Adi Kitov and Rachel Hadari
’23 Furniture Design
Rachel Hadari, ceramicist, and Adi Kitov, wood and ceramic artist, bring their work into a quiet yet powerful dialogue. Wood leans deeply into ceramic. Ceramic curves around wood. Where they touch, gold shimmers. The forms respond to one another in a conversation of shape and stillness, chaos and calm. Their collaboration was born through friendship formed in the wake of shared trauma. Though they had known of each other for years, their bond deepened when parallel grief brought understanding and trust. This body of work reflects that connection. Each golden mark becomes a gesture of support, a trace of human connection, and a reflection of the strength found in holding and being held.
Adi Kitov is an architect, maker, and former dancer whose work explores structure and movement. After leading a design firm in Israel for fifteen years, she relocated to Boston in 2017. Working with wood, ceramic, concrete, and metal, she creates pieces that celebrate space, rhythm, and material. A MassArt Furniture Design graduate, she is part of Charlestown Furniture Makers and shares her work at @AdiKitovArt.
Rachel Hadari is a Brookline-based clay sculptor whose practice—shaped by decades in fashion design, leading creative teams, teaching, and curating—explores resilience, protection, and connection. After three decades in design and education, she transitioned to ceramics in 2018, training at Harvard’s Ceramics Program and La Meridiana, Italy. Her hand-built works have since been exhibited in solo and group shows in the U.S. and abroad.
