Swedish studio esinam is not your usual architecture and interior design studio. Armed with a deep sensibility for the minute and unnoticed details that make up our experience of the cities, neighbourhoods and homes that we spend our lives in, the studio lovingly ‘draws the portrait’ of some of the world’s most famous capitals. The ‘Elevations’ project, an architectural prints series featuring detailed drawings of renowned urban buildings and landmarks, was launched in January 2014 and is perhaps what the studio is most famous for. Focusing more on the craftsmanship of the drawing itself, the creative duo behind studio esinam allows itself to be surprised by the unexpected details and facts in each city they explore. So far the Elevations series includes prints themed after Paris, Tokyo, Berlin, Stockholm, Gothenburg and Brooklyn, with a new print about London currently in the making, available as limited editions and measuring 65 x 100cm. We particularly love the way these prints have been photographed in various contexts and together with different objects, a treatment that further reveals studio esinam’s refined design aesthetic and attention to detail.
