Yes, but seeing something in the real world is even better …and that’s not always possible when you are buying something that is unique and hand made to order. At the same time product images just don’t cut it – you need setting and context. That’s why we have just done a photo shoot in Istanbul.

The key features they enjoy most about the house is its peacefulness and light.
