25.01.2022 What do you hear about Israel lately? Perception is reality, we are informed by mass media which affects our perception of reality. #news #media #culture #perception #isreal #menorah #candles #culturecliche #melbournedesignweek2018 #ngv #melbournedesignweek #yandesign_studio @ngvmelbourne

23.01.2022 Menorah / Blood Light Israel will always be home. It is where I was born and raised and where my family still live. My connection to this country is beyond memories, its in my veins, my blood. Israel leads the world in the number of scientists and technicians in the workforce. Being one myself, it seemed appropriate to harness my technological knowledge and create a contemporary interpretation to the historic Menorah - a candelabra used in ancient times to illuminate the ho...ly temple in Jerusalem. Practicing as a luminaires designer and maker, Ive used addressable LEDs to pro-gram a light show that models 7 days of light. 5 meters of RGB LEDs sectioned into 7 parts, where 6 parts are equal and the 7th is longer to symbolise the Shamash (He-brew: " ,attendant"). Each section lights simultaniasly with the Shamash for 30 sec-onds. One by one they flow into the next like a stream of blood light. When fully lit, a rainbow appears, symbolising an additional aspect of who I am. See more

21.01.2022 Cuckoo Clock / Kuckuck! - Wer bin ich? (Cuckoo! Who am I?) For me a cuckoo clock is the pinnacle of German tackiness representing backward traditionalism combined with highly engineered intricate and precise mechanisms. In general a cuckoo clock will reveal a little bird leaning forward out of an opening at the top each full hour which is often accompanied by a cuckoo sound or music.... My cuckoo clock reveals a german icon each full hour which represents how Germany is generally perceived nowadays by the rest of the world. But it also symbolises the struggle of the German identity itself. Even though Germany is widely seen as one of the leading nations in the world the people are not allowed to be too proud of it due to its terrible past. With the burden of the Holocaust on their shoulders the German people are forced into a constant self reflexion about their own identity, nationality, patriotism and role in todays world. The current massive influx of refugees and migrants and resulting cultural clashes made this even harder. Through the fully mirrored clock your own reflection is what you see first, distorted by the fully mirrored hands, questioning yourself each time you look at time passing by, even if it is just to quickly check your looks on the way out.

20.01.2022 Cuckoo Clock / Never Forget Growing in Israel, I was conditioned to associate Germany with the holocaust. Once a year on the exact same time and date, a 2 minute siren paralyses the coun-try. The entire nation stand still lowering their heads down; remembering, reflecting and paying respect. Germans come across as precise, neat, rigid and uber pragmatic. The notion of time (clock), siren (cuckoo) and memory have enticed me to create a three parts timepiece that once a day aligns to thrust a bold message: NEVER FORGET. The design was influenced by the way I perceive Germany and Germans; clean, rigid, transparent, accurate and punctual.

09.01.2022 Thank you The Sydney Morning Herald for the write up and support. "Decoding Design flips that premise: sometimes an outsider sees your culture more clearly. Three designers from three nationalities interpret three traditional objects from each other's culture: the Jewish menorah, the German cuckoo clock and the Chinese pagoda. Yan Huang, a former car interior designer for GM, uses her styling skills to turn the decorative cuckoo clock into a sleek postmodern clock that lays ...eggs. Huang's cuckoo comments on the bird's extinction and German immigration policies. Are there too many eggs in the nest? Meanwhile, she transforms her own cultural icon, the pagoda, into an incense burner. After a long stretch of continuous financial prosperity China has become an increasingly materialistic society and a spiritual vacuum has arisen with a generation of people searching for a deeper meaning in life, according to Huang: "There is a resurgence of spiritual quest in China."

07.01.2022 Pagoda / Air Temple Thinking about China, the connotations arising are Copy Culture and Pollution.Air pollution has become a major issue in China and poses a threat to Chinese public health. Rip-os of all sorts are common. Yet copy-ing, whether a painting or a literary work, has a long tradition in China. It was a way of learning, of showing admiration and respect. Combining both notions into a product, led me to create an exact copy of the famous Temple of Heaven and fit...ting it as an air purifier. The four-parts wooden pagoda, houses an electric fan in its base, biochemical filter of activated charcoal granules on the first floor and mechanical filtration sponge at the top. The sponge can also take essential oils thus improving psychological or physi-cal well-being (Aromatherapy).. . . #melbournedesign #melbournedesignweek #melbournedesignweek2018 #ngv #ilanel #pagoda #airpurifier #copyculture #handmade #handcrafted #turnedtimber See more

02.01.2022 Nest in the West. The Cuckoo clock that lays eggs. The cuckoo clock is viewed as one of the Germanys cultural clichés, cuckoos from the black forest used to drop eggs in other birds nests, and trick them to taking care of them. The German cuckoo is facing extinction; shrinking natural habitats have led to a reduction in the number of surrogate nests, which in turn led to fewer cuckoos.... In terms of German social landscape, recent years has seem Germany taking in large numbers of immigrants and refugees which seem to have caused more Germans fear losing the life style they are accustomed to. Are there too many eggs in the nest? #yandesign_studio #melbournedesignweek #ngv #designinstallation #collectables #interiordecor #cuckooclock #sculpture #huonpine #timepiece #decodingdesign
