As backdrop to an editorial story for July 2009 Wallpaper* magazine, Peter Saville's febrile imagination constructs an imaginary 'Erotic House' of Pop perversity, sexualising an entire post-modern environment and fetishising furniture, fashion and flesh alike.

Alongside these glossy spreads, we update the project with our final film highlight - a three-minute 'Making Of' short examining all the action behind the scenes of Peter Saville's truly unique Erotic House.
