Neutra Boomerang Chair by VS America
There’s a certain list of designers that I’m always on the lookout for, usually news or information regarding their work, so this chair by Richard Neutra was definitely worthy of a showcase.
Handcrafted Ceramic Work by Lubna Chowdhary
Sometimes I get all the credit when finding content for the blog, most of the time they’re all my own findings, but on certain occasions I get help from collaborators and those that email in submissions. Not just from creatives and designers that want me to showcase their own work, sometimes even
Objects and Furniture Designed by Tomás Alonso
It’s not the first time that I’ve come across the work of Tomás Alonso, mainly noting his fantastic furniture in the past, but I’ve also been admiring the smaller objects that he’s produced over the years.
Metalwork by Japanese Maker Yumi Nakamura
I’ve been hunting through a selection of different makers that specialise in metalwork for the shop, mainly vessels like bowls and plates since we already stock some brilliant cutlery by Rieko Fujimoto. These goods are generally hard to come by, usually you have a lot of cutlery being produced but
Aesthetics of Everyday Life, Voicer Magazine
It’s not often you come across fantastic imagery like this. Although I enjoy viewing the final objects made by different craftsmen, especially when it falls in to my own hands, I really like to see how they’re made and what processes they go through to get the desired form. It’s also fascinati
Furniture Design by Michael Robbins
Michael handcrafts each piece of furniture in an old barn in the Hudson Valley of New York. Not surprisingly he's heavily inspired by Hans J Wegner, which probably accounts for the traditional looking aesthetic.
Film Photography by I.E.
Although Flickr has had its fair share of criticism over the years, I’m impressed by their tunnel vision in regard to the photographic industry. Much like Vimeo, who’ve been able to capture filmmakers all over the world, Flickr has done the same with photographers. Often something you’ll find
Japanese Glassware by Shotoku Glass Co.
Apologies to all of you who have been looking for good video content. I have come across a few short films on my travels but they’ve not really ticked all the right boxes. Some were in a foreign language, which doesn’t really help in terms of inspiration, well unless the imagery is absolutely su
Seven Möbelstücke by Herbert Schultes Design
I've been admiring some of these fantastic forms by designer Herbert Schultes, it just goes to show that going back to basics really does work. It also seems that I've been drawn to work that has been a collaboration between craftsman and designer, maybe it's my brain hinting that I should do someth
Pottery by Yuichiro and Tomoko Suzuki
With our newest feature that released over the weekend with potter Adam Silverman, it seemed a bit rude to post any other pottery as we could be seen to specialise in one specific area. As you know, that’s not the case. But when I homed in on the good work of Japanese duo Yuichiro and Tomo Suzuki,
Feature with American Potter and Sculptor Adam Silverman
Today I’m proud to present to you all our newest feature, an interview with Los Angeles potter and sculptor Adam Silverman. As the years roll on and the site develops I always appreciate the creatives that I get to interview and the conversations I have with them. Just like you, I’m a fan myself
New Maker in the Shop, Japanese Woodworker Hiroyuki Sugawara
This blog gives me a place to showcase all my inspirations, but it also allows me to hunt for people that we could represent in the shop here in the UK. All of a sudden we seem to have become a destination for Japanese craft and design, possibly thanks to my fascination with the culture and also the
