We were there for the opening of Westfied Stratford, shooting for different clients
at the crack of dawn. Here is the Lego Store, raising the bar in kid-chic design
and innovative displays.

The Bradbury’s Gallery was designed by Loris & Livia, using a unique peg-board hanging system allowing a variety of displays from framed and unframed art to fashion and textile shows.

We managed to keep warm and toasty despite the snow outside by shooting this ethanol
fireplace project for Ecosmart near Gloucester Road, Earl’s Court, London.

On Monday CDS commissioned us to take pictures of one of their latest projects set in London:
the new Westfield LEGO Store, an incredibly visually exciting, playful and colourful place.

The new Levi’s Store in London’s prestigious Regent St, photographed for the CDS Group shopfitters, whose work amazed us.

The project was completed in just 13 weeks. Understandably Levi Strauss are said to be “exceptionally happy” with the finished project, which looks fantastic. Read the Guardian’s article about it here. Interior Design by Checkland Kindleysides Design.

A few days ago we shot the exhibition of issues 1 to 31 of Self Service magazine, from 1995 to now, in the gorgeous Idea Books store that popped in the front room of Saint Martins Lane Hotel.

The selection is presented using Lars Frideen’s 15° shelves system which is working as a jewel box for the vintage issues of one of the best fashion magazines ever.

DesignMarketo has been commisionned by Idea Books for their popup bookshop, for which they worked with designer Lars Frideen, presenting his Coffee Table, Cactus Shelf, 15° degree Shelves, Sundial Stool and 10° Chair, part of “The Flatpack Le Plus Cool”.

Another beautiful living-space-sculpture by Crawford&Gray.

I’ve been shooting quite a few projects for Crawford&Gray these past months, and each of them has been a total surprise. This particularly eco-friendly project seems to focus a lot on textures, opposing shiny concrete to beautifully red rust, and the warmth of bamboo to the coldness of steel.

We’ve been commissioned by KR Interior Design to create a portfolio of the project they’ve realised in collaboration with Crawford & Gray Architects on a family home in Maida Vale, London.The perfect alchemy of bespoke items of furniture and lighting, augmented with an incredible attention to detail, pattern and finish came out beautifully in the pictures.

A few weeks ago we’ve been shooting the luxury Saint James Hotel & Club. The victorian building has recently been renovated by the award-winning interior designer AMJ Design, from Berlin.

Fine handmade silk wallpaper, black lacquered furniture, hand crafted Murano glass chandeliers and gold leaf ceilings provides the place with a refined albeit warm atmosphere.

The St. James’s Club has a long and distinguished history. It was founded in 1857 by the English aristocrat Earl Granville and Marchese d’Azeglio, a Sardinian Minister and was intended as a London base for travelling diplomats. Its original home was in St. James’s Street and as well as an international clientele it attracted a number of important members of the British upper classes such as Lord Randolph Churchill and Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild. The new design of the place successfully echoes its history.
