GABRIEL JACKA BIO

 

 

Gabriel Jacka is a Melbourne-based designer, taking a fresh approach to small-run hand-printed textile design.

 

Strongly influenced by a childhood in rural Victoria, his love of landscape and the repeated patterns evident in nature is a strong influence in his aesthetic. Travelling extensively through Europe, Africa, and Australia, Gabriel's work exhibits an historical reverence, and embraces his passion for playful yet classically inspired interiors, ephemeral but with ageless appeal.

 

Since moving to Melbourne he has studied textile design in order to capitalise on the flexibility of this medium across a wide range of design contexts. Working initially in interior design, at both residential and commercial levels, he has gained a thorough knowledge of the wide scope for textiles, and brings an understanding and enthusiasm for using fabric to full and dramatic effect.

 

Gabriel's collection harnesses strong pattern and colour, yet adheres to classic design principles. This hand-printed range has been conceived for myriad applications to complement and enhance your unique space.
