Shooting the Eileen Gray show at The Aram Store, Covent Garden
I was recently commissioned to shoot the Aram store‘s 50th anniversary exhibition, featuring the iconic masterpieces of 20th Century design that were first introduced to the UK market by Aram Designs, with original pieces by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand.
The show on the second floor was entirely dedicated to Eileen Gray’s work (Zeev Aram holds the worldwide head license for her designs). I must say the pieces she designed while living in Garavan, Southern France, such as her Roquebrune rug or the Menton Table hold a special place in my heart.
Giving a feeling of complex spaces
Last month we photographed a beautifully renovated townhouse in Belgravia,
featuring complex spaces opening onto each over, with hardly any separation walls,
only framing the view onto the next volume.

Arabeschi di Latte: Food remix / a post production lab, Boffi showroom, London Design Festival 2013
The child of Francesca Sarti, the all-female group is based between Milan, London, Florence and Rome. Arabeschi di Latte is evidence of what happens when an architect puts their education into something other than building – Sarti studied architecture before deciding that food would be “the perfect tool to create architecture without construction”. Her dissertation on food kiosks prompted the collective’s DIY approach: “The kiosk is an ancient structure serving street food, which becomes an example of micro-architecture with great add-on potential. It acts as an urban meeting place. With our projects we activate and read spaces through food,” she writes.
“We try to emphasize the specificity of each space and its context.
For example we recently made a dinner for the anniversary of an Italian brand that produces hardware tools. The dinner, served along a designed work bench, took inspiration from the factory space itself, with its long corridors, high ceilings and industrial machinery.

Domaine de Boisbuchet, Charente, France
This summer I was lucky enough to spend some time at the Domaine de Boisbuchet
in Charente, France, photographing its emblematic pavilions and installations.
This incredible workshop venue, supported by Vitra and Centre Pompidou, is a constantly renewed design and architecture experimentation playground.
