Yael Mer + Shay Alkalay
England
Yael Mer and Shay Alkalay started working together as colleagues after spending many years living together and sharing thoughts and ideas and everything in between. Yael focuses primarily on turning two-dimensional sheet materials into curvaceous functional forms, while Alkalay is fascinated by how things move, function and react. They work together as ‘Raw-Edges’ with the joint aim of creating things that have never been seen before.
