Rafael Elbaz combines material and process research with digital fabrication techniques—such as CNC, laser cutting, and casting—to create bespoke objects and environments. He specialises in embedding narratives, local histories, and identities into physical forms, often through community engagement and co-creation. From immersive exhibition design to regenerative material strategies, his work bridges craft, sustainability, and storytelling.
