About

Anjuli Bernstein is a textile artist and designer based in Brooklyn, NY.  She received her MFA from The Rhode Island School of design and BFA from the University of Georgia.

In her art practice, she handweaves experimental textile structures with a focus on materiality, abstract texture, and sculptural form. The works meditate on ideas of transformation—material, spatial, and temporal—through visual repetition and the embodied rhythm of weaving thread by thread, thousands of times over. She is fascinated by envisioning the minuscule architecture contained within a woven fabric, investigating the technical constraints of the medium, and researching the cultural and historical significance that textiles hold in our world.

Through her design studio, Applied Arts, Anjuli develops custom fabrics for the interior design industry. Her first handwoven fabric collection debuted at ICFF in 2025 and was awarded the IFDA Best in Show for Textiles. Before establishing Applied Arts, she held design positions at esteemed New York textile firms including Patterson Flynn, F. Schumacher & Co., Chilewich, and Sina Pearson Textiles.
