape together with the envelope silk draping, gives the shades an elegant yet humble expression.

Design by Ayala Serfaty with Benad Dar, for Aqua.

water balance

'Water Balance' is a flower vase with simple design, and a wooden structure in white ash wood characterized by two stainless steel elements, a vial container placed on one side and a sliding weight on the opposite side. Components able to balance the structure using the principle of the levers, maintaining, until at the appropriate time, a perfect balance. An elegant solution than through a simple and at the same time fascinating operation is capable of giving life to a wall vase that visually communicates the need for water in an intuitive way.

city built out of bread

In a lengthy ordeal – eight months preparation, six months photography – a city sculptured from bread is left alone to the forces of nature. What at first appears to be a freshly golden-brown of normal bread eventually adopts psychedelic coloration yellows, oranges, and greens from mold and who-knows-what other growths. Towers crumble into uncomfortably fuzzy piles of crumbs and gray debris.
