The COCOON HOME concept was not chosen by chance. I have been working as an interior designer for many years, and I have always seen a close connection between my work and the "place where the butterfly is born". The Butterfly - because it is a delicate being, passing through a complete metamorphosis, from egg to caterpillar and crisalid, then to come out in full glory, colorful, delicate, light, from an inert cocoon, the butterfly becomes a symbol of the soul, transformation and rebirth - the return to life after apparent death. Our path to transformation into interior design can be likened to that of a butterfly. Generally, when dealing with transformation, we want to get to the final result as quickly as possible. But often an inner transformation involves a series of attitudes, behaviors and situations that occupy important roles in our lives, and to which we have to give them space to unfold. Transformation begins when something of us wants something different. And for me and my team it's an honor to create homes that inspire our customers to evolve, become their best version!

Based in Israel, Alon Dodo designs and creates contemporary pieces in hard wood all the while,employing traditional-artisan techniques. Filled with belief, it is the manual labor and the integrity of the material that bestow character and soul to his work. You'll find his unique pieces designed in essential, simple lines that allow the material to shine and empower it even further. Alon manipulates wood in order to achieve new textures along with combining various materials such as leather, copper, brass, iron, korian and marble. Alon also uses an ancient technique called inlay, in which wood is stamped into wood or even other materials with butterfly X-patch connectors. With his inspiration emanating from material and technique, the perfection of imperfection and the tension between gentle and rough, wild and tamed are his formula.
