Atelier Kaplan is a multidisciplinary textile design studio that blends artisanal craftsmanship with applied design. We collaborate with designers who value custom, thoughtfully crafted textile solutions.

Hand dyeing/painting, gold leaf embellishment, and textile manipulation are just a few techniques that our atelier offers. Applications can be seen in interior décor, fashion and for any project that is in need of elevation through expert pattern design and craftsmanship.
