Marion Berrin photographs Le Corbusier’s La Radieuse
Today I've been around the houses in search for content, as my first preference is always to try and find a short film as I feel that these best convey a project, especially if they involve some kind of interview with the creative minds behind each. A handful of topics however, like architecture for
Views of the Jean Prouvé Exhibition at Jousse Entreprise
Our good friends at WO AND WÉ, a site that I’ve admired for quite a while now, put me onto this Jean Prouvé exhibiton that started last month at Jousse Entreprise, a gallery in Paris that showcases a range of well-known designers like Le Corbusier, Serge Mouille, and Alexandre Noll. Most of whic
Iconic Images Explores Namibia
Admittedly this is somewhat of a curve ball, but I like to think we pride ourselves on keeping a diverse mix of content to keep you all inspired. So with this in mind we're leaning quite a lot towards photography with this film following the company of Denis Glennon, who runs a series of safari tour
Leslie Williamson Photographs Constantin Brancusi’s Atelier
I better insert a spoiler alert before we begin today as I've once again raided the blog of photographer Leslie Williamson as she puts together the second edition of her handcrafted modern book. Now I really hope I'm not revealing too much that is to reach the final publication, I'm assuming these a
Ceramics by Fumihiro Toda
Coming across great ceramics and pottery has been quite an easy task for me lately, it doesn't take long to find an artist I like whilst browsing a Japanese shop or website, this obviously gets me researching on the specific individual. Unfortunately when I arrive at their portfolio page they're usu
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
Plywood Furniture in the Marcel Breuer Archive
Mr Breuer isn’t exactly a stranger to our archive, these modernist designers always seem to crop up again and again with their classic timeless designs, ones that I’m extremely envious of. Take for example these plywood furniture pieces by Marcel sourced from his ever growing digital archive, it
MUJI Meets IDEE, A Set of Case Studies
MUJI happens to be one of those interesting companies who offer a selection of products that sit quite close to our general aesthetic, but maybe miss out on the craft/independent element. They rarely highlight the original makers, possibly because a lot of the ideas are duplicated from the handiwork
Olga Bennet Photographs Kim Mckechnie’s Studio
Another great week begins and with it I thought we'd make a return trip to view the progressive portfolio of Australian photographer Olga Bennet. As many will hopefully know Olga is someone who's work we have admired here in the past and it's been brilliant to watch her talents flourish and mature o
Mies, Aalto and Le Corbusier Interiors Photographed by Mary Gaudin
New Zealand born photographer Mary Gaudin has been impressing me lately with a selection of photography over on her portfolio website, particularly a section of it which documents a variety of architects homes and builds. Three of my favourites feature here, Alvar Aalto, his home and and office in H
Inside the Studio of Japanese Potter Takeryo Kawaguchi
Today I've come across another special little feature that really grabbed my attention, it's an inside look at the studio of Japanese potter Takeryo Kawaguchi. He makes some incredible pieces like bowls, cups and tea pots so it's great to see the process and the environment that he creates in. He wa
Homewares and Lifestyle Imagery at Stroll Store
It's always great to see lifestyle imagery of ceramics, furniture and other objects as it gives you an idea of how these pieces function in a real world environment. It's something we're looking to add into our shop in the near future but it's quite hard to master, we've tried lots of options, both
