Feature with Chicago Based Woodworker Jason Lewis
It’s been a long time coming, a new interview has finally blessed our feature section! This time featuring Chicago based furniture maker and designer Jason Lewis. Jason and I have been meaning to put something together for a while, but both of our schedules clashed, so it took us some time going b
Wood Fired Pottery by Hannah Lawrence
Yesterday at the pottery studio I was determined to make a teapot, so I had the studio owner throw the main body for me on the wheel to show the general process and how one can be formed. Like anything new, my first set of attempts were extremely poor, and I couldn't quite grasp what I was actually
Furniture, Sculpture and Mobiles by Faye Toogood
My exploration in to furniture design hasn't just stopped at this site, I've purchased many books and have also been jotting down a mixture of ideas on paper that could come in handy in the future. Although I feel like I have some good ideas, also some amazing inspiration in the back of my brain, I
Architectonic Sculpture by Brian Corr
Sometimes I spend weekend mornings, when it's quiet around here, looking for creative films and other design content that might be inspiring, not necessarily for the blog but just to keep my mind refreshed and in check. For some reason this week I stumbled in to three or four different glass artists
Interior, Details and Spaces by Ian Shaw Architects
After an unusual post yesterday, an object inspired by a real world use that had been made in to a smaller form, I thought I'd look for an architect that's a little closer to home. Some people might say that I get caught up in Japanese culture and often showcase creatives, designers, and makers from
Tetra by Yohei Kuwano and Koji Takahashi
Today I thought I'd pick out a slightly different set of objects to talk about, it seems like a nice switch away from what we usually talk about, architecture, craft, furniture etc. Saying that, these do sort of come under the architectural 'umbrella' in some ways. I love the dimensions of these obj
Porcelain Tableware and Wall Installations by Basma Osama
Recently, I have been considering the world of ceramics in terms of inspiration and as a personal pursuit. Being a purist, the beauty of materials in their raw, or near-raw state, is highly appealing. The endless amount of clay bodies, each with their individual characteristics, naturally lend thems
Glassware by Masahiro Ishikawa
I thought I'd update the blog with some new craft work that I found on my travels around the web last week, it seems to have become absent from the blog lately. But I have to say I feel like we've been doing a good job on the shop. I mentioned before about us getting some lacquerware in the store fr
Architecture by Shinobu Ichihara
There's something so appealing about Japanese architecture, the open spaces and sense of purity is unique to anywhere else. To be honest, you don't see it all that often in other parts of the world, but when you do it really stands out because of the surrounding houses or those that are close by. I
Haley Chair by Alexander Rehn
Yesterday I received my new Aalto stool, this time I went for the classic Stool 60 which has three legs and comes in the standard wood (I find this more authentic and original looking). I'm hoping to invest in something more substantial at a later date, possibly an office chair for work, which means
Bathrooms by Agape Srl.
While browsing one of my favorite picture blogs, I came across the image below on the left. The purity and warmth is what stopped my scrolling fingers. All of the images featured on this page come from Agape Srl., an Italian company headquartered in Roncoferraro, Italy (a part of the Mantua province
CALDER | PROUVÉ at Galerie Patrick Seguin
The good folks at Patrick Seguin recently released some imagery from their latest exhibition that started on Saturday titled 'CALDER | PROUVÉ', which will run until November 2nd, 2013. Sculptors haven't really featured here that often, but when I do pick one out they always bring something unique a
