Tzuri Gueta ( Hebrew: צורי גואטה; born 1968) is an Israeli jewelry and fabric designer based in Paris.
Gueta was born in Givat Olga, Israel, in 1968. [1] [2] His parents immigrated to Israel from Tripoli, Libya. [1] He attended secondary school at Kibbutz Shomrat. [1] He is the youngest of nine children. [2] His first job was working on the production line in the kibbutz knitting factory. [1] He studied at the Shenkar College of Engineering and Design, graduating with a degree in textile engineering. [1] [2] He moved to Paris in 1996. [2]
The New York Times describes Gueta's jewelry as "blur(ring) the lines between craft, fashion and art." [2]
Gueta is known for having developed a technique to infuse natural fibers with synthetic polymers enabling him to create a lace-like, three-dimensional material that he describes as a “lace-fed silicone.” [2] He patented the process in 2006 and founded Silka Design, producing handmade jewelry, textiles, lighting fixtures and furniture. [2]
In 2009 he won the Grand Prix de la Création by the City of Paris for his "cocoon" lamp. [2] [1]
In 2010 he won the Andrea M. Bronfman Prize for the Arts and was given a solo show at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. [2] [1] [3]
Gueta's work is in the collections of museums including the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City. [4]
