Once again Marcus was asked to Art Direct many of the spreads featured in current Fall Williams Sonoma Cooks catalogs in San Francisco. Taking a very graphic organized approach to many of the spreads, something close to Marcus heart, Marcus tackled spreads on wine, Thanksgiving, kitchen tools to name a few. The Fall Catlogs are always a favorite, rich in tones, textures and with a moodier approach to lighting.

It’s always a pleasure to work with the Williams Sonoma teams, Huge thanks to all these super talented folks: Food Stylist’s Merilee Bourdin, George Dolese, Props Stylist’s Beverly Hyde, Lynsey Fryers and Suzie Myers, Photographers Anson Smart and Sang An.

Happy Thanksgiving to All!

It was such a pleasure to be asked by one of our favorite Producer’s Karla Springer to work on the new PB line Modern Baby which launched earlier this Fall. Modern Baby is a new division by Pottery Barn aimed at Mom’s (and Dad’s) that want a fresh take on furniture and accessories to build a room for your new baby.

Working with the brief that the brand wanted distinct and concepted rooms, Marcus came up with schemes for a Hipster, Scandi, Luxe and Small Space themed rooms, using props and design classics found from a variety of sources in San Francisco that reflected each of the rooms with it’s own personality.

Working with super talented Photographer Shaun Sullivan was great after many years, Thanks to Prop Assistants Leah Martin and Aja Coon for all their help on this exciting new project,

In late Summer, 2018, Marcus made the move west, leaving behind nearly 15 years in New York settling in Laguna Beach, a beachside town 45 mins (without traffic) from LA. For Marcus it meant packing up an apartment and 2 storage units in Manhattan and Queens, not an easy thing to do in less than 2 weeks.

After shedding a tear or two after leaving a city that Marcus holds close to his heart, Marcus embraced a new life settling into a 1930’s beach cottage he calls “The Treehouse” You enter the house over a bridge and once inside you quickly realize you are totally surrounded by the tallest gum trees ever. Once owned by a famous Suffragette that lived amongst a community on the property, the house is a classic cottage with not much unchanged since it was built.

Skylights allow light to fall into the whitewashed living space, there are plenty of shelves to allow Marcus to display his beloved ceramic collection, a priority when he was looking. Laguna Beach is a haven that boasts beautiful beaches and a strong community of characters. Once an Artist’s community that thrived in the 1930’s and 1940’s, it was a place where bohemians flocked.

A far cry from the big smoke but an exciting new adventure, Marcus still travels for work but enjoys the return to the beach and the calmer life outside of his usual hectic schedule, watch out for further posts as he explores the area.

At Studio Marcus Hay we are always wearing different hats and we were thrilled when St John Knits, based in Irvine, California asked Marcus to design and concept their showroom for their Pre Fall, 19 Market month in their headquarters.

As Marcus has just moved to Southern California, the timing was perfect and while we usually travel across the country for projects, Marcus was excited to have a project so close to home and to be able to discover new resources in the local area.

Picking up on a Californian vibe as recorded in their latest campaign, Marcus used iconic design pieces designed by once Californian based Ray and Charles Eames Also using native plants and even incorporating a cool new coffee table designed by Goop for CB2 and marble pieces by Brooklyn based company Fort Standard.

For the latest Eileen Fisher Home Collection for Garnet Hill, Marcus Art Directed the season for Fall, 18 with a combination of influences. Working with talented set builder Matt Carstens, Marcus used the Japanese wood technique Shou Sugi Ban on a number of sets in both darker and lighter tones. Taking influence from Eileen herself, who was heavily influenced by Japan when she first started her business in 1973 in New York City, inspired by style and longevity of the classic kimono.

You can see the Japanese influence subtly woven through the collection of images and sets with Piet Mondrain inspired walls, ceder Japanese inspired bathrooms with a soaking tub and metal rings, metal work being a large part of Japanese Design

Prop Stylist Carin Scheve did a beautiful job of supplying an amazing collection of custom made art and props, Christina Watkinson who is a master at soft styling wove her special magic and of course the beautiful Photography of Maura McEvoy who always delivers a special and dedicated approach. Marcus feels very lucky to be able to work with such talented folks.

Last year in Austin, Texas, Marcus had the pleasure of working with the amazing Crate & Barrel team in Austin Texas, where we spent a couple of weeks shooting the Summer Outdoor catalog in some amazing Austin locations.

It was the first time Marcus has worked on the Art Direction of the Crate and Barrel catalog but has had a long history with the company in other roles and brands so it was very exciting to work with the wonderful Photographer Alec Hemer once again and talented Prop Stylist Joe Maer, of who Marcus has known for many years in New York. 

Marcus is looking forward to more Crate and Barrel projects, stay tuned!

Marcus was thrilled to have the opportunity to Art Direct for the Eileen Fisher Home Group for Garnet Hill on the Spring Summer Catalog.

Shot at the Garnet Hills Studios in Exeter, New Hampshire Marcus worked with the talented Set Building team led by Matt Carstens to create mini worlds that felt at home with the beautiful product available for us to shoot including some exciting new color ways and fabrications.  

