Tell us a little bit about Recom and the kind of work that you do.
Christoph Bolten: We’re a happy and diverse band of creators, united by a boundless enthusiasm for visual arts. From our base in a creative enclave of East London to the energy of Brooklyn, Los Angeles, Stuttgart, Berlin, and Sofia, our international studios have given us huge capacity and an incredible depth of talent. At the same time, because each studio is small and unique, we keep the distinctive spirit of a boutique operation.
We’re perhaps best known for high-end, imaginative, and aesthetic automotive work, but we stay fresh and creative with a huge variety of projects, for instance in fashion or fine art. We put a lot of value on strong creative relationships, whether it’s photographers, art directors, editors, or more unusual creative collaborations such as cutting-edge product designers, or engineers of concept cars.
Why is Recom Farmhouse called Recom Farmhouse?
CB: I get asked that quite a bit! It’s an odd name, isn’t it? Originally I started as Farmhouse Post — I spent my childhood roaming the farms of my village, and the farm for me always was a place where good things grow. It sounded great, and of course, there is the connotation with the render farms where everything comes together. And once we merged with Recom, it was important for me to keep some of that identity — hence Recom Farmhouse.
