Rotem Nir is both a product designer and a cook. Her creations open the eyes, water the mouth and tickle the brain.
Growing up in a close knit family, the round dining table, its setting, the food served and the process of making it was as important as the daily gathering itself.
For Rotem, cooking was never enough. She sought an all encompassing culinary experience.
After serving for 2 years in the Israeli Army, she studied Interior Architecture in Tel-Aviv.
Desiring to fuse her passions, she began looking for a way to bring food out of the kitchen and into the design lab - so she enrolled in the Industrial Design program of the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem.
While there, she was able to cleverly channel the assignments given to her in culinary ways, designing objects such as an Oreo cookie opener, a loaf of bread, a plate for two and a lamp of porcelain dishes. The pinnacle of her time at Bezalel was designing and realizing a whole conceptual event for 70 guests.
Today, Rotem's unique talent and sensibilities are being fulfilled in her work as a food stylist. Her creations are frequently published in food magazines, books, commercial packaging and are eaten by her followers. She continues to challenge the limits of her discipline.
Rotem currently weighs 62 Kg.
