Arik Levy

Designer, technician, artist, photographer, filmmaker, ARIK LEVY’s work can be seen in prestigious galleries/museums worldwide. Best known for his furniture design and installations, Levy feels “The world is about people, not tables and chairs.” Originally from Israel and moving to Europe in 1988, Levy works in Paris with his team of designers and graphic artists forming L design. Following studies at the Art Center Europe in Switzerland where he gained a distinction in Industrial Design in 1991, Levy’s first international success was winning the Seiko Epson Inc. competition, which jettisoned him into the public consciousness as a “thinking” designer. Considering himself more of a “feeling” designer, Levy continues to contribute substantially to our interior and exterior milieu, his work including public sculpture - his signature Rock pieces - as well as complete environments that can be adapted for multi use. “Life is a system of signs and symbols,” he says, “where nothing is quite as it seems.”
