Israel is a country of contrast and convergence: an intersection of cultures since the dawn of time. Ancient traditions thrive within modern life.
Camels are juxtaposed with jets and ancient texts are explored as fervently as the frontiers of modern science. The wisdom of the ages provides a solid foundation for innovation. This is fertile ground for creative minds.
Drawing inspiration from these influences, Nelly Cohen, contemporary Israeli designer, combines old world craftmanship with leading edge technology.
Nelly, a graduate of Haifa University with a masters degree in French literature has integrated her love of poetry into her desgins.
"I start with words" she says... "The lyric preceeds the design"...when I hear the rhythm I know a winner is born".
About the name: Cherie (sweet in French) Dori indeed very Cherie, the eldest of the three children in the family was the inspiration for the name Cherie Dori.
