It was time to take a trip to the coast… The editorial ‘Facing the Ocean’ was photographed by MAX VON TREU for Mr ICON in Portugal. To be precise, at the trendsetting Casa da Chá in Porto.
The restaurant Casa de Chá da Boa Nova, built on a rocky cliff in Leça da Palmeira, is the ambitious project of star-studded Chef Rui Paula, who is dedicated, like hardly anyone else, to the modern cuisine of Portugal.
Thanks to the creative culinary concept and quality of service, Casa de Chá da Boa Nova shines radiantly in the Michelin sky – having won its first Michelin star in 2016, followed by its second in 2019 under the direction of Chef Rui Paula.
The singularity of the building which houses the restaurant remains a paradigm of architectural insertion into an exceptional landscape. Brainchild of architectural genius Pritzker Siza Vieira, the property is one of the most emblematic works of the renowned architect. Born from rocks, hand in hand with the sea, it is designated as a national monument and can be visited upon prior arrangement through the House of Architecture.
We present you the men’s fashion spread including a film – both from the hands of Max von Treu.

About MAX VON TREU
Max von Treu has a precise but inquisitive approach to photography. His work has a strong sense of storytelling frequently influenced by cinematic references.
This should come as no surprise as he studied cinematography in London, is still active in the medium and continues to work with moving images alongside his photographic projects.
In his work, Max manages to capture truth and intimate moments which manifest themselves in very graphical, almost painted compositions.
Amongst others he has worked for clients such as Vogue Ukraine, Puss Puss, mytheresa, Marc O Polo, someday, Hugo Boss.
