Timber Products by Live Wire Farm
I've come across this small business before and I thought it was about time I added them into the archive, they also have some stunning imagery on their website which was definitely worth a showcase. This week in the office I feel the theme has been more of a natural one with lots of inspiration bei
Series of Ceramics by Mary Kay Botkins
I thought I'd come through with a little ceramic work this afternoon to compliment what we've already curated so far this week. So once again I scoured around the various creative networks to see what I could come up with and I landed upon the page of Mary Kay Botkins, who I have to admit I'm not al
Mixed Architectural Imagery by Artechnic
I always have mixed feelings towards architecture, especially when I put together an article here on the site. It's hard to come across works that really entice me and usually the ones that do have already been written about. Another problem is the 'new modern' trend that seems to be spreading acros
Short Film on Wire Sculptor Rodger Stevens
It feels great to return to an artist, creative or craftsman and offer them a little further coverage, given many of these independents are on quite a personal journey with their work, it’s interesting to see what makes each one tick. I thought today we’d revisit the work of New York based Rodge
A Film on Mingei Artist Minoru Kano
Wow, I came across this fantastic video earlier and I was surprised to see that it had only been watched 200 times in four years. A bit depressing to say the least. I have to admit the quality is not incredible, with most of it being very grainy and low on volume, but the content in the film is very
David Adjaye Speaks on Race & Heritage
I wanted to share this film today as it really gets behind the personality and persona of an established architect, which for me is the most important element of architecture. The people that will use these buildings each day and how they will interact, make connections and hold the designed spaces
Works by Verónica Jaramillo’s Ceramic Workshop
I've been on a serious hunt for some ceramics over the past week or so. I didn't want to settle for something of lesser quality, that's not my style, and it wasn't really on my list to pull a selection from Japan again since I've turned to there a lot lately in search of inspiration. So I took an in
Designs by David Ericsson
Let's head to Sweden now on the content front, there's a lot to admire in this part of the world, particularly when it comes to, yes you guessed it, design. I'm steering away from what you would typically expect me to be sharing today in terms of well established individuals or brands however, and i
Ceramics and Objects at Everyday Needs Store
It's not often that I come across shops or creatives in New Zealand, we've swayed towards Japan in recent months but there are also some fantastic things going on in other parts of the world. Particularly that side near Australia is where I'm seeing lots of creative communities pop-up and exhibit ex
Fray Leon House by 57 Studio Architects
I thought I’d begin the week with a slice of architecture as I’ve not come across too much myself since thursday’s film with the one and only Jen’s Risom. Today I’ve opted for more of a recent build with this contemporary design from Chile, created by architectural firm 57 Studio. I felt w
Short Film on Sheldon Cooney
Part of what we do here is keeping our noses to the ground and unearthing those creative independents that are tucked away in the lesser-known corners of the web. The creation of glass is a process that I've personally become more and more fascinated by over the years, although recently I've been st
Ceramics by James and Tilla Waters
I thought I'd highlight a series of ceramics from a little closer to home today as I've brought across the work of husband and wife team James and Tilla Waters who run their own studio from an isolated farm in Mid Wales. Given we are fascinated by a minimal outlook when it comes to functional ware i
