CHRIS CRAYMER / TRUE ROMANCE

"Mulberry have sponsored photographer Chris Craymer's first book - the images of which will be exhibited in the windows of Mulberry stores all over the world." - Dazed Digital

Chris Craymer's work has a certain edginess to it - somewhat reminiscent of Terry Richards portraits but without quite the same extraction of the subjects personality. This makes for a more marketable yet still raw image.

BLOOM / Jeff Miller


The flexibility of the wood makes this coat rack perfect for everyday hassle free use. The eight arms bend down like tree branches whenever a coat is hung on them, this way other coats hanging will not be disturbed and you can take your coat off the rack without making a mess. The arms work independently and the whole rack rotates for convenient use. More can be found at Cerruti Baleri , who Miller designed the coat rack for.

THE HOUSE BEHIND THE WALL / SLOVENIA

Normally modern villas with great views are located on a hillside, but this wall-like house not only opens up to a great view, but also blends the living space with nature. The structure of the house restricts the view such that the boundaries keeps out the sight of the surrounding messy structures.

CHAPULTEPEC SPACE


Origionally conceived in 2004 and completed in 2006 the Chapultepec Space in Baja is a shrine to modern minimalism. While the two images here show an interior view and the magnificent balcony the reality is that it is part of a large complex of townhomes. The view speaks for itself.
