Studio Armadillo is the Tel Aviv design studio of Anat Stein and Hadas Kruk, two friends who met studying industrial design at the Holon Institute of Technology and opened their studio after graduating in 1997. Alongside years of industrial design work for companies and entrepreneurs, they built a Judaica line of their own, Armadillo Judaica Lovers.
Their inspiration is a mix of what they love in design: the simplicity of origami, geometry and mathematics, the playfulness of games and puzzles, and modernism. For their origami mezuzahs, the designer first folds a paper model and then makes it in ceramic. Newer pieces include 3D-printed clay menorahs and mezuzahs, op-art challah and matzah covers digitally printed on velvet and canvas, and geometric table runners. Pieces are made in their studio, with select components crafted by specialized workshops across Israel.
As they put it, "as secular women in modern Israel, choosing how to express our Jewish identity is a statement," and they approach Jewish ritual objects as design briefs open to interpretation. The Jewish Museum in New York purchased their work "Linen" for its modern Judaica collection in 2004, and their work has been shown there and at San Francisco's Contemporary Jewish Museum.
