FRIEDMAN BENDA – BLEACHED II BY EREZ NEVI PANA
Friedman Benda is a vital platform capable of giving the best visibility to established and emerging artists and designers, always looking for the most innovative techniques and unique approaches. Bleached II by Israeli designer Erez Nevi Pana wants to be the visual consequence of mineral extraction at the Dead Sea. Utilizing the highly saline water of an industrial evaporation pond to submerge the aluminum structure of his furniture design wants to be a wider call – through the crystallized salt that now adorns the pieces – to the human-nature interactions and consequences.
