History

The Natish gallery was established on February 1989 by Nati Yahalomi and Israel Primo. Israel’s first steps began in 1989 on the kitchen table of his house in Kfar Aharon near Ness-Ziona.

Israel was fisherman. His sister which was at that time during her entrance exams to the prestigious “Betzalel” art school asked for his help, and together they created a life-sized metal insect. Israel, which is an insects “freak”, fell in love with the hands-on creation process and started creating life-sized and hand made models of insects from different metals.

Israel’s friendship with Nati Yahlom, a ceramics designer and sculptor, lead to a fruitful partnership which gave birth to the “Natish” brand, a combination of their two names: Nati and Israel. Nati and Israel began designing and creating, presenting in art fairs and exhibitions their metal insect jewelry and receiving enthusiastic feedbacks.

Since they has “no choice” they started to create and market their more conventional jewelry, but Israel never gave up his love of insects.

With a great belief in their talent, professionalism nad originality, they turned their art work into monumental and unique “exterior jewelry” which led to an increased demand for their works. Nati and Israel hired more workers and expanded into additional fields of design in variuos materials. Nati, which later became Israel’s wife, focused on interior design and Israel focused on designing and creating spaces, technical and artisitc designs, with a touch of metal work in all his creations.

From a workshop of 150 square meters, they expanded and moved to Moshav Gealya near Rehovot, to a huge workshop of a 200 square meters show room and 300 square meter work area equipped with the most up-to-date machinery and 7 experienced and skilled workers with an artistic background, and so started creating their exterior sculptures.

Today, the Natish Gallery is in Ness ziona, and in the single ownership of Israel Primo and deals with a wide variety of designs and productions, from jewelry to a designs that encompus any space. Design of special projects like reataurants, halls, light fixtures, unique furniture, banisters, gates, exterior sculptures and much more.

The Natish gallery is the place where ideas are started and created. The creation process is done by hand and with a personal and precise touch and feel with the materials, often combined with special techniques and machinery, and with a safeguarding of Natish’s traditional work process and way.

For over 18 years Israel has been working deligently on the Natish brand.

Designing exterior “jems” with an original sculpting way of thinking and with a unique and different presence and a touch of metal work in all of the projects.

Design and creation of practicle elements wrapped with an artistic ambiance that not necessarily looks artistic. rather, a commitment to the practicle needs of the client. The right design for the right purpose, and with it, innovative, unique and artistic.

Nurturing and teaching the next generation with the vast knowledge that Israel has gathered throughout his life and love for creating as a way of life, expression, and fulfillment.

Insertion of fundamental awareness for correct design as a way of life that benefits people and their surroundings.

Israel see’s in every creative person – “the very fact that humans think means they create. The ability of man to think, to move objects in different ways and from one another, is an original and creative action”.

Natish is always working on innovations in design and is renewing itself constantly while keeping with its uniqness and way of work.
