All these are among the works to be presented by 19 Israeli designers at Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum in New York. The curators of the exhibition, which opens on January 27 and runs through April 23, are Ezri Tarazi, the head of the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design's department of industrial design, and Ellen Lupton, a curator of contemporary design at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum in New York.
"The exhibition does not presume to present a conclusive picture of the world of Israeli design," explains Lupton in a call from New York. "We chose works with a philosophical direction that investigate how objects are created and how to make surprising uses of everyday materials."

This is Americas most prestigious design museum!??? There isn't enough happening in Design? What about Materials, Methods, breakthrough products, New Tech products�? Nothing against the work of the Israeli designers but this is weak and at best it shows a lack of imagination?
