Congratulations to Esther Knobel on receiving the 2022 Edmund de Rothschild Design Award!

Israeli artist Esther Knobel is a highly original thinker, investigator, and maker, strongly motivated by, and attached to, such themes as family and nationality. She is especially sensitive to the power and importance of making, craftsmanship, and artisanal skills. Knobel works with multiple materials in numerous processes, including assemblage, enamels, electroforming, and textile techniques — such as knitting and embroidery with metal wire — and object re-purposing.
