Ayala Serfaty
Soma at Design Miami 2009
Miami Art Fair 2009
2/3/4/5 December 2009

For Design Miami 2009 we are pleased to present the work of Israeli lighting designer Ayala Serfaty. Her Soma lights are a collection of sculptural lights created from glass filament and polymer-skin to form a cocoon like lamp. Citing Eva Hesse’s deliberate use of non-traditional materials to push the artistic boundaries as a key source of inspiration, Serfaty utilized modern industrial materials to expose the delicacy and behavioral nuances of the object while communicating her interpretation of nature’s beautiful and complex structures and forms with the outside world.

For Design Miami, the exhibition will consist of older works as well as new works specially commissioned for the fair. There will be variety of works available ranging from small to large pieces as well as wall and chandelier lighting.
