Erecting Peter Saville's Erotic House

By Alex Fury, 10:55 Tue 28 Apr 2009

In the unseasonably cold early hours of this morning Peter Saville's Erotic House began to take shape - with more than a little help from Gideon Ponte and a veritable platoon of assistance. Above are just three examples of the dozen-or-so sets Gideon will be creating during the course of the shoot - to the left, a clinical white tiled cube, black vinyl panels of our 'Seduction' room to the centre, and a rich, blood-flushed crimson corner at far right. At the moment, Francesca Burns and team are rifling through rails to decide on the all-important first look, while Wallpaper*'s Amy Heffernan is painstakingly unpacking cherry-picked classics of contemporary furniture design from their tissue-paper tombs to grace our fast-developing rooms. Later today, Gideon and co will be deconstructing and reconstructing Peter's erotic abode before your very eyes - our live feed is slated to begin early this afternoon, but check back on SHOWstudio or stay rivetted to our Twitter feed to find out exactly when the action will begin.
