Karin Meyn is widely regarded as one of the world’s leading interior stylists. As the Creative Director of Piet Boon,the renowned Netherlands-based design studio, she oversees the creation of high-end homes, hotels, and luxury products for some of the world’s most iconic brands.
In 2015, I was commissioned to shoot the visuals for her book, « Piet Boon Styling by Karin Meyn. » This 320-page, large-format edition (25x33cm) was a fantastic opportunity to capture her unique aesthetic and the studio’s sophisticated approach to design.
The shoot spanned three weeks across three different countries. With this new book, Karin Meyn’s objective was to showcase her signature style through a curated mix of apartments and houses.
The layout was designed around the tradition of moodboards, using a series of images to illustrate exactly how her styling was applied to each unique project. It’s a beautiful insight into her creative process and how she builds such cohesive atmospheres.
The production took us from the turquoise waters of the Caribbean (Bonaire Island) to the streets of Paris and across the Netherlands.
Karin Meyn was particularly keen to highlight the teamwork-driven approach of her studio. At the time, working with such a talented group of 12 people at Piet Boon Studio was an experience unlike any I’d had before. It was a true pleasure to collaborate with all of them. The studio has developed a deeply authentic style, and I was thrilled to be part of bringing that vision to life. Thanks to the whole team!
