“To Build a Chaise: A Massproductions Publication”
As editor-in-chief, I wrote and edited this book for Massproductions. The book details the Swedish furniture manufacturer’s launch of two chaise lounge chairs, the 4PM, and, in homage to the Italian designer Enzo Mari, a DIY version – the 4PM Self Build. Available for purchase on Massproductions.se, the book includes a forward, a brief history of the chaise lounge chair, and interviews with designers Chris Martin (Massproductions creator-in-chief), Michael Marriott, and Pia Wallén, as well as artists Chris Fallon and Hank Grüner (all of which I wrote and edited), as well as DIY instructions for the 4PM Self Build (edited by me).

Video for Hotel Terrestre, Puerto Escondido, Mexico
After a visit to Hotel Terrestre, a Oaxacan wellness retreat that is entirely solar-powered and made from and by local materials and artisans, I drew from the photos and video footage I made during my stay to produce this video. The Grupo Habita property is designed by Taller de Arquitectura X, based in Mexico City. Designers Diana Backal and Fernanda Romandia oversaw interiors. My article on the project will be in an upcoming issue of Interior Design magazine. Photo copyright Mairi Beautyman.
