Mediterranean Homes: The Art of Embracing Light

The coffee table book "Mediterranean Homes: The Art of Embracing Light" celebrates havens across the Mediterranean from the hands of Orna Tamir Schestowitz, an artist, designer and curator whose work encourages conversations about the complex interplay between space and light. Schestowitz believes that a home should create a sense of belonging. Growing up, she developed an appreciation for harmonizing different styles. For example, she placed a modern stainless steel island next to an old dining area, an African sideboard next to an Eames chair.

Schestowitz does not follow design guidelines; she believes in an intuitive harmony of space, color and light. The spaces she creates are infused with travel collections, art purchases, family heirlooms and historical patterns. The rich palettes and bold patterns create spaces that feel naturally inviting and intimate, a result of her years of exploring Mediterranean style.

The visual interaction of material, color and composition combined with her ability to create spaces that are both beautifully composed and comfortably livable are as strong as her passion for the Mediterranean, archaeology and ceramics. These are also the driving forces behind her restless research and experimentation in glazes and hot materials such as iron and stone.

International fashion photographer Dudi Hasson who captured the essence of Tel Aviv, Cap Ferrat and Paros residences in warm and passionate images that reveal the profound elements that weave these spaces together. The visual journey is enriched by a selection of texts by esteemed American writer and design writer Beth Dunlop, stemming from a series of conversations with Schestowitz.
