About Yoav

Yoav S. Liberman is a studio furniture artist. His work combines the old and new, using found objects and discarded wood as a source and inspiration for the pieces that he builds.
Yoav received his architectural degree from the Israel Institute of Technology. From 2001 to 2003, he was an Artist-in-Residence at the Worcester Center for Crafts. In September 2003, Yoav joined Eliot House at Harvard University where he teaches woodworking and furniture design.
His work has appeared in several juried exhibitions in the United States, most recently in the Trashformations East exhibition at the Fuller Craft Museum. Yoav’s Etrog box was one of the finalists at the 2005 Niche awards.
Yoav’s articles on furniture design and woodworking have been published in Israel’s leading design magazines. His work has also been featured in several New England publications, including the Worcester Sunday Telegram (June 2002) and The Jewish Chronicle (July 2003). Two of his pieces have appeared in a recent art book on innovative approaches to woodturning – 500 Wood Bowls (Lark Books 2004).
Yoav designs and builds his pieces at his Harvard studio in Cambridge MA. His pieces can be found in galleries in Cambridge, Worcester and Acton as well as in private collections in the United States, Israel and England.
