Heima Home & Lifestyle Catalog (2010)

What an incredible honor it was to collaborate with Heima Home & Lifestyle on this one! Heima commissioned me to design the furniture and lifestyle catalog for their second collection, entitled, "From Heima, With Love." This revolved around furniture, home, and designed items which were distinctly romantic, dreamy, cozy, retro-inspired--and were likewise inspired by lifestyles of real people.
