Special feature: designed in Israel

Dezeen in Israel: we've noticed a big increase in interesting design coming out of Israel in recent years, so last week we visited Tel Aviv to see recent projects from both established local designers and recent graduates of schools in this up-coming design nation. We'll publish our pick of the best projects over the next few days, but in the meantime we've grouped together all our stories about furniture and products designed in Israel. See all the stories »

You can also watch Dezeen editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs and Tel Aviv-born designer Shay Alkalay discussing the rise of design in Israel in a movie we filmed in Cologne earlier this year. Watch the movie »
