In past years, I used to be a professional ballerina and ballet teacher (I graduated the Israeli Academy for Music and Dance, located in Jerusalem).

While working as a dancer and teacher, I fell in love with sculpture and learned basic pottery throwing techniques . One day, following a request from a shopkeeper who saw my work, I began to produce ceramic lamps. To my surprise and delight, it grow into a business which developed far beyond my expectation.
I had to decide whether to continue my dancing career or to start a new job, so I decided to dedicate all my time to lighting design .

The design process in the studio reflects my love to the row unpolished clay material and in addition my love to modern minimalist design. I design lighting fixtures using many different clay materials and a variety of work techniques. The surprising new results of the lighting fixtures coming out of the kiln always intrigued me. It is important to me that apart from aesthetics, the lighting will be functional and will integrate with the space in which it is located .

My husband, David, works in the business with me. his role is marketing , shipping and the electrical assembly of lighting fixtures . We enjoy working together , and turning the dreams of our clients into reality, we will be happy to do that for you.

I feel blessed and proud when my lighting fixtures perform a leading role in any location.

I am thrilled to know that my lamps are now displayed in many stores and houses in Israel and abroad.
