New York-based fashion photographer and filmmaker Gordon von Steiner is known for the creative direction of cinematic music videos, full of charisma and intrigue – most recently, Australian singer-songwriter and actor Troye Sivan’s ‘Something to Give Each Other' – as well as his work with luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dior and Jacquemus.
Now, von Steiner can add ‘product designer’ to his resumé, having created a chair in collaboration with House of Léon, a Los Angeles-based furniture brand founded by twin brothers Jordan and Steven Neman. The chrome and leather ‘Chair #1’ – its name hinting at more to come from the partnership – takes cues from modernist architecture yet also feels thoroughly contemporary.
