On Monday night (June 2), Scenery magazine celebrated the launch of its third issue at John Sandoe Books off the King’s Road. Exorbitantly beautiful, as per, the magazine by Simon B Mørch whisks us inside the homes of illustrious people from the worlds of fashion and culture, including legendary graphic designer Jean-Paul Goude, antiques dealer and former actor Peter Hinwood, art dealer and gallerist John Kasmin, and designer Andreas Kronthaler (whose spouse, Vivienne Westwood, incidentally opened her iconic boutique a bit further down the KR, back in the 1970s).
Here, Mørch delves into the new issue, explaining its origins, exploring its highlights, and revealing what, exactly, it was like entering Jean-Paul Goude’s space.
AnOther Magazine: What is Scenery, for the uninitiated?
Simon B Mørch: Scenery is a wall of sound, a publication that celebrates the art of photography as much as the spaces we live in. It’s a different point of view and hopefully somewhere you can find original stories and authentic imagery. Scenery is something that takes time to create, something that only can live on paper as a biannual publication.
AM: What was the starting point for this issue?
SBM: The issue always starts with an archive feature … we worked with Jean-Paul Goude for this issue, and his cut and paste style work inspired us to cut, paste and layer images in various ways. Each feature has a nod to this ‘method’ from complex collages to simple parings. I suppose this really is a way of creating a kind of panorama or showing a whole room without using a wide angle lens … and it just looks fantastic on the pages, that was really our main reason for doing it.
AM: What are some of the places you’ve photographed?
SBM: I love the Reese Studio feature … a story in two parts, the studio where brothers Sebastian and Nicolas and their team work on their restoration projects, as well as a private home in Paris they have recently worked on.
“Jean-Paul Goude, The French Correction, 1972. This is a self-portrait of JPG: two belly buttons, collaged together. JPG’s work is all about making his subject taller, broader. It’s simple and graphic.”Scenery Number Four, Courtesy of Scenery
“Peter Hinwood, two rooms in Marylebone. This is truly a magical place. And Peter is one of the most stylish people I have ever met. Look out for the lavish display of pineapples and his collection of barber signs.”Scenery Number Four, Courtesy of Scenery
AM: What was the biggest coup?
SBM: Jean-Paul Goude, Peter Hinwood and Kasmin … all old-timers who have been around for a long time. It’s not easy to impress any of them, nor to persuade them to shoot their houses. But I will say, they all seem pretty pleased with the outcome. We were also excited to be invited to do the first ever shoot of Andreas’s house, which he used to share with his late wife Vivienne Westwood – it’s an amazing and very rare insight into how his life has changed since Vivienne’s passing.
AM: Which other stories are you particularly excited about this time?
SBM: I love the upfront this time, Chris Lensz shot two stories both in New York. One in Chinatown and one in Brooklyn Heights. You can say they kind of go together … I love them because Marshall Neve (Chinatown) and Julia Wagner (Brooklyn Heights) both have such fantastic taste and point of view – both places are very stylish. And Chris has captured their spirit perfectly. The light is just the most beautiful.
AM: How did you get Andreas Kronthaler involved, and why were you interested in him from an interiors point of view?
SBM: I wanted to do Andreas for years – he’s a fascinating character and I fell in love with the house in the pandemic when he posted pictures of Vivienne in the house dressing up … It’s so special that he let us in and do this very personal feature of the house and of him. It’s worth buying the magazine just for the article.
“About Last Night: Photographs of unmade beds in an English stately home. If you look close enough you might find some unexpected treasures. The text for this about hangovers, by the novelist Zoe Dubno, is brilliant – and relatable.”Scenery Number Four, Courtesy of Scenery
“Horse Power: A truly amazing story about a young woman who has taken on this extraordinary challenge of taking over her family home (castle) in Tuscany, and training to compete in the Palio di Siena. We had the most incredible time there.”Scenery Number Four, Courtesy of Scenery
AM: And what drew you to Jean-Paul Goude?
SBM: I’ve been a JPG fan since I was a teenager and it seems he’s very aloof – it took me a long time to even get the first meeting. The house is a total wow, in so many ways … I knew it before I even saw it.
AM: What was it like entering his space?
SBM: It was many different things at the same time, you know … Often when you see a home or house for the first time, you also meet the person that lives there for the first time. So there are a lot of first impressions. Here first of all Karen, Jean-Paul’s wife (she’s in some of the pictures) is a very extraordinary person, and then JPG – I don’t know where to begin. We talked for hours the first time I met him. The house from the late 20s … leading into the Japanese garden … with the brutalist studio in the backyard … overlooking the whole of Paris … It was unreal and so real at the same time.
AM: What did you learn through the process of creating this issue, and what is your hope for it?
SBM: I learned that we like to do everything properly and in a very old-fashioned manner, and that’s not changing. It’s the Scenery trademark now. My hope is people buy it and enjoy it … I love seeing all the posts on Instagram, all the messages and feedback from the readers … I think Scenery already has a real following, I’m so happy and proud about that! We sell out, you know … Scenery is the real deal.

“Andreas Kronthaler. Andreas is a very tidy man, which I appreciate. And he did up the house room by room, and it is just so special. It’s less Austrian than I thought, but it was the best. You don’t want to leave. I think that’s a good sign.”Scenery Number Four, Courtesy of Scenery
