Yael

Small Space Craft

Hi, I am Yael and I make miniatures - houses, furniture and more. Originally from northern Israel, I lived in Jerusalem for several years and the city left a huge impact on my style. Inspired by architecture around the world and especially in Jerusalem, the miniature houses I create reflect different architectural styles and times through history. My goal is to create warm, playful and aesthetic art that will get out the joyful spark of both kids and adults.

I make 3 types of products: miniature 3D buildings, miniature furniture for dollhouses and display and self-assembling 3D kits. The key feature in all of them is what I like to call Engaging Decor - all of my creations are complete as they are, but they also have a welcoming call for the customer to engage with the piece. Whether it is building, painting, adding customizations or even playing, everyone can dive into this tiny world and add their own style and charm if they like.

The miniatures are made of different kinds of wood, fabric and day to day materials, many of which originally meant for a different use and are being repurposed. I use a combination of handmade and laser-cutting techniques, and all of the production happens in my studio.
