WE CREATE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN PEOPLE, ARTWORKS, SPACES AND TIME

WE WORK HAND IN HAND WITH ARCHITECTS, INTERIOR DESIGNERS, ARTISTS AND COLLECTORS THROUGH A TAILORED APPROACH ADAPTED TO EACH CONTEXT AND SENSIBILITY.
Zannier Île de Bendor
Bandol, Méditerranée
Zannier, a Setting for Contemporary Creation.

ORAĖ’s vision is rooted in a deep respect for the artistic history of Île de Bendor, honoring its heritage without freezing it in time, while extending the visionary intuition of its founders.

To mark the island’s reopening in May 2026, ORAĖ is initiating a unique collaboration that transforms Bendor into an open-air exhibition, designed as a space for the discovery of art and emerging artists. Sculptures, installations, textile and olfactory works, and paintings engage in dialogue with the landscape, inviting visitors to experience a sensory journey through a living cultural heritage.

Faithful to the Mediterranean spirit of the island, ORAĖ highlights a new generation of artists from across the Mediterranean basin. Inspired by light, nature, and the elements, their creations weave a subtle connection between memory and contemporaneity, opening new perspectives toward the future.
Delos
Zannier Île de Bendor - South of France

In harmony with the vision of Zannier Hotels — where authenticity, nature, and emotion lie at the heart of each stay — ORAĖ creates unique atmospheres that invite an intimate dialogue between the artwork, the space, and its inhabitants.

Across the 39 rooms of Delos and the 49 rooms of Soukana, each work is selected through a search for harmony, extending the identity of each place and creating a dialogue with the architecture, materials, and surrounding landscape.

For Delos, inspired by the sunlit atmosphere of the 1960s Riviera, Franco-Japanese artist Tiffany Bouelle created 39 paintings with warm, expressive lines that recall the gestures of 1950s abstract expressionism — the era in which Hotel Delos was originally conceived.

Balancing refinement and restraint, Hong Kong artist Han Chiao presents a photographic series evoking an embodied Mediterranean landscape — mineral, luminous, and sensual.
Soukana
Zannier Île de Bendor - South of France

At Soukana, the artistic journey unfolds through a quieter, more contemplative lens. Rooted in the principles of nature, wellbeing, and slow living, the collection reflects the retreat's intimate relationship with its surrounding landscape. Here, art is not simply displayed—it becomes part of the sensory experience, encouraging moments of pause, observation, and reconnection.

Curated by ORAĖ, the collection brings together the works of Bec Kirby and David Servan-Schreiber, whose practices share a deep sensitivity to the natural world. Their works engage with the site's mineral textures, organic forms, and shifting light, creating a subtle dialogue between the interior spaces and the environment beyond.

Rather than imposing themselves upon the architecture, the artworks inhabit it with quiet presence. Through natural materials, restrained palettes, and an appreciation for imperfection, they echo the rhythms of the landscape and invite a slower way of seeing.

Together, they create an atmosphere of calm and introspection, where art becomes an extension of the retreat itself—offering guests a space for reflection, balance, and a renewed connection to nature.
