Best of HDW takes a closer look at some of the most exciting projects featured in Design Museum Holon's "Designers Plus Ten" exhibition.
Sahar Batsry was one of few designers featured in the Designers Plus Ten exhibition who also made a presentation to the design panel during Holon Design Week. He was all smiles as he took us through a slideshow of his impressive portfolio, joking that all his designs are prototypes because no one wants to make them. That's a bit self-deprecating, especially since his Full Moon Chair was the only object from an exhibition that includes 41 other designers that was selected to adorn the entrance to Designers Plus Ten.
Once you round the corner, Sahar is again the first designer you meet. His exhibition space includes three projects—a Treenorah from earlier in his career and two more recent pieces, Chair X+1 and Faucet X+1. The Treenorah, which we blogged about on Core77 five years ago, acknowledges that many modern families are both Christian and Jewish, and the green, tree-shaped menorah gives them a way to celebrate both Christmas and Hanukkah.
