Kelly Wearstler and Hagit Pincovici Launch Third Nature

Hagit Pincovici is a third-generation Israeli artisan whose critically acclaimed works marry traditional craft techniques with rich materiality across a range of furniture, sculpture, and lighting designs.

Following years of partnership with Kelly Wearstler, the duo have collaborated to produce an exclusive collection for the home. Inspired by the geographic similarities between their two cities – Pincovici’s native Tel Aviv and Kelly Wearstler’s home in Los Angeles, the pair convey their mutual affinity for nature through a collection of functional objects and fine art sculptures.

Pincovici worked closely with bronze artisans in Italy to bring Third Nature to life. The striking five-piece collection features desert flora common to both Tel Aviv and Los Angeles, reborn through inventive use of traditional bronze casting techniques, emphasising the organic forms and texture of the date palm tree.

A date branch is sacrificed for each Phoenix Console, and then reborn using a life-cast technique - the result is a design that is delicate yet strong.

Desert Sculpture is composed of a palm segment hand-selected by the artist; each piece is truly bespoke with every base hand-sculpted individually.
