Mies, Aalto and Le Corbusier Interiors Photographed by Mary Gaudin
New Zealand born photographer Mary Gaudin has been impressing me lately with a selection of photography over on her portfolio website, particularly a section of it which documents a variety of architects homes and builds. Three of my favourites feature here, Alvar Aalto, his home and and office in H
Furniture Designer: Taylor Donsker
Believe me when I say we've seen a lot of craftsmen, creatives, designers and makers over the years and heard many, many stories. Some of these are regularly repeated and you very quickly develop a nose for who is regurgitating the same message and those with genuine drive and passion to create some
Ceramics by Jill Shaddock
It’s amazing to see such style and simplicity in makers situated on our own turf, unfortunately it’s not something that we come across here on a regular basis, but these works made by Manchester based Jill Shaddock are very eye pleasing indeed. I originally came across her works on the Snug webs
Short Film on Brooklyn Glass
I'm afraid there's somewhat of an emphasis on the "short" element of this film today but it's a project that resonated with me somewhat earlier so I felt it was worthwhile showcasing despite the fact. I'd like it to be a little longer and I'm sure after watching you will too, but it is what it is, a
Shop Imagery by H Works in Japan
My latest explorations revolve around a trio of books that I purchased delving into the art of the tea ceremony in Japan and the concept of life over there in general. One particular book that has gripped me over the past few days was written by Junichiro Tanizaki titled ‘in praise of shadows’,
Short Film on Harrison McIntosh
Film has been our main weapon of choice over the past few days so I'm going to continue on this note and introduce you all to another captivating character named Harrison McIntosh. Perhaps that's a little ignorant of me, the fact is many of you may of come across this individuals work previously as
A Selection of Furniture by NAUT Design
With our recent release in the shop of the book nest by TRUCK Furniture, which has been ever so popular, I’ve been thinking to myself that we should buy a few items from the TRUCK shop, particular the stools and some chairs for our office. Originally I thought this would be a bit out of my reach c
Short Film on Tobias Petri by Freunde von Freunden
As times passed and the Freunde von Freunden collective has developed it's been a big inspiration to take in all the multi-talented individuals that they've interviewed the world over. When the project first began they didn't have the opportunity to branch out of Germany all too often, so when you s
Irving Harper: “Paper is a versatile medium” by Herman Miller
Wow, I came across this amazing video earlier today and I've been been itching to write a piece on it. Interestingly the subject is designer Irving Harper who's someone that I was searching up about a few months back, specifically looking for imagery of his paper sculptures (what a coincidence). Her
Fire, Clay, Flour by Edible Boston
I believe that to fully appreciate craft and design you have to get involved yourself, and create something that wasn't around before. Although I'd like to I can't force new individuals to turn their hand to wood, or clay, or any material for that matter, but what I can trust in is short films like
Blueware Vases by Glithero
I'm doing the unthinkable today by returning to the same creative who's work we showcased yesterday, but before we get inundated with complaints I better mention he's a filmmaker highlighting some really inspiring makers and shakers. Yesterday Petr Krejci introduced us all to the Czech collective th
Mobiles by Xavier Veilhan
I've discovered that it's actually posible for me to create an interesting array of mobiles myself, in fact I finished the first one this week for my office and I think it looks fantastic. Great to see when the light shines in from the front window and the various levels create shadows of all differ
