Ibrahim Shabaita

Where onyx glows and bronze breathes

Shefa-Amr, Israel

THE CONCEPT

A residence that operates at the voltage of a five-star hotel lobby — then softens into a home. **A backlit onyx kitchen island on a fluted black-and-gold pedestal** sets the tone: every material here is chosen for its ability to hold light.

A faceted bronze dining table sits beneath a glass-balustrade staircase clad in bookmatched marble and walnut veneer. From the double-height living room's pearl-globe chandeliers to the dressing room's sculptural gold branch sconces, nothing whispers — everything speaks with authority.

Signature Detail

A backlit onyx kitchen island on a fluted black-and-gold pedestal — amber, cream, and smoke swirling beneath polished glass — turns the kitchen into a geological exhibition. The stone is the chandelier, the centerpiece, and the conversation starter.
