Dudi Hasson: Mediterranean Homes, Gebunden

Klappentext

Orna Tamir Schestowitz is an Israeli design journalist and art curator whose work sparks a conversation on the intricate interplay between humans and nature.

Schestowitz is a strong believer that our homes should create a sense of belonging and togetherness. Growing up, she became a fan of the mix-and-match approach, placing a modern stainless steel island by an old dining area, an African dresser next to an Eames chair. Schestowitz doesn’t believe in design dos and don’ts; she believes only in an intuitive harmony of space, color, and light. Her rooms are infused with travel souvenirs, art acquisitions, family pieces, and historical patterns; the rich palettes and bold mixture of patterns create spaces that feel intrinsically inviting and cozy.

The visual interaction of material, color, and composition combined with her ability to create spaces that are both beautifully curated and comfortably livable are as strong as her passion for the Mediterranean Sea, archeology, and ceramics, driving forces of her restless research and experimentation within the realm of glaze and warm materials like wood, straw, and rope.

In this monograph she celebrates her homes across the Mediterranean with the help of the renowned Israeli fashion photographer Dudi Hasson who captured the essence of her Tel Aviv, Cap Ferrat, and Paros residences, revealing the soul-stirring threads that weave these places together.

The visual journey is enriched by a selection of texts from the esteemed US author and design writer Beth Dunlop, stemming from a series of conversations with Schestowitz.
