In his design practice and philosophy Eugene Nahemow shares: I

look to simple, clean, contemporary architecture and details,

grounded in fine craftsmanship, that survive and surpass trends.

In Editions nothing is extraneous; details do not interrupt but add

balance. I started designing a selection of the Editions line that

incorporate the charred wood method of Shou-sugi- ban for the

reason that the Japanese used it -- the material does not burn or

allow insects to devour. My approach is to unify material, method

and design for lasting permanence and history.

The photography of Studio Nahemow design projects and Editions

produced for this presentation is an artistic collaboration with fine

art photographers. Documenting the design projects and the

Editions is an ongoing project. Rather than formal, traditional

interior views, the depictions reflect the vision and personal

viewpoint of the photographer. The purpose of this project is to

provoke thought, and in the collaboration of disciplines create

something new in the creation of original works of fine art

photography.
