“ Tools and Materials In this lesson, I’ll show you the tools and materials to make a wood textile. You’ll need two sheets of oak veneer, 1 m x 35 cm. One is for practicing and the other is for your final project. For practice, it's better to work with a common veneer like birchwood. You'll need a utility knife. I like the Olfa knife from Japan. It's the best knife in the world. You’ll need two rulers, one for measurement and the other for cutting. For cutting, we need a ruler that saves our fingers.

A course by Tesler + Mendelovitch
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.
