Noa Dershowitz
Founder and Designer
As a designer I am drawn to the unexpected within the familiar.
The objects I create achieve a dialogue between design, art and sculpture. For me, an object is not simply about finding a functional solution or expressing an aesthetic statement; it is a way of telling a story through material, form, and personal experience.
I graduated from the Jewelry and Fashion Department at The Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design and for a semester studied contemporary and traditional jewelry techniques in Florence. While in Florence, far away from home, I recognized the importance of maintaining traditions, customs and heritage. These complimentary learning experiences made me understand the value of blending traditional artisanship with advanced manufacturing technologies.
MOSBACHER, my studio, is named after my grandmother Ellen, who in 1937 left Nurenberg, Germany with her mother and sister and came to Birmingham, England. My great grandfather, Edward Mosbacher, had already established a successful manufacturing business in Birmingham producing paint, roller and shaver brushes. In 1952 he received a patent for his invention of the 'hand tool for applying paint', the roller brush. For me, the name Mosbacher carries a sense of survival, achievement and continuity: family and memory being passed down from one generation to the next.
I grew up in a religious home, and tradition was an integral part of my life. My connection to Judaica goes far beyond simply designing an object. What truly moves me is the encounter between the object, the people, and the story it creates. The thought that an object I design can become part of a meaningful family occasion or a gathering of Israelis and Jews from the diaspora to celebrate Shabbat and the Jewish Holidays is very special.
The Timeless Collection
This collection was born from a desire to preserve the essence of my 100-year-old grandfather, who lives in London, and to translate that personal memory into a contemporary object. It explores the meeting between something deeply rooted in the past and a distinctly modern language of form, material, and technology. The collection passes down a physical trace onto objects designed for the present thereby creating a bridge between generations, where memory becomes something tangible, functional, and timeless.
I capture the physical patterns of his fingerprints and extract from them clean precise vector lines. These lines are engraved onto the Jewish ritual objects, so that when the next generation holds them, they are, in a sense, continuing the same gesture of holding, the same touch.
In this way, a private memory becomes a shared family experience.
To give this memory a lasting physical presence, each object is CNC machined from a solid block of stainless steel, a heavy, durable, rust resistant material. Each piece is then meticulously hand polished to achieve a mirror finish which emphasizes its surface and reflects light. This collection is exclusively designed and manufactured in Israel.

Every engraving starts with a conversation: whose prints, which piece, and for which occasion?
