Handcrafted Ceramic Work by Lubna Chowdhary
Sometimes I get all the credit when finding content for the blog, most of the time they’re all my own findings, but on certain occasions I get help from collaborators and those that email in submissions. Not just from creatives and designers that want me to showcase their own work, sometimes even
Objects and Furniture Designed by Tomás Alonso
It’s not the first time that I’ve come across the work of Tomás Alonso, mainly noting his fantastic furniture in the past, but I’ve also been admiring the smaller objects that he’s produced over the years.
Ceramics by Justine Allison
Often you find out a lot about a creative by their 'about' or 'bio' page, I like to hear what they have to say and what their inspirations are, whether it be as a maker or a designer. Through all these years finding and sourcing inspiration for the site I have come across many common traits that con
A Modernist in Suburbia, Kenneth Wood Architect
Usually I try to find some sort of film to inspire me each week, it's been a category on the site that we've enjoyed filling up over the years. It also seems like a lot of people respond to film in a positive way, I guess when you can see and hear at the same time all the senses come alive, even if
Photographic Artist Jan Hardisty
Although I'm not necessarily an 'art' buff, I still find myself getting inspired by a multitude of artists both from the past and present. A link between those that do inspire me is an element of abstraction, such as Picasso or Salvador Dali, maybe even Alexander Calder to throw a sculptural artist
Architectural Photography by Ippei Shinzawa
When it comes to architecture most just snoop around design firms websites, checking out the houses and admiring the images in different portfolios. But I seem to find myself looking more and more at the credits section where they associate each photographer with a specific house or collection of ph
Ceramic Houses by Rowena Brown
A fantastic short film by Ian Skelly on London based ceramic artist Rowena Brown, who's a very talented maker indeed. I've known about Rowena's works for a long time but it's through fantastic videos like this that we get the chance to see the real process behind the objects. In my opinion, when you
Sara Flynn Exhibition at Erskine, Hall & Coe
I thought we'd return with a little update on Erskine, Hall and Coe today as they run a great deal of exhibitions that are well worth making a trip to see. They introduced me previously to the work of Mexican artist Gustavo Perez, which I highlighted to a few of you here, and today I was pleased to
Seating, Lighting and Storage Inspiration at Augustus Greaves
Some cracking inspiration that I found on my travels today, this time a bit more local to us at Augustus Greaves, based between Oxford and London. They specialise in selling pieces of design, whether it's objects such as vases or lights, or furniture and tables, I decided to pick up a selection from
Lennon’s Poster by Peter Dean
I like creative people because they go that extra mile, even if it makes them look a little obsessed and, dare I say it, crazy. It doesn't matter, it's being created and that's it, which is exactly the kind of attitude that pushes the boundaries of what we conceive possible. I love this idea that th
Adam Currie Photographs the Barbican
One of the things I love about what we do here is the connections we make, and the diversity that this presents. Some days we strive to preserve the legacy that an individual has left behind, others feature creatives in their prime, and today we highlight the handiwork of someone just starting out a
Blueware Vases by Glithero
I'm doing the unthinkable today by returning to the same creative who's work we showcased yesterday, but before we get inundated with complaints I better mention he's a filmmaker highlighting some really inspiring makers and shakers. Yesterday Petr Krejci introduced us all to the Czech collective th
