Founded in 1993 by master craftsman,
Avi Bourla. Based in Tel‑Aviv.
Primitive Design is a gallery of iconic international design and rare, handcrafted objects. We welcome collectors, designers and the curious by appointment, for an unhurried conversation about pieces, materials and provenance.
It began with model aircraft in balsa wood and rice paper, then architectural models and sculpture maquettes made with uncompromising precision. In San Francisco came Victorian houses in mahogany, classic wooden sailboats and seven years building a modern wooden catamaran.
For nearly thirty years, Indonesia has been a place of return: walking from village to village with friends who lead the way, meeting makers and gathering primitive pieces carved by hand from teak. Each object is restored slowly before it reaches Tel Aviv.
