Residential Series from The Andrew Geller Architectural Archive
We like unconventional thinkers here, the ones who think differently, who see possibility and disregard limitation. Mid-century architect Andrew Michael Geller fits snugly into this bracket with his experimental approach to architecture, having helped shape what we perceive mid-century modern archit
Short Film on Eames Chair Creation
I'm not going to lie, today has been somewhat of a frustrating uphill battle in the content department, we've found ourselves stockpiled with certain subjects and thin on the ground with others. Thankfully though I came across this great image of Ray Eames creating a selection of chairs that reminde
Creekside Residence by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson
It's pretty rare for me to get completely blown away by modern architecture, it's often the likes of Richard Neutra, Philip Johnson, and Frank Lloyd Wright that are the go to for a little architectural inspiration, but this home built only five years back by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson stopped me dead i
Pescher House by Richard Neutra
I've just noticed that this week the blog has become a bit of a graveyard, with Max Lamb and Aaron Rose the only souls amongst our content still living. I'd just like to confirm we don't have any prejudice against those breathing, it's just a coincidence that this has transpired. Saying this I'm not
Mid Century Modern Imagery from Frederick Barr
I've quietly continued to get inspired by the mid-century era yet in recent times I've not brought anything across onto the blog in correspondence with this. Today I felt it was about time I stopped hoarding my sources of inspiration and shared them with you all, so here we are with a collection of
Photography by Morgan Satterfield
Morgan Satterfield for those that don't know is the marvellous mind behind the Brick House blog which we've enjoyed seen develop over the years, she certainly is one talented and dedicated lady in my eyes. Our internet travels over to her page are never disappointing and are always packed full of de
Short Film on Greta Magnusson Grossman
I'd like to see more women getting coverage for their great design, so I've brought across a short film celebrating the work of Swedish pioneer Greta Magnusson Grossman, which was kindly put together by the good folks over at Gubi in Copenhagen. Gretta was known in the 40's, 50's and 60's for her ic
The Albini Desk by Franco Albini
What's most disappointing about the internet at the moment is the lack of information regarding past designers and architects. I find it highly frustrating searching for the designers webpage and they haven't even bothered investing in a place to showcase their work. Often this can be put on the hea
Interview with American Photographer Leslie Williamson
As the office begins to become over run with books, Leslie Williamson’s Handcrafted Modern has become a firm favourite amongst our ranks. So it’s little surprise that the photographer come author made it to the top of our interview hit list, and fortunately we were able to find a gap in her sche
A Selection of Furniture from Mid Mod Design
Desk designed by Cees Braakman for Pastoe in 1958. Well before I’ve even started writing this post I’ve lied, in the title it says this furniture is all from the Mid Mod Design website when actually it’s a mixture of two sites, Mid Mod Design and Mass Modern Design. But since both of these sit
Short Film on the Aluminium Chair by Charles & Ray Eames
Anyone fond of the Eames pair? Yes us too, which is why I was surprised to come across this fantastic film that documents the making of their iconic Aluminium Chair sitting with so few views over on Vitra's Vimeo page. The duos design of this chair was put together in 1958 and looking back this was
