Karl Lagerfeld Photographs Iconic Furniture From Cassina.

Are you guys ready for a massive dose of amazeballs today? Karl Lagerfeld and Cassina are in da house – Make some noise (if you’re with me)! Woop!

Needless to say, I nearly fell of my chair when I saw this collaboration between Karl and Cassina. This project was Lagerfeld‘s first ever collaboration with a furniture brand. He was commissioned to photograph a selection of furniture from Cassina’s iconic collections. When placed under the sharp eye of Karl Lagerfeld, the furniture takes on new and mysterious qualities.

“As I enter the room I have less than a second to find graphic composition. Making the object stand out, both mysterious and unusual whilst remaining a piece of furniture.” – Karl Lagerfeld

These photos are currently on display at the Cassina Showroom in Paris. The partnership will be extended during Milan Design Week 2013 at Cassina’s historical showroom on Via Durini.

Check out the fantastic backstage video below showing Karl in action in his iconic studio. Be still my beating heart.

P.S. Some further reading for you –

+ Yours truly (cross)dressed as Karl (here and here) for a friend’s birthday last year. The theme was superhero dress-up and I went as, you guessed it – Super Karl. Hilarious! Or so I thought…
