Kay Bojesen, Craft Designer
Kay Bojesen, a bit of a legend to say the least. He's been on my radar for a little while now and I've been studying this Danish designer to see what I could find on him and his work. It's always great to find out new information and Kay is actually tied to the design scene in more than one way. Bor
Hidden Valley Home by Marmol Radziner
Given our mid-century tastes in architecture recently built projects don't tend to crop up every day that impress us, I guess we are rather selective. However, today I've been admiring the work of Marmol Radziner again and this prefabricated build they've put together in the Moab desert of Utah whic
In Order of Appearance Exhibition by Jackson
Have you been looking for some furniture inspiration? I have to admit we’ve been slacking on the furniture front, we barely came across anything last week and I’ve been on the lookout myself. Regular checking spots include Artek, Fritz Hansen and Carl Hansen, obviously there are multiple shops a
Freunde von Freunden interview Ole Martin Hansen
With all eyes on London as the Olympic games progress it looks like Freunde von Freunden thought it was the perfect moment to showcase some creative talent from the English capital, so today we visit the work of a young Norwegian who runs his own smokehouse in Stoke Newington. Staying true to four g
Yumiko iihoshi Porcelain
Even though we don't necessarily work on weekends here I'll still keep my eyes open for inspiration, beautifully designed objects and information that's new and exciting in the design world. Sometimes it's just luck of the draw to what you'll find but generally I discover something that's really int
Projects by Marianne Brandt
Who doesn't love the Bauhaus? I'm certainly an admirer and in the next week I'll be looking to venture out towards the Barbican before the 'Bauhaus: Art as Life' exhibition finishes in London, it would be a great shame to miss it since it looks fantastic. I'm one of these guys who's got an obsessive
Ceramics by Lilith Rockett
I’m not sure how we’ve not posted up Lilith Rockett’s work before, I’ve come across many ceramicists over the years, albeit each one having a slightly different flavour, but I’ve never seen such a complete collection as Lilith’s. She works primarily in porcelain which seems to be a massi
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
An Interview with Toshiko Takaezu by D.B.Long
Now I know this film is slightly old but I thought it would be a great piece for all of you watch today, I haven’t seen it before and the views seem surprisingly low so I’m guessing others haven’t either. It’s a short interview produced by D.B.Long with ceramic artist Toshiko Takaezu, someon
Short film on Aaron Rose and The Watts Towers
I was really inspired this morning by the story of Simon Rodia and his desire to create the monumental sculpture that is the Watt Towers in Los Angles with such a humble and workman like manner. I have to admit his name is one I haven't crossed paths with on the internet before today, however The Av
Carl Auböck, In the Workshop
Hopefully this post will get you very very inspired, the photography featured here is pretty astonishing to say the least and I'm very lucky to be showcasing it to you all today. As you probably know from previous posts I'm a big fan of Carl Auböck and his creations, it's great to look back at thes
Collection of work from Jean Arp
I seem to be caught in somewhat of a nostalgic phase at the moment, focusing on creatives from the past that I admire, opposed to those that are still working away at their craft/design. I guess it's easier to appreciate somebody's creativity and flare when their life's work is over and you can sit
