pini leibovich

has been an active designer in tel aviv since 1989,
developing products for israeli companies, and teaching
at the ‘vital center of design studies’, also in tel aviv.
however, whilst pini designs for industrial manufacturers,
he also continues his own personal design research;
experimenting with form, colours and materials.

pini studied industrial design at bezalel academy of art
and design in jerusalem, but after graduating struggled
to find work as a designer so went to work on the factory
floor. with this hands on experience pini then opened his
own studio in 1997. his work focuses on order and disorder,
the energy of organic things, with which he works to
design systems that reflect nature and man.
the user's involvment is integral to the object’s success.
this works because of the systems leibovich puts into place,
with out instructing directly what the user must do.
he aims to give spirit to things, very little of his work is static.

pini’s designs encourage the involment of the user and
stimulate a feeling of happiness, as he uses materials
in a playfull, and yet structured, manner.
