Hoshen Designs is an exclusive arts & crafts studio based in Israel. What started as a family workshop founded by Jonathan & Elad Geifman is today representing a collaboration of artists and designers who share a passion for exploring exciting new designs that express their artistic ingenuity.
A SMILE
A sense of wonder, the joy in looking at beautiful things - these special moments occur around us every day, some hidden, some revealed. Yet, we seldom recognize them, and rarely stop to simply appreciate what is right before our eyes.
