Suf (סוּף) – a 33 cm (13″) Seder plate. locally designed and made in Israel.
the pictures are of the limited 2018 edition – a first generation of only 10 pieces, made from the original 3D printed mold with a mirror finish.

This item is sold exclusively through my online store.

A first product from the upcoming “Nudaica” – a modernist approach to judaica items – stunning flowing shapes with dynamic and organic features made by integrating old crafts with advanced CAD technology.

I love creating new shapes. Lately I started taking shapes more seriously and studied some advanced parametric & surfacing tools to achieve a wider set of approaches to making accurate shapes. there is no doubt elegant styling is always exciting, but I’m more concerned about creating objects that are simple, yet the opposite of boring.

This plate was made after a long time thinking what “Secular Tradition” means. at my mother’s house we have a good old ornamented plate which is very special to me – but it does not seem as if such plate would fit my kind of seder. as a Hiloni jewish designer looking at what one could purchase for a better Pesakh experience I sadly observed how nowdays lasercut designs flow the markets. the pieces are banal decorations with holes for small round bowls, which cost a fortune and are far more depressing then the old ones. I know “suf” has a place on my table, not only once every couple of years – but any day.

Passover is all about the way you tell the story of exodus. in an age of smartphones and streaming – I wished for something to keep the family gaze right at the middle of the table. this plate is a suggestion for a clearer medium on which each family could errange their version of the exodus.
