イスラエルのハイファ出身、美術講師/学芸員・ジャーナリスト、現在はアートキュレーターの母と、鉄工所を経営する金属加工職人の父の元に生まれる。母の影響でアートに触れ芸術の要素を学ぶ一方、父の鉄工場で、鉄や機械と工具とともに物心付く前から遊び、育ち、工場周囲の家具製作、車・バイク、ボート修理といった個人経営の父の友人を訪ねては仕事を眺め、教わり技術を身につけた。

”見えて触れるあらゆる物の、素材や構造、その性質を見つめて理解しようと生きてきた自分に、作るということはとても自然なコト。難しい課題をどう解決するか、技術的ソリューションを見つけることが大好き。”

高校を中退し父の仕事を手伝いながら家具の制作を始め、様々な材質を組みわせ試行錯誤を繰り返し自分のスタイルを確立。

テクニオン工科大学で建築・インテリアを学び、二級建築士を取得。在学中から5年間製図を教え、父の仕事に計10年以上働き金属加工の技術を得ました。

2007年インドで妻アキコと出会い、ヒマラヤ山脈での登山中、車両道路も携帯電話もないシンプルで自然と繋がった暮らしの中に、本当の豊かさを体験した経験が生き方の軸となり、また制作へも影響しています。インド滞在後により自然と調和した暮らしを求め日本に移住し、2015年日本で事業をスタート。現在は、自然豊かな田舎で妻の亜希子と４人の子供たちと暮らし、日々制作しています。

Born in 1983 in Haifa, Israel, to a mother who is a journalist and art lecturer, currently an art curator, and a father who is a metal fabricator and runs his independent business. I was exposed to the art world and learned about the elements of art through my mother while growing up "playing" with metal, tools and experiencing various machines at my father's workshop since early childhood. The factory is located in the center of a very rich metal industry, also surrounded by other workshops such as carpenters, furniture makers, car/ motorcycle garages, boat repair yard, masonry factory, glass pane manufacturers, and more, I often went visiting the neighbors to watch and lend a hand, learning from the old generation skilled craftsman and acquiring the skills.

I didn't find my place in school, later dropping out of high school at the age of 17, I started working with my father daily, creating furniture in my free time, experimenting with combining various materials and establishing my own style. While working in my father's business for over a decade, I acquired more metal fabrication skills and later obtained a second-class architect degree at the Technion institute of technology where I taught drafting for five years.

Creating things comes naturally to me, I've always viewed the world with an awareness of materials, structures and production techniques. I love figuring out how to solve problems and finding technical solutions.

My wife Akiko and I met in 2007 while traveling in India, hiking in the Himalayas, experiencing true richness in simple mountain life, connected to nature with no roads or cell phones yet. This experience became the core of sustainable living affecting manufacturing as well. Later we moved to Japan in search of harmonious life with nature, opening our business in 2015 with the goal of enriching people's lives with unique handmade items, created with passion and care for details.Today we are parenting our four beautiful children who love the experience of creating in the workshop and the excitement of nature being a part of our daily life.
