Series of Sculptures by Pamela Sunday
At the turn of the year I thought I’d come through with a selection of sculptures to compliment our recent interview with American artist Patrick Dougherty. I’ve strayed away from wood however and put together a series of imagery from another American creative, the lady in question being Pamela
Short Film Featuring Lacquer Artist Isamu Odashima
After the article that I put together late last week featuring artists and sculptures Alma Allen, Ani Kasten & Adam Silverman, I thought I would showcase another video produced by the same Japanese company but on a slightly different wavelength. This particular video has no English speaking, or Engl
Damascus Steel Knife Making by John Neeman
I thought I'd bring another familiar face back into the fold today as we revisit the work of traditional craftsman John Needman and his "Birth of a Tool" film series, which documents one of his tools being lovingly put together by hand. Previously I'd brought across the first instalment of the proje
Gulliver House by Be-Fun Architects
Considering the Christmas break it would seem this week is finishing before it's begun, since today has been our first full day back in the office. Nevertheless it's always good to clear the decks and come through with a fresh line up so I've been on the hunt for a little architecture to compliment
Short Film Introducing Beam & Anchor
As we pass through a period of good will and spirit, I wanted to showcase a short film I came across this morning that shares the story of a company that's based around this very same community feel. Once again we are heading over to the creative hub that is Portland, Oregan as Matt Pierce introduce
Function Dysfunction Exhibition with Alma Allen, Ani Kasten & Adam Silverman
The function vs non-function debate is one that I regularly battle with, as a designer my urge to make things structural and quite conformative is a very natural one, I like the idea of ordering disorder. But one thing I've been trying to do lately is to step outside this mindset and be more free an
Pottery Works by Kazunori Ohnaka
As we take a little break here on the blog for Christmas I often find myself routing around online for inspiration, especially when the weather is bad and I'm stuck inside. Today happens to be one of those days, but I was lucky enough to come across a fantastic collection of works by Japanese potter
Architecture and Interior Design by Robert Mills
The great thing about this job is that you get to discover, you're always learning fresh approaches, concepts, and ideals from all over the world. The blog is like a melting pot for us and I get a great deal of satisfaction from looking at how individuals on the other side of the world view everyday
Ovale Cutlery Collection by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec
Mass production has its place on this website and society in general, as a designer myself I take a lot of inspiration from these industrial products that now shape our technological world. Naturally as we’ve progressed as humans we have looked to manufacturers to meet our consumer needs. One DVD
Chocolate with Hazelnuts from Homegrown Swedes
December is a great time of year for fellow foodies isn't it?! The cold weather draws us all around the table to consume a selection of heartwarming food. It's not often that this topic reaches our blog, aside from the odd kinfolk inclusion here and there, but since Christmas is nearing I thought I'
Porcelain Creations by Nathalie Derouet
A set of astonishing creations by French artist Nathalie Dérouet. I'm not one to bring across many artistic works, as I'm quite a functional individual and don't admire a gallery setting for a number of reasons, but often I find myself taking inspiration from forms in this category (even if it be f
Wood Turned Vessels by Andy DiPietro
I've not highlighted a woodturner for a little while, and it's a technique I'm really fascinated by, so I've been on the hunt this morning to see what I can find in this area. Pennsylvania seems to be a real playground for individuals working in the medium of wood, so it was of little surprise to me
