Cabana Magazine #19

We like to think of Cabana N19 as the Magicians’ issue, on account of a few people featured whose ‘special powers’ are very evident when it comes to interiors. Travel with us to Jacob, Lord Rothschild’s magical paradise on the island of Corfu; journey through the history and architectural splendour of Andalusia, and explore the stunning textiles and landscapes of Bulgaria. Lose yourself in Umberto Pasti’s dream-like house and gardens in Tangier, which, like a living creature, are constantly evolving and following their owner’s vision. Meet Geoffrey Bawa in Sri Lanka where the architect has created a spell-binding “story out of nothing”, and visit maker Deborah Needleman in upstate New York to marvel at her ‘magic wand’ - her hands - carefully weaving strands of willow and rush, creating timeless objects for everyday use.
