Prototype completed
A full concrete prototype has been physically built and photographed.
Selected Public-Facing Project
A Public Breastfeeding Chair for Parks and Community Spaces
A public breastfeeding chair designed by Dafna Tzidkiyahu and registered in her name in Israel and internationally.
Positioned between design, public presence, and maternal experience, the project proposes a dedicated seating object for parks, gardens, institutions, and community spaces—one that supports breastfeeding without isolation and allows care to remain visible within shared civic space.
The chair’s concept, design authorship, and project direction are by Dafna Tzidkiyahu.
A full-scale concrete prototype has been completed, and the project is currently being advanced toward an industrial production version and first municipal placement in Israel.
Project status
This project is already materially developed, but it has not yet been installed in the field. The first placement is currently tied to an active municipal procurement process, and serial production has not begun yet.
Industrial version in development
The project is currently being advanced toward a serially manufacturable version for public-space use.
Design registered
The design is registered in Israel and internationally in Dafna Tzidkiyahu’s name.
Procurement in progress
One local authority is currently advancing through a purchasing process, but no signed sale has been completed yet.
From prototype to industrial form
The project moves between physical prototyping, structural testing, and an industrial version intended for public-space deployment.
Concrete prototype
The completed prototype translates Dafna Tzidkiyahu’s original design into a full-scale physical object. Its proportions, mass, and bodily relation are already visible in use, allowing the chair to be understood as a public seating form with a clear breastfeeding purpose.
Structural development
The prototype construction documents the translation of the original design into a physical test object for structure, proportion, and future industrial adaptation. The internal framework makes visible the transition from concept to durable public installation.
Industrial version
The interactive 3D model presents the project’s industrial version: a form intended for production and municipal placement, while retaining the chair’s visual identity and public purpose.
Breastfeeding as visible public presence
Rather than separating breastfeeding from public life, the project argues for a dedicated civic object that allows care to remain present within shared space.
