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.

This month Marcus and the team at SMH, Inc was asked to conceptualize and style four distinct office spaces in the Design Within Reach flagship store, on 57th & 3rd Avenue, New York. In order to showcase some of DWR's beautiful pieces, Marcus came up with four spaces inspired loosley by late fashion editor and design connoisseur, Diane Vreeland, a contemporary Eco Designer, the late American Architect, Philip Johnson and an eclectic diarist and photographer - choosing paint colors, artwork and props that would reflect each personality. Visit the store to view the spaces, we'd love know what you think!

Many Thanks to our product partners that helped us out with supplying some of the beautiful props and art for the space Tappan, Santimetre Studio and Kikkerland.
