WHO
OTOTO DESIGN LTD. Sometimes they appear while taking a shower, sometimes while stuck in a traffic jam; and every so often, one will show up in your dreams. They do not pop up every day, but when they do, we are delighted by them. Good ideas are rare – when we get them, we like to share.

ARE WE?
Ori Saidi and Daniel Gassner met in Tel Aviv at Ascola School of art and Design in 1999. It was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. While at school, they designed a spiral-shaped light fixture together – a project which would later become the prototype for one of Ototo’s bestselling items – “poing” fruit basket. In 2004 they decided to open a design studio together, and named it OTOTO which in Hebrew means “any minute now”, with the understanding that something new and exciting can happen at any given moment; that the next great idea is just around the corner, waiting to arrive. They started to develop products in small scale production, manufacturing each one by hand, in Kibbutz Kfar Menachem’s old ceramics
factory. Demand for their product grew steadily, and in 2007 the studio moved to Tel Aviv, and the product line – now constantly growing, mass-produced and distributed over the world – includes functional household products with a humoristic / ironic / unexpected twist. The studio’s unique products can now be found in museums, art galleries and design expos, as well as in home design stores in your area. Daniel and Ori continue to look for new ideas, with a true passion for creation and the desire to share their work with anyone who appreciates creative design as much as they do.

OUR TEAM
DANIEL
ORI
Growing up in Jerusalem, Daniel was surrounded with different traditions and a variety of human textures that made him a tolerant person. His open mindedness brings creativity to his designs. Daniel loves to explore new fresh and unique ideas and ways of expressions.
Even as a child, Ori was already casting ceramic molds in his father’s factory, learning how every idea goes through a complex process en route to becoming a finished product. While roaming the green hills surrounding the kibbutz he absorbs nature’s colors and shapes, bringing them with him to the Tel Aviv studio every day. But it is only at night, after watching cartoons with his daughter, and a minute before he falls asleep, that he gets his best ideas.
GASSNER
SAIDI
Daniel earned his Masters of Industrial Design from the Domus Academy in Milan, Italy, graduating with honors.
Ori is also a recipient of the 2001 / 2002 Israeli-American Sharet Foundation scholarship for industrial design.
