Samuel & Sons, a premier supplier of decorative trimming (passementerie) for the high-end interior design market, turned to Tom Dolle Design to create a logo and branding program. Over the past decade, this program grew to include an iconic collection of still-life photography that has become one of the most well-recognized and respected advertising campaigns in the industry.



By explaining the creative process behind the photography, this book gives a unique glimpse into the mind of a designer. The 62 pages are filled with numerous images by New York photographers Monica Stevenson and Amos Chan, some presented publicly for the first time.
