Alongside local recognition, the studio also established itself in the international market with iconic projects, such as the Ottolenghi delis and Nopi restaurant in London, awarded by Wallpaper magazine for the best new restaurant in 2012.

In the process design, every detail count, every material is important.

Collaborating with artists has always been a major part of our studio’s work. Five years ago, the artist Ivo Bisignano joined our studio. The cooperation with Ivo gave birth not only to new conceptual ideas but also to new possibilities of providing complete design solutions that include design, art, and branding, tailored to a specific project. In 2014, Alex Meitlis established the Alex Meitlis showroom and studio in Shoreditch, London, to further expend his worldwide operation. Our recent projects include Hotel Calimala, a boutique hotel in Florence, the café chain Matto in NYC, the new Ottolenghi restaurant, Rovi, in London, and other commercial and residential projects.

Nestled in the picturesque narrow lanes of Acre, the Efendi Hotel overlooks the historic city walls and the magnificent Mediterranean Sea beyond. The unique structure of this hotel combines two ancient houses that have hundreds of years of history stored within their walls. These houses were meticulously reconstructed and merged into one building before being converted into a boutique hotel.

The Efendi Hotel is the fulfillment of a dream long held by Uri Jeremias, chef and proprietor of the famed Uri Buri restaurant. Complex preservation and restoration work over a period of eight years gave birth to a gorgeous, breathtaking pearl that was truly a labor of love. Thought was invested in each and every detail of the preservation work, which was performed under the supervision of the Antiquities Authority. Artisans were specially flown in from Italy in order to undertake this delicate work, as well as the restoration of the beautiful ceilings. Also preserved was a fresco of the city of Istanbul, which was found at the site; the fresco was created in 1878 in honor of the new Orient Express train station.
