״The theme and design of my collections is an extension of my own personality and its quest to study people and their relations with nature and the environment – a personality that travels among a wide variety of exotic cultures, both ancient and contemporary, eager to experience differences in architectural styles, ritual practices, primacy, minerals, colors, breathtaking landscapes and people.

Each such journey yielded a collection different from its predecessors.

Every item is a one of a kind piece, unique and different from the others, individually designed to suit each customer and reflect the relationship that develops between us.״

Osnat Weingarten

Born in Israel, the youngest of three children whose parents blended the cultures of Eastern Europe and Iran. Our home was full of exotic cooking aromas and alive with everyday creative activity, encouraging the development of natural curiosity and infinite contemplation of nature: Sitting in a margosa tree for hours and sketching its boughs and branches, watercolor painting, sculpting in stone, sewing and knitting. These experiences left their imprint and imparted a childhood love for art and craftsmanship that persists to this day.
