“I am Worthy of Love and Respect, I Love and Approve of Myself Exactly as I am. I am Safe”
Aqua Creations Lighting & Furniture Atelier was founded in 1994 by designer-artist Ayala Serfaty who completed her degrees in Fine Arts at the Bezalel Academy of art in Design in Jerusalem and then at Middlesex Polytechic in London. Well known for her art creations Ayala and her husband Photographer Albi Sefaty collaborated to evolve their talents to develop Aqua Creations a Lighting & Furniture Atelier.
Based out of Tel Aviv where their pieces are all handmade by their team of skilled artisans who use their craft to create such unique pieces. They create, manufacture and design all out of these headquarters.
I am especially fascinated by the Light designs, there is something so modern but yet so soft to each piece, for some reason I see them as creatures from the universe both below in the depths of our oceans and above in our galaxies. They make me dream and escape into these worlds.. These magnetic pieces can be commissioned for a home, apartment, hotel, restaurant I imagine they would blend in well with any type of lanscape sea, mountain, desert or snow. Fun to play around with and use your imagination with various colour and shape choices you will be surely transported to their world.

I love London in September & October the sun is shinning, no really it is! The city is really having an amazing year, Jubilee and Olympics and now Art, Design, Theatre and anything in between take centre court. This is just a very small selection of many upcoming exhibitions.

Lebanon Pool of Elie Saab Design by Chakib Richani
Summertime is here and what is more beautiful than having a great pool to spend it in. I can only dream that one day I will have my own house with a gorgeous garden and pool.
In the meantime I can only sit and look at these and get inspiration until the real thing.

On the Peloponnese Coast of Greece on the outskirts of Porto Heli, the new Aman will be opening this Summer. Amanzoe meaning peaceful life , the Sanskrit word Aman meaning Peace and the Greek word for life Zoe (pronounced zoi).
The Amanzoe has 38 Suites, The Pool Pavillion comes with Six Meter Pools and Deluxe Pavillion with 12 Meter Pools, high ceiling big living and sleeping areas all with large terraces with lounge , sunbathing and dining areas.
Surrounded by Olive Groves and views over Spetses and the Argosaronic Gulf, this Ed Tuttle designed Aman also has bigger villas for sale, Beach Club, Spa, Dinning, Lounge and a main swimming pool.The other activities will include visits to Ancient Sites surrounding the area, boat excursions to nearby Islands on the Hotels' Wally Powerboat (see archive on a post them) or a traditional Kaiki, trekking, riding, olive picking and make your own olive oil.
Only a 2 1/2 hour drive from Athens or 2 Hour boat ride, or even if you prefer 25 minutes by helicopter, Amanzoe is perfectly situated, am sure it will be a huge success.
Am open to invitations! Hint hint.

FAREWELL PETER O'TOOLE

"No one should ever know where conduct ends and acting begins," he confides. "Conduct unbecoming. That's what acting is. It's people doing it, not for themselves, but for the audience. That's the magic, baby. That's what matters. That's what an audience remembers." PETER O'TOOLE
Thank you for the magic!
