"As well evidenced by all those "Furniture And Naked People" spreads we've posted about in the past, nothing quite compliments the sensuous curves of an Eames chair or the playful visual rhythms of a George Nelson marshmallow sofa than the sensuous curves and, uh, playful rhythms of a gorgeous naked model. It's an idea that's taken to its logical extreme at the beautifully designed NakedModern, a design showcase and artist portfolio site that takes its nudes as seriously as it does a shopping spree at Knoll or DWR: you'll find work from six different photographers that's at least as notable for the beauty of the models as it is for the stunning price tags of the furniture they're stretching across. But don't think it's too deadly serious; all those outtakes they've posted from the various photo shoots prove that even design snobs have a sense of humor too. "
[Editor note: We never shop or buy at DWR or other catalog retailers. The furniture we shoot is exclusively vintage original]

Skip Forrest is heating up Water Street with NakedModern, a new photography business that shoots curvaceous nudes wrapped around curvaceous modern furniture. An ad in the spring issue of Modernism magazine offered a sneak peek of the bold style. Son of acclaimed interior designer Robert Forrest, Skip owns a 1949 ranch-style pad furnished in “sensual modern,” and tools around in a 1971 280SL Mercedes formerly owned by the late art patron, Peg Bradley,whose home was decorated by the elder Forrest.
