The Blue Lagoon

This is where we came into the picture. For the living room, we custom-made two rounded Rocket sofas in a double-sided configuration, with two armrests on each sofa. Alongside them, we placed a pair of swivel Lotus armchairs, a Sharoni table hand-upholstered in blue leather, a round Shani rug in deep royal blue and a light-toned Fait side table, whose shape recalls pebbles stacked one on top of another. Lighting by Tom Dixon completes the space. Blue on blue on blue, and somehow, still exactly the right amount. The same language continues outdoors. On the terrace, we incorporated a coffee table and side table from the Fait series, four Duba Skinny armchairs and a double Nemo sunbed, all suited to outdoor conditions and life by the sea.

And then came the dining table. The family wanted to seat twenty people around it, while Itamar wanted to do so without introducing a table that would feel heavy in the space. The solution was our Chiba table, custom-made for the project at five metres long, with an additional 1.5-metre extension. Yes, six and a half metres of table. This is exactly the kind of challenge we love, taking an existing piece and developing it together with the designer so that it feels as though it was always meant to be part of the home. In the bedroom, we continued the same idea at a slightly quieter volume. A Duba bed in a light fabric, a Dubale sofa whose proportions Itamar asked us to adjust and lower specifically for the space, and a Bell lamp by Tom Dixon alongside them.

All of the indoor and outdoor furniture in the home was selected from NISO, but for us, the story isn’t about the number of pieces. It’s about how working with Itamar allowed us to adapt, modify and create each piece as part of one complete design language. That’s exactly what we love about bespoke furniture, not bringing furniture into a home after it has been designed, but becoming part of the design process itself. Everything was designed and made in Israel, and in this particular project, “blue and white” takes on a slightly more literal meaning.
