With pieces from France, Israel, Italy, and beyond, pastry chef Tzurit Or builds a home that feels every bit as true to her spirit as her Boston-based bakery empire.
Even if Tzurit Or hadn't spent her 20s as a film producer sourcing props from antique markets in Jaffa, Israel, she still wouldn’t have been the type to furnish her home from a catalog. “Ever since I was 14, I’ve been buying things with stories,” she says, nodding to a wooden Pinocchio model from Italy that now sits perched on her windowsill. “I come from an antique-loving family; my mom once took me to the Bermondsey antique market in London when I was young, and we woke up at 5 a.m.
An underlying respect for character is a core aspect of Or’s design sensibility. “If walls and floors come with an interesting raw texture or story, I leave them as is. I won’t touch them,” she says. “I use [them] as a base to let life shine through by keeping [the design] fairly simple and clean, with the leading color tone of white and its variations. I love eggshell white—it’s warm.
Or took on a five-month gut renovation using a construction team that specializes in restoring old houses, and her design sensibility made it possible to create a space that bears an unmistakable resemblance to the bakery’s elegant yet cozy aesthetic. She installed Tatte’s iconic orb-like light fixtures and checkered cement tiles in her own kitchen and describes the process of sourcing items for both the bakeries and her home as a labor of love.
