To celebrate Max Mara The Cube’s 10th anniversary, and in honor of a craft we love, we asked a group of photographers to give us their interpretation of this idea, with only one caveat in mind: life, cubed.
“Since the first day i picked up the camera, I knew anything else would just be a hobby.”
Erik Madigan Heck
At 14 years of age, American photographer Erik Madigan Heck received a camera as a gift from his mother, a painter. This gift marked a watershed moment in his life and Erik developed a painter-like approach, becoming well known for his dreamlike images deeply rooted in colour theory.

“That is why I love these down coats - because they conjure your childhood memories.”
Koto Bolofo
Koto focused on the evocative power of the Max Mara The Cube saying “A coat is protection of your inner soul and also conjures memories. When I was about to go outside as a little boy, into the snow, my Mom would wrap a coat around me. A coat makes me think of my Mother, wrapping me up. That is why I love these down coats — because they conjure your childhood memories.”

“A coat can be a safe haven where you can hide yourself or disappear from others.”
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Cube, Hellen van Meene has created 3 portraits to express the ethereal and the timeless, much like The Cube itself.
