Interior Photography

Furniture and garden design by Crawford & Gray.

Interior Photography can also mean outdoor photography: this year we took full advantage of the english summer by shooting quite a few gardens, two of them designed by Crawford & Gray.
We loved the secretive nature of this one, a hidden getaway in the heart of busy West London.

Interior-photography art-directed the photoshoot of the commissioned products presented at FoodMarketo, a joint venture between Apartamento, the D&AD nominated interior design magazine, and the upcoming online platform/shop DesignMarketo.

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 at an approximate cost of 2 million pounds. 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”.

Amanda Kianfar and Marina Revell designed this beautiful home in Hove, Sussex.

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.

We’ve been commissioned to shoot DesignMarketo’s  third collection, presented  during the London Design Festival 2009, among which was Lars Frideen’s amazing work.

Part of this are the 360 degree shelf and the 10 degree chair, both coming in a flat pack and to be simply assembled/disassembled by sliding and (un-)interlocking the parts together. Elements are easily connectable to their twin, augmenting the possible combinations and uses.
