Neil Nenner & Avihai Mizrahi
Product Design
“Our approach to design and art is rooted in a desire to disrupt the familiar. We take everyday objects - those that often go unnoticed - and reframe them, not just as functional items, but as vessels of meaning, emotion, and critique. We are drawn to the mundane because it carries an honesty, a direct link to daily life, yet it also holds the potential to be transformed into something poetic or provocative”
Neil Nenner & Avihai Mizrahi are two experienced designers whose collaborations are driven by shared curiosity. Neil Nenner is head of the Industrial Design department at Shenkar and Mizrahi is a lecturer at HIT. For them, design is not merely a means to solve problems but a way to ask questions about culture, consumption, memory, and identity. By placing simple materials and familiar symbols in a new context, they explore the tension between aesthetics and functionality, humor and seriousness, reality and fiction.
Neil Nenner & Avihai Mizrahi were nominated for the 2025 Edmond de Rothschild Design Award for Established Product Designers.