Inspired by the DNA of The Eileen Fisher Company, Marcus channeled influences including a homage to the Adobe homes of the South West and a theme true to Eileen, Japan.

Working with the ever talented Photographer Maura McEvoy, Magical Soft Stylist’s Eduardo Vinueza and Christina Watkinson and the amazing Prop Stylist Carin Scheve, Marcus spent the week creating these elegant and understated shots.

What a joy to work on the latest CB2 Catalog in Chicago with Photographer Jonny Valiant once again late last year. Over a few weeks Marcus and his team shot and styled a portion as illustrated above for the latest Spring Catalog working with some exciting new furniture and design pieces which just keep getting better and better each saeson, Congrats to all at CB2 including our amazing AD Jennifer Moore who is always such a pleasure to work with. 

 Always a bigger then Ben Hur project, we spent almost a whole week just working on designing the sets with the lead set builder Jake, carefully creating authentic sets that resembled South American Social Clubs, Modern Moroccan Villas and West Coast Homes with that Californian vibe all from snowy Chicago, It really is quite amazing the magic that is created. 

High Society / A Tribute

High Society's main star, Grace Kelly in her last movie role, 1956

Grace Kelly in the famous pool scene

Left: The stars of the movie, Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly and Frank Sinatra, Right: Grace Kelly

Left: Grace Kelly, Right: The color palette in this room is just so inspiring, flesh pink, dusty aqua, tiffany blue, gray concrete and tiny splash of red 

The mix of old and new is apparent in the design of the movie, sports cars and french wallpaper mix together easily

French and Chinoiserie abound, Pale pinks and blue, Lemon yellow, So much detail in one film    

Gold gilding, model boats, gold trim and classical busts, still some of my favorite things  

Growing up as a child one of my favorite movies to watch on a rainy Sunday was High Society. 

I was always fascinated by American 1950’s, The interest grew largely from a friend of my mother's who donated her collection of 1950’s LIFE Magazines to me, thinking I would enjoy them. I’d love to idolize the Coke Ad’s in particular emulating the slicked back hair, stovepipe jeans and converse sneakers in my outfits to school, While most kids (and adults) were watching sports on Sunday, I used to watch hours of old movies, loving Jerry Lewis and Fred Astaire movie in particular. Of course High Society captured my attention with it’s design, color and fun musical numbers, performed by all the stars but the standout is Louis Armstrong who belts out some great tunes.  

The production value is amazing in High Society, Filmed in Technicolor, the attention to color is just spot on, Famed Art Director and Production Designer, Cedric Gibbons designed the look and costumes were designed by Helen Rose. High Society was released in 1956 American, It’s regarded as a musical comedy film directed by Charles Walters and stars Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, and Frank Sinatra. Based on the play The Philadelphia Story by Philip Barry, the film is about a successful popular jazz musician who tries to win back the affections of his ex-wife, who is preparing to marry another man. The movie was shot mostly in and around Clarendon Court in Newport, Rhode Island.

I would say this film has hugely influenced my color palette in particular, I have always loved a dusty pastel and this film is full of them, While I feel I am going through a more monochromatic phase currently, the appeal of the pastel still hits me, It's often this combination with contrast hit of bright color or with a metallic crinkly gold that I like best. 

This film featured Kelly's final role before she became Princess of Monaco; it was released three months after her marriage to Prince Rainier III. She is simply beautiful in this movie and remains one of my favorite actress's to this day.

It was such a delight for Marcus and his team to have the opportunity to work with Photographer Anders Schonnemann again on Williams Sonoma's Cooks latest catalogs in San Francisco. Shot late last year, these shots are starting to emerge and it's a joy to see them in print.

Marcus's Assistants Aja Coon and Leah Martin both worked hard with me scouring San Francisco plant nurseries for just the perfect trees and botanicals for these series of shots including Meyer Lemons in particular and a cross section of every citrus you could imagine, even finding citrus blossom in the middle of winter.

Marcus's years at Real Simple Magazine have put him in good practice for organizing as he continue's to Style (and Art Direct) such shoots with aprons styled in precise mathematical order and drawer organizers, not to mention the top 7 trash cans available from the home brand. 

There comes a certain satisfaction from such precision, something he hopes to roll more into the reality of his own home life ; )

For the January issue of Better Homes & Gardens, Marcus worked on a couple of section's of the magazine once again with the ever wonderful Photographer Kat Teutsch. 

On The Do Not Disturb feature SMH,Inc got to work with Producer Eugenia Santiesteban Soto creating an great news years resolution story on embracing time for yourself, space to unplug and recharge. In the words of the article "We're all about the small indulgences, weather it's making a date with a bubble bath or unwinding with a hot cup of tea" 

For the palette Marcus decided to use a rosy pastel world that evoked a sense of a calm and helped to harp on the old saying that you must take time to smell the roses, working with wintry botanicals and creating cozy spaces, the team enjoyed working with product available and credited in the magazine. 

For the Home section of the magazine for January, Marcus also styled a Warm Whites page that was inspired by sparkly glass, the inside of sea shells and iridescent undertones. As the issue comes out just before Christmas it evokes the mood of the season.
