Furniture at Monokraft
Some delicious looking furniture I stumbled across at the start of the week by Monokraft, a Japanese company based in Tokyo. They've got a fantastic website that showcases their work beautifully, so I thought I'd bring a selection of my favourites across for all of you to admire. As I've said in pre
Marion Berrin photographs Le Corbusier’s La Radieuse
Today I've been around the houses in search for content, as my first preference is always to try and find a short film as I feel that these best convey a project, especially if they involve some kind of interview with the creative minds behind each. A handful of topics however, like architecture for
Plant Imagery by Qusamura
Plant pictures and imagery featuring greenery puts me in quite a trance, lately I've been excited by the mixture of vessels combined with living things such as a cactus or a bonsai. I actually own a bonsai myself and it takes center stage on a windowsill in my house, nurturing it is a very rewarding
Film Series on Yukinori Jinnohara
It's fair to say we have quite a healthy obsession with Japan and their craftsmanship/design. I think it's easy to admire the fact that in many areas they've been driven by the concept of preserving their tradition and heritage of making. Unfortunately here in the West we've lost touch with many dis
New in the Shop, Wood Worker Mitsuru Maeda
Today we've got a new entrant in the store who goes by the name of Mitsuru Maeda. Born in Tokyo, the Japanese craftsman has been manipulating wood for over 15 years. After working at two different workshops during his career he took the jump and started his own workshop in Toyko, where he still make
Quietus: a documentary
We find ourselves coming across pottery and ceramics each and every day now, it’s intertwined in to both our work and free time. As a few of you may have noticed in our sidebar and on the front of the shop we are in fact beginning to sell a few pieces here and there. What we don’t encounter too
Views of the Jean Prouvé Exhibition at Jousse Entreprise
Our good friends at WO AND WÉ, a site that I’ve admired for quite a while now, put me onto this Jean Prouvé exhibiton that started last month at Jousse Entreprise, a gallery in Paris that showcases a range of well-known designers like Le Corbusier, Serge Mouille, and Alexandre Noll. Most of whic
Iconic Images Explores Namibia
Admittedly this is somewhat of a curve ball, but I like to think we pride ourselves on keeping a diverse mix of content to keep you all inspired. So with this in mind we're leaning quite a lot towards photography with this film following the company of Denis Glennon, who runs a series of safari tour
Furniture at the Modern Design Exhibition, Wright Auction House
Wright Auction House is a place I regularly check, just as an interested party in design really. As a creative myself I'm always intrigued to see designs from the past that have inspired others, also it gives me inspiration where I can find out about these people that came before me and their backgr
Garance Dore Photographs Russel Wright’s Home
After sharing the work of the late great sculptor Constantin Brancusi yesterday I felt compelled to search out another master if you will that is no longer with us. Given we've featured a good number of names that the history books won't let us forget, I found myself searching over a few that we'd v
Introduction to Sculptor Michael Coffey by Bespoke Global
This was a real treat of a find today, and I was quite lucky to stumble across it in all honesty. I was taking my usual travels to come across something unique/different that I could showcase and I had remembered I was going to research sculptor Michael Coffey but never got around to it after seeing
Leslie Williamson Photographs Constantin Brancusi’s Atelier
I better insert a spoiler alert before we begin today as I've once again raided the blog of photographer Leslie Williamson as she puts together the second edition of her handcrafted modern book. Now I really hope I'm not revealing too much that is to reach the final publication, I'm assuming these a
