Make flexible wooden textiles by measuring, cutting, and binding wood veneer and learning how to transform it into 3D structures

“Every piece of wood holds a story that it tells through its grain and tone, its texture, and its smell.”

Orli Tesler and Itamar Mendelovitch, the founders of textile studio Tesler + Mendelovitch, use those stories to create unique textiles using wood veneer. By constantly experimenting and adapting their techniques to each project, they are able to construct three-dimensional objects that are both beautiful and sustainable.

In this online course, they teach you how to use veneer to create malleable wood textiles at home. Learn how to cut, bind, and finish wood veneer, then transform it into a custom wall panel from scratch. Challenge the limits of what you can make with wood.

Textile Design Studio

Orli Tesler and Itamar Mendelovitch are the founders of Israel-based studio Tesler + Mendelovitch. They met while studying textile design at the Shenkar University of Engineering and Design. From the outset, they had opposing design ideologies: Itamar works methodically and precisely, while Orli is more impulsive, but they soon realized that the two approaches complemented each other and began collaborating on projects. After graduating, they opened their own studio with the aim of transforming known materials into new forms.

Their first product launch was the diamond wood coffee table and sitting stool, but they’ve since gone on to create a whole range of unique products including their best-selling wooden clutch. Through their studio, Orli and Itamar collaborate with interior designers and architects around the world to create site-specific installations, special editions, and specialist commissions. They also share their designs with over 10K followers on Instagram.
