Shikma Alfasi
Growing up in a household that celebrated a rich fusion of cultures, I found my design prowess rooted in the seamless blending of diverse backgrounds. With a heritage encompassing Chinese, Italian, Romanian, Russian, and Moroccan influences, I possess a unique ability to craft designs that resonate harmoniously across these varied cultural tapestries—a reflection of my personal DNA.
My distinctive touch lies in transcending two-dimensional concepts into immersive three-dimensional realities. Stepping away from conventional trends, my educational background in interior design and fashion fuels my passion for melding the vintage with the contemporary, weaving together elements to craft a bespoke narrative.
Inspiration for my creations springs from the natural world and my global travels. Every corner of the world I’ve ventured into has sparked fresh design concepts, culminating in the genesis of “Noshi Origami’s Six Sense.” Rooted in my love for origami’s timeless art, this venture transforms paper folding into functional art, showcasing innovation with a sustainable edge.
A transformative chapter in my life unfolded during a sojourn to Japan. Amidst the Islands of the Artists, where open museums seamlessly connect exterior and interior spaces, I encountered a masterpiece: the Teshima Museum Art. Designed by the illustrious architect Ryue Nishizawa, this structure, resembling a water droplet—a symbol of infinity in Japanese culture—crafted an enveloping warmth in concrete, resonating deeply with me. This sensory awakening birthed the inception of Noshi.
Today, Noshi stands as a creative workshop crafting soaps and poured candles from origami molds, featuring ancient scents reminiscent of biblical times: jasmine, wild rose, frankincense, desert oasis, smoked pepper, and aqua.
My vision is to preserve traditional artistry while infusing it with modern, innovative interpretations. Welcome to the world of Noshi Origami’s Six Sense—a celebration of heritage reimagined for the contemporary connoisseur.

Jasmin
In a world filled with exotic scents and memories from across the globe, there existed a delicate fragrance, so pure and white. It symbolized simplicity yet elegance, the essence of freedom and individuality, and it embodied humility and sociability. This white flower carried with it the sacredness of love, happiness, hope, and spirituality. Its harmonious presence ignited sensuality between couples, leaving a spellbinding trail of enduring memories in its wake. A fragrance that evoked all these emotions, a true testament to the power of love and the beauty of life’s experiences.
Smoked Pepper
The king of all seasonings, held within its depths a treasure trove of magical properties. Known for its strength and masculinity, smoked pepper was revered not only for its culinary prowess but also for its healing attributes. Its robust aroma was a symphony of boldness and potency, and it stood as a testament to the harmony between its fiery nature and the mystical powers it concealed. As its smoky essence permeated the air, it carried with it the promise of vitality and renewal, a truly extraordinary spice in every sense.
The Wild Rose
Both powerful and floral, carried a majestic and delicate scent, evoking love, passion, and beauty. Its petals symbolized awakening and the fragrance of spring. With an aura of regality, it possessed a gentle and intoxicating allure. A symbol of love, this delicate aroma filled the air, embracing all who encountered it with feelings of love, passion, and the splendor of a royal presence. In its essence, the rose remained a timeless emblem of affection, desire, and exquisite beauty.
Oasis
After bathing in a desert oasis, the body is left with a delicate aroma, which induces relaxation and regeneration. The oasis serves as a replenishment station for both body and soul, where the date palm trees provide solace after days of toil. The scent, a lingering ember from the amber-infused waters of the oasis, brings about renewal and tranquility, a soothing balm for a weary traveler’s soul. It is in these moments, amid the desert’s beauty, that one finds nourishment for the body and solace for the spirit.
Aqua
An aquifer, a gush of deep, mineral-rich waters rising from the heart of the earth, akin to the life-giving springs in a desert oasis. Bathing with the aqua soap, infused with mint, lavender, and cedarwood, mirrors the experience of those desert wanderers reaching a wellspring of spiritual ascent, drenched in tranquility and ethereal bliss.
The Spice Trail
In a world filled with fragrant allure, two souls embarked on a timeless journey. The sweet and precious scent of myrrh and frankincense, echoing from biblical times, enveloped them in a delicate balance of earth and air. Drawn by the aroma’s ancient charm, they found themselves transported 2,400 years into the past. Myrrh and frankincense, coveted for their value, bridged the gap between their worlds, kindling a romance that transcended time itself.
