Unconventional Shops In Tel Aviv

A great way to experience Tel Aviv’s unique vibe is to take a stroll through its quirkiest shops. Unlike other major cities, Tel Aviv doesn’t have an equivalent to New York’s 5th Avenue or London’s Regent Street. From bikes shops to ceramics galleries, here are the top unconventional shops you must visit In Tel Aviv.

Hastudia

Hastudia in Jaffa is simply a heaven for those who love handmade goods, up-cycling and simply good quality materials. There’s a place for everyone here: it’s a shared workspace, a shop and a perfect platform for meeting creative individuals and learning some new craft (like building wood menorah or a lamp). Local artists made the items that are available to purchase in the shop, which is also a community center for whoever want to get their hands dirty. You’ll find wooden kitchen supplies, traditional African wool baskets and home brewed beer. Once you’re inspired by a particular item and decide to make it yourself, you can always book a table, join a workshop or take a training session with Hastudia teachers.

Bauhaus Center

Ilana Goor Museum Gift Shop

The eponymously named museum hosts the work of Ilana Goor, a multidisciplinary artist and designer with a style of combining rough materials such as such as bronze, aluminum and tin. Her designs inspire self-exploration and trigger associations with life and death, eternal search and overcoming difficulties. Within the Ilana Goor Museum, there’s a unique gift shop that is worth exploring. Here, in the bottom level of the museum, the store offers Goor’s jewelry, functional art, furniture and lighting design.

This successful collaboration brings to life toys, sculptures of animals, Judaica, teapots, dishes and other cute items. The general idea of the place is a perfect balance between decorative sculptural elements and functionality.

Less Than a Thousand Gallery

The main aim of the gallery is to spread the love for art amongst the crowd. Less Than a Thousand is not only a name, it’s an important concept of the place: all the artworks in the gallery—even those created by renowned contemporary artists—can be purchased for no more than $1,000, starting from 25 shekels for a postcard with Zooblend’s illustrations and finishing with Daniel Siboni’s latest art pieces. The gallery has a wide collection of street art; it works with such famous Israeli street artists as Dede, Dioz, Sened and others. All the artworks in the gallery are original and one of a kind. Here you can find art for almost any taste, so don’t hesitate to drop by no matter what you are looking for, photos of Tel-Aviv from 1970s or black-and-white classic drawings. If you’re too indecisive to spend your last money on original artwork, there’s always an option here to get a mind-blowing art poster or an iPhone cover with Dede’s plasters.
