Tiferet /ti’fair-‘et/ — glorious splendor

Our name was born from the Kabbalistic terminology Tiferet, representing the harmonious blending of varying colors and forms, producing a work of majestic beauty.

The word tiferet is derived from the Hebrew word pe’er, meaning “glory” or “magnificence”. Tiferet is the attribute of Jewish Mysticism, which represents merging the benevolent and expansive flow of kindness, and the restrictive severity of strength. The essential characteristic of Tiferet is in its ability to unify opposite traits.

Tiferet painting and wallcovering was initially founded to construct a bridge between the desire for quality and price resulting in value, essentially creating a harmonious union between two opposing realities in commercial painting. 15 years later, Tiferet has grown exponentially, and entered a new age of servicing clients with a top quality product provided with a seamless concierge experience;

Tiferet’s namesake perfectly aligns with our current and refreshed approach which reflects the magnificence and luxurious quality of tiferet.
