After much thought and deliberation I decided to do a small post on the Eames house, also known as Case Study House No. 8 since it was an experiment in American residential architecture sponsored by the Arts & Architecture magazine. They commissioned major architects of the day, such as Charles and Ray Eames, Eero Saarinen and Richard Neutra to design and build inexpensive and efficient model homes for the Unit …
Today I’ve decided to pull out some imagery from the Frank Leder archive, which in my opinion is really inspiring. It’s full of quirky imagery that’s not only humorous but also amazing photographically, if you put a lot of these on their own in a gallery they could stand as obscure pieces of art.

Fellow enthusiastic photographer and close friend to Charlotte, Brian Ferry seems to have held quite …
A slightly different twist to our usual content today, it’s quite rare that we focus on books per se but I still think it’s a prevalent part in both of our lives. I’m a book worm and tend to collect a lot of design orientated books that not only feature content for my brain to absorb and learn from but also inspiration in other fields as well. This could be architecture, furniture making, photography, craft, I guess my life pretty much runs …
