Artist and lensman Martyn Thompson is revered in the design world as an interiors photographer who, decades ago, changed the way rooms were shot. His moody, lush cinematic photographs stem from his beginning as a fabric and fashion designer. Now he returns to his love of fabric design with his collection of rugs for Perennials. His books, Interiors and Working Space: An Insight Into the Creative Heart (Hardie Grant), are deep dives into his world of paint-spattered textiles, fever-dream rooms, which are poetic and compelling at once.
