still from the video

collaboration between wallpaper* magazine and the legendary art director peter saville
and photographer nick knight.

in 1996, peter saville moved into a 2,000 sq ft mayfair lair that he worked with hacienda
designer ben kelly to turn into a celebration of 1970s 'shag pad' – or garçonniere as saville
prefers – styling. the apartment, as it was known, soon became a draw for popstars
(and long-term saville fans) such as pulp's jarvis cocker and suede's brett anderson.
saville had to vacate the apartment after a few short, happy years but he still keeps
most if its contents in shipping containers in west london.

wallpaper did an attempt to create an abstract update of the apartment.

see the stunning tart cards collection

tart cards are the means by which many london prostitutes advertise their services.
step into almost any central london phone box and you can contemplate up to 80 cards
inviting you to be tied, teased, spanked or massaged. wallpaper asked designers – from
students to superstars – to find the tart hiding in every type and create their own graphic
numbers. along with a selection in the magazine, all 450 cards will be on display
at kesselkramer's outlet, in london from 22nd to 29th june.
