MaNoOtTa and polimasa get proper photo sessions as we ramp-up for this years ICFF in New-York and M&O Paris!

As we ramp-up for the two fairs that ampluspm will attend to promote ateliercetrei designed objects we managed to also find time to take some proper stills of our objects. As such both SalonB and our own hq were used as primary locations for two distinct photo sessions for MaNoOtTa and polimasa. Pavel and Petruta Curagau from YWP Studio were fast on the job trying to catch the perfect natural light that floods both spaces. Many thanks to our friend Stefan Craciunoiu for trusting us a whole weekend with his special space! Stay tuned, for MaNoOtTa and polimasa content will soon be uploaded to our website!
