Hans J. Wegner Short Films by BlackBird for Carl Hansen & Son
Next week I think I’ll get myself down to The Midcentury Show taking place at Lords in London. It wil be my first time but I’m looking forward to seeing some nice furniture and other goods up-close, preferably the classics that have aged well and have stayed modern over the years. To me it’s a
‘Tableware to Enhance Your Meals’ by Koishiwara Pottery
When it comes to pottery I like the look of simplistic vessels that are pure in form, when it's obvious that they've gone through a process of elimination, reducing any unnecessary elements. With me this has to come through in all aspects of craft and design, often the best designs, whether that be
The Shape that Moves by Iittala
I realised earlier that I've had a little hiatus from any films or videos on the blog, which is a shame really as one of my favourite things about the internet is short films made by fellow creatives, you can always find inspiration that you'd of never seen otherwise. Unfortunately, pictures don't q
Wooden Furniture and Furnishings by Nikari
Nikari aren't a company that I've really come across before, which is quite embarrassing considering they were founded in 1967 and have been producing quality furniture for many years. It's particular distressing because the furniture is up there with some of the best I've seen to date, and I had a
Sculptural Forms by Belinda Winkler
It's been a year since I started to explore ceramics and pottery in greater detail, not necessarily researching it, that started a long long time ago, but actual hands on commitment to the craft. So I feel like I have a small amount of physical knowledge, and I am now able to make forms on the whee
WB Furniture Series by Werner Blaser
It takes some special furniture to get me inspired, I've seen so many different pieces over my lifetime that it's got to the point where it's hard to spot something new out there. Usually they have to be handmade and crafted, or have a quality backstory, ie be offering something unique and different
Interior Spaces by Kouichi Kimura Architects
I’m often stumped when it comes to architectural websites, usually the photography’s not quite there in terms of size or quality, which means I can’t showcase it on the blog (my standards are pretty high). Last week I decided to start a Pinterest of our own, follow us here if you’re on Pinte
Metal Netted Objects by Kanaami-Tsuji
When searching for new and interesting craftsman, I use my knowledge of the internet and some translation tools to find unique creatives from abroad, most notably Japan. I'm drawn to their style for mainly two reasons, tradition and authenticity. I also like the fact that objects, and design in gene
Metsa Spring Summer 2013 Collection
It’s been a long time since I’ve mentioned any clothing here on the site, but I feel like this is a unique collection that’s very much in tune with our own ethos. Metsa isn’t a new project by any means, we put together an interview with owner Markus Uran back in 2011 that’s definitely wort
Architecture by Alberto Campo Baeza
Today I found some much needed architecture inspiration, it's been a little while and I've been that way inclined for some time. In fact, as I'm not a trained architect myself I often learn things through general research, films, and other informative material on the subject. My bookshelf is stacked
The Objects Collection by Kaikado
How I've not showcased Kaikado before I don't know, considering they've been a company that I've admired for a long while now. Actually, I've seen other websites run articles on them recently so I didn't feel like pulling across the same old imagery would be that exciting, as it would be just duplic
Furniture & Design Works by Atelier Steffen Kehrle
After a craft orientated week it seemed suitable to highlight work more rooted in the usual design process, and Atelier Steffen Kehrle has been on my list of 'likes' for a while now. Although I say 'usual', their work is far from it, with one of my favourite parts of their studio website being that
