About Dafna

I’m Dafna Tzidkiyahu, a photographic artist and the creator of the Public Breastfeeding Chair.

The idea for the chair grew out of my own experience as a breastfeeding mother. Again and again, in gardens, parks and public places, I found myself looking for seating suited to breastfeeding. Over time, I understood that this was a recurring need for many mothers and one that also has a place in the planning of public space.

That experience led me to begin developing the chair. I wanted the design to respond to the body, to breastfeeding, and to the environments in which families spend time together. For me, the chair connects my work around women and motherhood with the creation of an object for everyday use in public space.

Alongside the chair, I have worked in photography and art for many years. My work explores women, motherhood, identity and their presence in space. Among other projects, I presented my solo exhibition “The Woman in Judaism” at the Knesset, and my photographs accompany the book “Fragments of Miracles” , published by Steimatzky.
