About Planet Heart™
Planet Heart™ is the parent creative world behind Heart Mandalas and Zebra Love™—a growing universe of original heart-based art, inventions, books, brands, and experiences created by artist and inventor Tali Lehavi.
It started with an idea for an entire planet.
When I was a little girl, I had an idea that seemed so obvious to me: There should be an entire planet made of hearts. Not hearts as decoration, but hearts as the actual building blocks of everything. Every shape, every pattern, every detail: a heart. It seemed so obvious that it should exist, so every year I watched the market and could not understand why people limited their goals and imaginations to a single heart or a few hearts on products.
I never let go of that idea. Instead, I figured out how to build it. I was on a mission to make it as real as possible.
Over the years, I taught myself to fit hearts together in ways that surprise people. Curves that look like petals. Pyramids that look like Aztec designs. Images with movement and depth. But I also came up with novel spatial patterns and activities. I lived for that Aha surprise when people would look closely and find it a wonder that so much can be done with hearts. Soon, my planet idea grew into a galaxy and then a multiverse, because why should we ever limit ourselves?
What grew from that dream
The art led to books—coloring books, activity books, mindfulness books—at a time when adult coloring was not a category. It led to the Heart Pictionary—a visual vocabulary made entirely of hearts, where designs carry an added meaning and layer of positivity beyond the shape itself. It led to Zebra Love™, a line built around the simple truth that no two zebras have the same stripes, and neither do people—and that’s worth celebrating, not hiding. Zebra Love™ stands against bullying in every form: against yourself and against others.
Along the way, I invented the heart hand gesture (and received a U.S. utility patent on it in 2001 and U.S. trademarks in 2006). I pioneered neuroart—patterns designed to activate the brain, settle the nervous system, and bring a little more focus and calm into everyday life.
All of it traces back to the same place: the belief that each heart represents us as people, and that like hearts, we are unique individuals but we are also all connected. We like to connect through love.
How Planet Heart lives in this store
Everything here—the apparel, home décor, gifts, and books—carries that original vision. These aren’t prints slapped onto products. They’re designs where every curve, every line, and every detail is a heart. Because why shouldn’t we aim to optimize our goals for how we treat ourselves and this planet?
I hope something here finds its way to you—or to someone you love.
