Project Overview:
A charming romantic drama that follows Leah, the owner of a small organic market, and Jonas, a celebrity chef and reality star, as they navigate career challenges and an unexpected romance.
The production design played a key role in visually contrasting their two worlds—Leah’s warm, earthy market and Jonas’ sleek, high-profile culinary world.
Design Concept & Approach:
Leah’s Organic Market: Designed to feel inviting, community-focused, and filled with natural textures like wood, greenery, and warm lighting to reflect her passion for fresh, sustainable food.
Jonas’ Celebrity Chef Persona: His world was designed with a modern, polished aesthetic—stainless steel kitchens, upscale dining spaces, and a structured, high-energy environment.
The sets evolved as Leah and Jonas influenced each other, blending elements of their personal styles to reflect their growing connection.
Execution & Challenges:
Transformed real locations into cinematic versions of a cozy organic market and a high-end culinary setting.
Carefully selected props, food styling, and kitchen equipment to enhance authenticity.
Balanced the visual storytelling to reflect the tension and romance between the characters through set details and spatial design.
