Portrait of Jonathan Sapir

Jonathan Sapir

Jonathan Sapir is a material-driven designer whose practice is rooted in material research and experimentation. For the past eight years, he has worked across ceramics, glass, wood, metal and textiles, developing a multidisciplinary approach through hands-on exploration.

His current work focuses on creating contemporary objects through unexpected material combinations. Transparency plays a central role in his work, inviting new ways of experiencing the relationship between interior and exterior while revealing the meeting points between different materials. Through this approach, familiar forms are seen from a new perspective.

Based in Jerusalem, Jonathan is currently studying Glass Design at the Department of Ceramic and Glass Design, Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design.
