Sarit Shani Hay

Tel Aviv-based award-winning designer, Sarit Shani Hay has focused on design for children for over 25 years. A pioneer in the field of children's environments, her creative practice is rooted in a deep belief in the positive impact a well-designed environment can have on a child’s well-being and development. After receiving a post-graduate diploma with distinctions from London’s Chelsea College of Art & Design, Shani Hay launched her eponymous design studio in 1995. Since then, she has become Israel’s leading interior and furniture design studio, offering comprehensive interior design, along with custom furniture and accessories. As a multi-disciplinary designer, she combines art and design to create whimsical objects and dynamic spaces. Over the last decade, Shani Hay has specialized in the design of public spaces for children with a focus on innovative learning environments of the 21st century. This year, her new book, Sarit Shani Hay: Creative Spaces for Children is being released which explores almost three decades of her creations. Shani Hay was honored with a 2020 FRAME Award Jury Prize in the Social category for the First Inclusive School in Tel Aviv.
