17 // Dikla Levsky is a textile designer based in Tel Aviv. She graduated in 2009 from the Shenkar College of Engineering and Design in Israel, and now works from her own studio creating unique hand-painted works, mostly with a focus on pattern. These are later translated into different textile print techniques. Dikla’s inspiration comes from nature, and she especially loves primitive motifs and layouts. Her work features a mix of both traditional and contemporary textile motifs and designs; ethnic influences from different cultures are interpreted with new colours to make a new cultural hybrid. In the future, Dikla would love to continue collaborating with designers and companies from other design fields, and to continue developing her own brand.
Bright Dots
A vibrant design with neon colours set against dark navy highlights Dikla’s painterly aesthetic.
Colourful Dots
A playful fabric design with a sense of joy and colour. The rough arrangement of rows gives a sense of order, but the hand-painted dots are never uniform.
Bright Stripes
Rows of vivid brush-strokes overlap, creating indistinct edges on the horizontal stripes.
Peacock Stripes
In this piece, inspired by peacocks, tribal art and patterns, Dikla meticulously hand painted stripes onto black paper.
