Villa Design Group’s promotional images are scenographic sketches from a yet to be realised film adaptation of interior designer Jean Royere’s 1976 memoir Arab Living and Loving as seen by a French Interior Decorator. Each image represents a different chapter from Royere’s travels across the Middle East in the 1950s, and the many clients he encountered. Koenraad Dedobbeleer’s posters disseminate images of objects from National Museums Liverpool. A jingle made by Elena Narbutaite, Kevin Rice and DES can be heard throughout the city, transmitted as an ice-cream van’s musical announcement.
