Project Overview
Thence By Descent is a Seattle-based furniture consultancy and sourcing studio whom hired Erik Sven to help their brand tell a story.
The interior photography focuses on light, rhythm, and repetition, allowing the architecture, custom fixtures, and product displays to read clearly without distraction. Rather than amplifying the space through spectacle, the work centers on how the store feels to move through — open, considered, and quietly expressive.
In addition to photographing the completed interior, Erik was engaged to extend the brand’s visual language through post-production work on existing campaign assets. This included removing studio elements, refining reflections, and integrating atmospheric sky and cloud details into mirrored surfaces — creating images that felt expansive and intentional while remaining grounded in the physical reality of the space. Together, the work provided FRANKiE4 with a cohesive visual system that supported press coverage, in-store presentation, and brand storytelling across multiple formats.
