Gal Gaon

Architect and designer Gal Gaon’s (Israeli, b. 1967) custom work includes tables, desks, benches, consoles, and stools that marry the fields of fine art and design. His multi-disciplinary creative philosophy is reflected through contradictions in his work: his works are clean and sleek, injected with an aesthetic edge. The wood he selects is built to emphasize its differences with stark contrasts between deep black and light wood panels or wood grains oriented in opposing directions. His works are designed and manufactured in Israel.

Gal Gaon received his degree in architecture from Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem and earned an EMBA from Tel Aviv University. He currently serves as the head of the interior design department at the Holon Academic Institute of Technology with architect Nini Warshavsky. Coming from a family of creatives, Gaon continues his familial legacy: his father, Isaaca, founded the Department of Design and Architecture at the Israel Museum and was its curator for nearly 30 years; Gaon’s mother and sisters are all also involved in the art world.

Gaon’s work has been exhibited widely and has been featured in publications including Architectural Digest and T: The New York Times Style Magazine.
