Leika is a metal trestle that emphasizes the ability to produce extremely simple designs using innovative technologies. By using laser profile cutting technology, the simple industrial profile is weakened to the point of bending, making its assembly easy and functional. Additionally, when inserting the closing profile into the appropriate slot, a click is heard, followed by a geometric lock that provides strength and stability to the Leika. The material from which the trestles are made is galvanized metal, which guarantees a long lifecycle and the ability to withstand loads.
Designed by Nimrod Shani
Recognized by A' Design Award.
My name is Nimrod Shani, and I'm 33 years old. Currently, I'm a student studying industrial design, even though I'm a bit older than my classmates. Before this, I had a background in civil engineering and completed a master's degree in management and innovation. However, my true passion lies in design, which led me to leave my stable profession and pursue industrial design wholeheartedly. Design consumes my thoughts—I'm constantly thinking, dreaming, and breathing it. What makes me unique is my ability to blend civil engineering, innovation, and industrial design together. This perspective allows me to approach design as both a designer and an engineer, giving me a deep understanding of materials and breaking down limitations. I love what I do, and my diverse background empowers me to explore design from multiple angles. It's a fusion of creativity and technical knowledge that guides my journey in this field.

The Design Business Index (DBI) is a merit-based rating system and professional directory founded to address one of the design industry’s biggest challenges: the difficulty of reliably assessing a designer’s true capabilities before a project begins. Through its partnership with the internationally recognized A’ Design Award, DBI combines a rigorous blind review process with transparent evaluation criteria to transform subjective design quality into objective credentials. By featuring only those who have demonstrated excellence under these stringent standards, DBI ensures a carefully curated pool of top talent, where clients can make confident, data-driven decisions about creative partnerships.
Beyond its directory, DBI offers a comprehensive DBI Credibility Suite™ designed to help designers and studios stand out in an overcrowded market. Each DBI-rated professional receives authoritative certificates, digital assets, and rating logos that validate their skills and attest to their proven creative excellence. These tools seamlessly integrate into websites, social media, and marketing materials—reinforcing trust, credibility, and, ultimately, market value. Notably, DBI ratings remain valid for a two-year period, encouraging ongoing professional development and highlighting those who continuously push the boundaries of innovation.
By systematically reducing guesswork and eliminating reliance on subjective portfolio reviews alone, the Design Business Index creates a more efficient, trustworthy, and merit-based environment for both clients and designers. With DBI, top talent rises above the noise, clients gain peace of mind, and the entire global design community benefits from higher standards of creativity, innovation, and professional excellence.
