Pure White Vessels by Takashi Sogo
Right, this is it. I promise today will be the final time this week that I showcase my favourite Japanese ceramic artists, to be fair it's quite easy to pick them out because there are so many good ones in that area of the world. As my final post I decided to pull out a specific series from one of m
Lennon’s Poster by Peter Dean
I like creative people because they go that extra mile, even if it makes them look a little obsessed and, dare I say it, crazy. It doesn't matter, it's being created and that's it, which is exactly the kind of attitude that pushes the boundaries of what we conceive possible. I love this idea that th
Ceramics by Fumihiro Toda
Coming across great ceramics and pottery has been quite an easy task for me lately, it doesn't take long to find an artist I like whilst browsing a Japanese shop or website, this obviously gets me researching on the specific individual. Unfortunately when I arrive at their portfolio page they're usu
Short Film on Sculptor Dimpy Menon
We are lucky that each day we get the opportunity to come across so many diverse and exciting creatives, everyone has their own story to tell and a fresh perspective to share with the world. I'd like to introduce you all to a sculptor today who's progressive persona really struck a chord with me, he
Why people Love and Hate Le Corbusier
Those that live their lives by strict ideals will always divide the crowds, to many Le Corbusier is the greatest architect that ever lived and to others his arrogance oversaw his talent. What cannot be denied or plainly ignored however is his contribution to global architecture and his legacy that c
Place of Hope, The Kasama Community and the Great Ordeal
When me and Daniel decide to showcase videos on the blog we're often wary of the length, as we know many people can get distracted when watching long pieces. Today I'm going to throw this rule out of the window as I point you towards a piece titled 'Place of Hope, The Kasama Community and the Great
Adam Currie Photographs the Barbican
One of the things I love about what we do here is the connections we make, and the diversity that this presents. Some days we strive to preserve the legacy that an individual has left behind, others feature creatives in their prime, and today we highlight the handiwork of someone just starting out a
Plywood Furniture in the Marcel Breuer Archive
Mr Breuer isn’t exactly a stranger to our archive, these modernist designers always seem to crop up again and again with their classic timeless designs, ones that I’m extremely envious of. Take for example these plywood furniture pieces by Marcel sourced from his ever growing digital archive, it
Alpine Hut by Ofis Arhitekti
One thing that always puzzles me about architecture, or perhaps architects more specifically, is the way in which many firms present their projects online. You would have thought being design led in their thought process we would see an abundance of imagery and in this case short film that is aimed
MUJI Meets IDEE, A Set of Case Studies
MUJI happens to be one of those interesting companies who offer a selection of products that sit quite close to our general aesthetic, but maybe miss out on the craft/independent element. They rarely highlight the original makers, possibly because a lot of the ideas are duplicated from the handiwork
Series of Ceramics by Lisa Hammond
Once the week has started I'm always eager for Tuesday evening to come around, as this is when we get the opportunity to get a little creative ourselves and experiment in the studio of a local potter. What better way to prepare for this than a return visit to Lisa Hammond, an English potter who has
Wooden Utensils and Vessels by Hiroyuki Sugawara
I came across these stunning utensils and vessels over the weekend thanks to maker Hiroyuki Sugawara from Japan. All of his woodworkings come out of his studio titled Greenlight in Chichibu, Saitama Prefecture, where he works on crafting these pieces by hand. Hiroyuki originally came from a backgrou
