We are honored to showcase these amazing stills and an animation by Alex York and Iain Banks of Recent Spaces:

We were commissioned by an interior designer to produce a series of still interior shots of a London apartment called Seaford Court.

Most of the furniture, lighting and objects were specified by the designer and are real-world pieces.

Good news for all the aviation fans out there: this time we present you one of the most popular airliners in the industry – the Lufthansa A320. You can admire aircraft in all its glory – with a little help of Corona! Marcin Gruszczyk tells us about his experiences during the work on this project.
