HABIMA
Comprehensive design for Habima National Theatre, 1968–70.
In a previous remodeling of the Habima National Theatre, in 1968–70, Reisinger presided over a total image makeover based on an emblem he designed for the theater, with a distinctive, proscenium-arch-like rendition of the Hebrew letter heh (ה), which flanks the Hebrew for Habima (הבימה) on both sides. Elements of this emblem then featured in other graphic applications (such as the theater’s stationery and entry tickets); in a custom-designed pattern for the carpet in the theater’s entrance lobby; and even in three-dimensional elements such as light fixtures and door handles. This stylistic unity clearly communicated the theater’s distinctive identity in all its points of contact with the public.
