Despina Curtis, Stylist: “One of my previous shoots for Case Da Abitare, photographed by Thomas Brown, was based on the idea of a graphic house. I found great shapes and patterns in obsure old books about the street signs and signage of 1960s America.”
“The primary acid colors were very much inspired by pop-art paintings.”
Gio Ponti: “That mix of pattern and texture inspired a shoot of mine for Wallpaper which was based on multi-faceted furniture and photographed by Andy Barter. I commissioned an artist to paint the background pattern, which took a day, and then I chose furniture with facets and layers that would blend into the background, creating an optical illusion confusing what was 3-D and what was 2-D. The shoot was chosen for the magazine’s cover that month, which was hugely flattering.”
