Vintagerie Jaffa was founded by artist Amit Kanfi, whose interest in vintage furniture began while growing up with an interior-designer mother. Amit first learned restoration, then developed a collection selected for its design and history. Character is another stated criterion. The business now offers pieces for sale and rent, keeping restoration knowledge close to the commercial catalogue. That catalogue is especially strong in twentieth-century lighting and furniture. It includes a La Murrina Murano glass ceiling lamp from the 1980s and a Vico Magistretti Eclisse lamp for Artemide. A Verner Panton globe light for Verpan adds another documented design. Furniture listings include Marcel Breuer Cesca chairs, a Dyrlund teak dining table from the 1960s and pieces by Richard Young for Merrow Associates. Italian design appears through Marco Zanuso for Zanotta, Antonia Astori for Driade and Elio Martinelli for Martinelli Luce. Materials recur with equal clarity. Murano glass and teak appear beside chrome, travertine and Carrara marble in named listings. These details make Vintagerie Jaffa a specialist vintage business rather than a general antiques label. The restoration background of Amit establishes the method. The documented designers and makers define the collection's range.

Kalman Ze'ev Wissotzky founded his tea trading company in Moscow in 1849, building it within decades into the largest tea firm in the Russian Empire. The 1917 Revolution ended those operations and scattered the family; in 1936, with the situation in Europe darkening, family member Simon (Shimon) Seidler moved to Mandatory Palestine and opened a packing plant there, selling tea to British soldiers stationed in the territory — the start of what would become Wissotzky's Israeli business. His widow, Ida Seidler, later modernized the operation and, in the 1950s, bought the Tel Aviv building on Hashmonaim Street that still serves as company headquarters.
That same building now houses T-LAB, Wissotzky's flagship tea bar, its walls papered in vintage tea-box designs pulled from the company's own factory archive, serving a tea-based drinks menu — iced matcha lavender latte, an Earl Grey "Tiger Boba," a green-tea mojito — that has since expanded to a second branch at Tel Aviv's Azrieli Mall. In June 2023, Israel's Competition Authority formally declared Wissotzky a monopoly, citing over 70 percent market share in green and herbal tea sold to retailers nationally.
Now five generations from its Moscow founding, Wissotzky remains family-owned, running roughly 200 tea blends out of Tel Aviv headquarters and a Galilee factory — Israel's dominant tea house by any regulator's own measure.
