DesignistDream is about art and design created from, by or in Israel. As an expat American who moved to Israel, I found myself really captivated by - and unaware of - the sophistication of Israeli art and design. I realized that despite all the big art, design and craftblogs - design*sponge, core77, apartment therapy, et al - none really focuses on this niche. More importantly, and personally, with all that people hear and see about Israel in the news, I found it important to talk about how normal things can be around here. How art production and creative expression continue and how universal design tastes and aesthetics can be. So, I'm proud to call DesignistDream the first and only blog on the subject of art and design from, by and in Israel.

Even if I wasn't married to the author of this blog, or if she wasn't the mother of my child, I would still heap a tremendous amount of praise on Designist Dream. Ziva's got quite the eye for aesthetics, a great writing style and a great sense of humor.
All lovers of/or those interested in industrial design, furniture and fashion in Israel should check out this blog. It is outstanding.
