Ceramic Works by Renaud Suave of Atelier des Cents-Ans
We're taking a small break from pottery at our local workshop due to it being closed for a month, so I've been hunting around for some inspiration to tide me over. It seems like a good idea to keep a little workbook of ideas that could come in handy whilst throwing on the wheel. Although I have to a
Series of Modernist Sculptures
It's not often I put together this type of post featuring a selection of creatives in one go, but I thought I'd break my own mould today after searching around a number of fantastic online archives. Sharing the video of modernist architect Josep Lluis yesterday relit my own interest in the era and I
Documentary on Architect Josep Lluis Sert
I felt it was about time architecture joined our creative content this week, so I went on the hunt earlier this morning to find either a recent build or a short film that would provoke a little food for thought on the subject. I'd not intentionally headed out with the modernist era in mind but once
Green Tea Inspiration at Hibiki-an
It's great finding new inspiration in all different fields, the blog is the perfect place for us to get our thoughts out there and put our own twist on certain subjects, ones that don't get much light on other websites. I guess in this life everything is interconnected and our daily lives, or things
Short Film on Bryan Nash Gill
I’d like to turn our collective attention now to an American sculptor who has altered his medium of creativity and found heart in the art of printmaking, not through illustrations of his own but that of the natural world with an ongoing series of woodcuts from a great diversity of tree species. Th
Finishing with Potter Koichi Ohara
Currently I'm experiencing withdrawal symptoms from the potters wheel, as the studio we attend locally is closed while the owner takes a well deserved holiday. Although I can't actually get involved myself for a few weeks I've been enjoying watching others undertake the process earlier today, so hop
Hand Blown Glassware by Sempli Design
How about we add some superb glass tumblers and vessels into the mix today. I'm a big admirer of functional items that serve a humble purpose in day to day life, often the ones we take for granted and that slip in to the back of our mind without a second thought. These tumblers by Sempli remind me o
Mjolk visit the Nakashima Studio
I’m sure if you take inspiration from us on a regular basis you’re well aware of the work of John and Juli Baker who run the beautiful design store Mjolk in Toronto, as well as the Kitka blog following Scandinavian and Japanese creation. We’ve been admiring their work for a number of years now
Furniture from Carl Hansen & Son
I’m always fascinated how our content tends to develop trends unintentionally, one post on a particular topic often leads to succession in this area without us even realising. So after yesterday’s delve into the portfolio of Italian furniture designer Marco Guazzini I’ve been revisiting and en
Pottery by Yoko Ozawa Photographed by Olga Bennett
I was awoken with a surprise email the other morning, when Yoko Ozawa sent over a fantastic array of photographs taken by the ever so talented Olga Bennett. Olga’s a bit of a regular here on the blog and has been heavily featured in the past, to say we’re admirers is an understatement. Olga’s
Wood in Progress by Ernst Gamperl
Ernst Gamperl is a bit of a legend in the craft circles, I'm surprised we haven't talked about him before because his wooden forms are spectacular to say the least. It seems like a good time to visit his works and showcase some exciting shapes that might get you all inspired, it certainly had me int
Furniture Design by Marco Guazzini
Mark brought across some fantastic architecture yesterday from the good folks at Fujiwaramuro studio, I was especially impressed with their interior design and the general layout they opted for within the respective homes featured. There was a real emphasis put on generating a simplistic and natural
