COLLECTED・PRESSED・DESIGNED・ONE OF ONE
My name is Amiyah Michaeli-Menashe. I am the founder of ONE OF ONE studio, where I create art pieces from pressed flowers that I collect in the Jerusalem Hills — where I live — and dry using a traditional technique. This is the same technique used some 150 years ago, when flower albums were made with covers of olive wood — albums that became a souvenir industry from the Land of Israel. (I dedicated a blog post to the story behind these flower albums — you are welcome to read and explore further.)
I am 47, married to Chico, and a mother to Erel, Zohar, and Tom.Behind the craft of flower pressing lies a personal story about a time of pause and contemplation. It marks a significant moment in my life when I decided to forge a new professional path, after 14 years of working as an architect in Jerusalem offices — following my studies in architecture at Bezalel. During that time I had the privilege of working on unique and meaningful projects, which remain a source of creative inspiration to this day.
The working process is slow, and encompasses time for collecting the flowers, drying them in a dedicated flower press over several weeks, and a design process that demands delicate and precise attention to every detail.
Over two and a half years I have built a private flower collection — mostly from the area where I live — which in the world of botany is called a Herbarium, or in Hebrew, עשבייה. Incorporating this collection into my art works is, for me, a connection to memory, to place, and to the ever-changing rhythm of the seasons.
The flowers come from the Jerusalem hills. The protected species among them were grown in my private wildflower garden, from seeds and seedlings I planted myself.
The foundation of my inspiration lies in the worlds of content and creation that accumulated through my years of study and practice as an architect. The largest and most meaningful project I co-managed, at the office of Tik Proyektim, was the preservation and restoration of the antiquities at Caesarea Harbour. The project was built entirely on hands-on work — excavations carried out with great delicacy to reveal layers of different eras — and it became a deep source of inspiration: working with fragile raw material, from the smallest detail to the thinking behind planning and curating the remarkable finds. In the summer of 2025 I decided to offer my works for sale.
A selection of pieces can be found at the As Promised shop of the National Library of Jerusalem, at the Shtayim shop and at Tres in Tel Aviv. The Winter Flowers 2026 series is at Studio NoW, as part of their annual Almanac programme, through which they published an open call for artists to participate and exhibit at the studio.
