Tal Batit is a graduate of the industrial design department at Holon Institute of Technology, Israel. During his schooling, he developed an interest for ceramics and started researching the material, while trying to break down traditional processes and challenge them.
Batit combines ancient ceramic traditions with a contemporary palette, giving a unique modern touch to his incredible creations while keeping the artisanal quality of the natural materials. According to him, his work “always deals with contradictions, dissonances, contrasts – both textural and visual.”
His latest work, called “Ethnic : Synthetic,” consists of a number of shapes with different heights, producing a three-level carpet. “Every carpet is made up of hundreds and thousands of ceramic pieces, created by slip-casting into molds,” he explained. “The different pieces are interwoven and create a three-dimensional pattern as a new and modern interpretation of a carpet. It plays with the element of depth and creates shade and hidden colors, giving new life to the graphic element of the carpet.”
The Batit Studio, which specializes in innovative sculptures, vases, and tabletop accessories is located in Tel-Aviv, Israel. Check out some of it’s creations:
