# Season-Informed Still Life Photoshoots Melanie Abrantes Debuts Her Line in a Beautiful Setting By Kalin Ned | Published 2018-09-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-photoshoot References: [design-milk](https://design-milk.com/melanie-abrantes-latest-collection-fits-perfectly-dutch-still-lifes/) & [melanieabrantes](http://www.melanieabrantes.com/) Melanie Abrantes' latest collection of [sustainable homeware objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fyrn-studio-series) is debuted in a beautiful still life photoshoot. The presentation is done in collaboration with photographer Melanie Riccardi and stylist Genevieve Bandrowski who extracted the romantic quality behind the designer products and set it against a backdrop that could be mistaken for a "masterpiece inside an art gallery." The images in the still life photoshoot are appropriately inspired by Dutch seasonality as they embody the color palettes that are associated with each of the four seasonal changes. From the coziness of Fall and the coldness of Winter to the awakening of Spring and the warmth of Summer, Melanie Abrantes' collection consists of [wooden candle holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ilan-collection), hardwood vases, a black marble ashtray, pink marble pedestal bowls, and charcoal cork planters.
