From Elte’s new vintage arrivals, I identified a broader narrative of mid-century design, where ornamental details, sculptural forms, and organic fluidity coexist with modernist principles. Building on this, I art directed the photoshoot, selecting a warm mid-toned grey backdrop to complement the rich wood, and photographed the pieces to highlight their craftsmanship. I also wrote and designed the Journal article, focusing on each designer and their distinctive aesthetics.
