Gal Gaon

Gal Gaon is an Israeli architect and designer born in 1967 and based in Tel Aviv. His practice revolves around what he calls abstract nature: organic, ellipsoidal shapes assembled into abstract compositions, made of wood and stone and carved by a team of local artisans.

Trained as an architect, he moved the logic of buildings into furniture — one-off tables, desks, benches, consoles and stools in which the grain and the block dictate the form. His studio and gallery at 44 Montefiore Street host his own production and a growing collection of collectible pieces, presented in Milan during Design Week.
