Arik Levy

Tel Aviv-born designer Arik Levy is an inter­na­tion­ally acclaimed artist and indus­trial designer based in Paris. With a multi­dis­ci­pli­nary approach, Levy’s work spans product design, light­ing, sculp­ture, and set design, seam­lessly blend­ing art and functionality.

Levy studied Indus­trial Design at Art Center Europe in Switzer­land, earning distinc­tion in 1991. His early career included a forma­tive period in Japan, where he devel­oped prod­ucts for exhi­bi­tions before return­ing to Europe to explore contem­po­rary dance and opera set design. This diverse back­ground informs his unique perspec­tive, shaping designs that chal­lenge conven­tions and transcend categories.

Since found­ing his studio, Levy has collab­o­rated with leading global brands, with his work featured in pres­ti­gious museums and galleries world­wide. His ongoing part­ner­ship with e15 began in 2008, result­ing in the strik­ing Arie book­case, a sculp­tural yet func­tional shelv­ing system first unveiled at IMM Cologne in 2009.

Best known for his iconic ​“Rock” sculp­tures, Levy sees design as a language of symbols and emotions. His creations, whether furni­ture, light­ing, or large-scale public instal­la­tions, reflect his belief that ​“the world is about people, not objects.”

With an unwa­ver­ing commit­ment to inno­va­tion, Levy contin­ues to push creative bound­aries, craft­ing time­less designs that bridge art and industry.
