Franco Albini Catalogue by Nilufar
Over the weekend I was pretty lucky to stumble across this amazing imagery that features Franco Albini’s works, some from the past and others that are more recent. I’ve actually discussed Mr Albini before when I pointed out his beautiful desk produced in 1958 by the one and only Knoll. This spec
Sycamore House by Aaron Neubert Architects
I'm completely in love with this Sycamore House by Aaron Neubert and his dedicated team of architects, it's my favourite piece of modern residential architecture that I've come across in a long while. Ironically this is mainly because it's been evolved from the 1950's building which existing on the
Lacquered Paper-Objects by Nendo
The talented individuals at Japanese design studio Nendo were kind enough to send me these photos of this wonderful new project that they've undertaken titled "Lacquered Paper-Objects". Basically they've produced a small container which has been created using a 3D printer that cuts, stacks and paste
Short Film on John Pomp Studios
I don't think I could ever grow tired of seeing glass being blown as it's such an enchanting process seeing the material transform from one state to another. I just wish there were more short films of this quality around, I get really excited when I stumble across short docs like we have here today
Herriott Grace Documentary Trailer
I always go through a short phase where I can't seem to find any inspiring films but usually some other type of content will satisfy my needs. Saying that, I came across this today on my hunt around the web and it instantly hit me that we've covered this fantastic duo before. Daniel previously wrote
Collection of Goods from Restoration Hardware
Neither of us spend much time watching television, however when we do take a little down time we can be caught watching documentaries on vintage antiques and restorations. So today I thought I'd bring a little of this influence into the format and my internet digging landed me upon the webpage of Am
Ceramics by Job Heykamp
I was really taken aback this morning by the work of Dutch ceramist Job Heykamp and his beautiful rustic style that makes his creations look fresh from a archaeological find. He's obviously influenced massively by the ceramic work of ages gone by and this shows through the worked surface and coloura
Leaf House by Mareines & Patalano Architects
Admittedly this is a rather more elaborate than the architecture we traditionally feature here, in the search for a group of firms I've not come across before I found myself admiring this "Leaf House" which has been built by Brazilian architects Mareines & Patalano. I felt this was worth making an e
Jean Prouvé Architecture, Prefabricated and Dismantable Houses
As you may know already I’ve showcased various bits of imagery over the year from gallery Patrick Seguin, which happens to be one of my favourite “go to” places at the moment. Patrick is actually quite a prominent figure of the 20th century design world who helped promote various famous creati
Fragments of Time by Shelley Williams
The olympics seems to be on the tip of everyone's tongue here in England, especially prior to the Queens celebrations these past few days. With the Olympics in mind I thought we'd focus on one of the artists who has been commissioned to create work for the games. My internet search found me watching
L.A. Cabin Living by Brian W Ferry
I’ve been super impressed with the work of photographer Brian W Ferry as of late, he’s somebody we’ve followed closely in the past and even interviewed before, so it’s always refreshing to return to his portfolio and see how things are developing for him. This particular series that I’m sh
Furniture Fit for the Kingdom
Today I thought I'd showcase this film that I came across yesterday morning, directed by Nathan Clarke it's a short documentary type piece on furniture maker Harrison Higgins. The Virginia woodworker describes his ideology and how he feels about making functional items out of wood, also we are guide
