apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Back in the 70s, half of the homes in Israel had orange-brown-white or green-black-white curtains or mattress ticking like these. There was one big local factory, and imports were highly taxed.

Tel Aviv has the largest collection of Bauhaus buildings anywhere. The American and Scandanavian Modernist movements, are just step children of the Bauhaus school.

More traditional homes in the 20s and 30s were often floored in concrete or terazzo tiles, that were painted like oriental rugs. The flooring looks like a random collection of such tiles, or reprodcutions

A shout out to Tel Aviv -- one of my favorite cities in the world! Love the cool floors.

This makes me want to pack up and move abroad immediately. Fantastic.

Tel Aviv is a fantastic city with tons of wonderful architecture and innovative art. Love the house. Thanks.

There are so many interesting ideas going on in this place, from the suspended spiral staircase to the little Queen Anne (?) legs on the kitchen cabinets. Many Middle Eastern interiors can look gaudy and tacky to Western eyes, but this one seems to have just enough savvy and humour to pull it off. I love that insane floor paired with the bland white walls and ceiling, with the black vinyl skirting acting as a sort of frame.
