Presented by Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum in New York City, Solos: New Design from Israel is an exhibition of work by nineteen Israeli designers who are exploring the sculptural, material, functional, and conceptual possibilities of useful things. Each object selected for the exhibition—from a table or chair to a lamp or vase—conveys a powerful physical presence as well as a spirit of speculation and introspection.
The first museum exhibition of contemporary Israeli design in the U.S., New Design from Israel includes approximately 25 works, including prototypes, experimental objects, and production pieces. Multimedia projections illuminate the broader context of Israeli life and design practice. All designers featured in the exhibition live and work in Israel, including Eilon Armon, Gad Charny, Chanan de Lange, Ami Drach and Dov Ganchrow, Tal Gur, Safi Hefetz, Yaacov Kaufman, Pini Leibovich, Raviv Lifshitz, Alon Meron, Willy Mizrachi, Ayala Serfaty, Nati Shamia-Opher, Sharon Shechter, Yuval Tal, Asaaf Warshavsky, and Zivia.
Solos: New Design from Israel is made possible by Connie and Harvey Krueger, Barbara and Morton Mandel, and Isaac Kaye. Additional support is provided by Dr. Marcella Brenner and The Polonsky Foundation.The exhibition is organized by guest curator Ezri Tarazi, Head of the Industrial Design Graduate Program at Bezalel Academy for Art and Design, Jerusalem; and Ellen Lupton, Curator of Contemporary Design at
