Soft Pillows
Prototypes of outdoor concrete project in the shapes of pillow seats.
Thrilling tension between soft and hard, material and form, image and meaning reflected in the lightest conceptual way. Showing an illusion between already seen and experienced, between soft and hard element, between cognitive perception of material and imagination, an outdoor object with an interior language, a soft shape that both welcomes you and looks familiar yet looks as if taken from our private and intimate places, the softest illusions. With this installation we wanted to start a dialogue between the viewer and the strong potential hidden in concrete.
Fantasy, dream and vision.

Stix Table
A wooden table based on a self-supporting system.
No structure and screws but basic simple elements
assembled together by intersection of pieces.
The idea is based on a table top which is made of solid wood
assembled together with 4 triangle legs.
Objects get locked naturally into each other - using the gravitation
as a supporting force. This system provides an easy opportunity
of a nice variety of color, material combination and finishing.
Profiles of the legs create an interesting detail in the table top.
Designed by Lucie Koldova and Dan Yeffet.
Launched during Designblok 2010.

Home Fitness is a multi-functional set of objects intended for the interior. Objects serve as contemporary furniture pieces designed specially for stretching your body and easy exercising. The dimensions of each piece of furniture are optimised in order to serve both functions well. The objects will be attractive to an active demographic who enjoy stretching, working out and shaping their bodies. The goal of my work was to transform the conceptual idea into these actual series production pieces. In objects pretending to be furniture inherently, you are constantly revealing hidden meanings..
