Well, that explains why he chose a leather-looking sofa for his latest work: The Living Room. To mark the return of life outside the house, the photographer juxtaposes home comforts with stylistic experimentations in this limited edition zine shot for GREATEST.
A sofa transported from one location to the next lends an air of informality to Paris’ most historic sites, suggesting a sense of ease and intimacy one finds in their own living room.
"Uninterrupted comfort amidst the continuous hustle."
