Talila Abraham – Metalace

Metalace's pieces are designed and crafted by Talila Abraham, an Israeli born artist who has a M.Sc in Management Design from the Technion Israeli institute of Technology in Haifa and a B.Sc.T.E in industrial design from the Holon Academic Institute of Technology in Israel. Her designs are inspired from the work of unknown women and merge the unique personal and romantic feeling of handcraft with contemporary materials and advanced technology. Each piece is individually processed and hand-treated for optimal shape and structure leading to a unique and personal product. Talila's original handmade designs are inspired by the work of unknown women and the world of lace fabrics and embroidery. Using advanced metal process technologies the work merges the unique personal and romantic feeling of handcraft with contemporary materials and advanced technology. The designs reflect the desire to preserve the special and personal touch that was an integral part of all handcrafted objects historically. Each piece is individually processed and hand-treated for optimal shape and structure leading to a unique and personal product. Despite the use of industrial materials and technology, Metalace's products retains their authenticity due to the handmade process applied to each item. In the transition from the "language" and texture of textile fabric to the stiffness of stainless steel, they create an art form that that marries the old and the new.
