My name is Amit Bazri, son of an Israeli father and a Dutch mother, and the father of a completely Israeli family. As a child I grew up in the Netherlands surrounded by waterways, streams and forests, and the natural tree has accompanied me all my life. In my youth I came to Israel for idealistic reasons and also after love…. I started a family here and found myself in the desert, in Arad. Seemingly an arid place, but here of all places I met the tree again as a rare and precious material. I follow the principles of sustainability and green economy, and naturally I found the combination of my principles with my love. I travel and look for tree trunks and even wood scraps that ended their lives in old furniture, create a new life in them and transform them into works that maintain the natural flow of the tree in the way it grows, and yet manage to be practical as furniture and tools at home. My creations come out of the soul and the heart and are dictated by the tree from which they are created.
