Atrium House by BFS Design
I thought I'd come through with a little architecture for you all today as a means to balance up what we've got lined up already on the platform from the past few days. I'm sure many of you don't even give this a second thought but we are often weighing up what to bring in next and whether we are to
The Successor of Kakiemon: The Story of the Kakiemon Porcelain Dynasty
I'm not usually the one bringing over videos or short films on to the blog, Daniel, my partner in crime, usually has that base covered. He's got a great eye for sniffing out the best in the film department, whether that be on Vimeo or through other parts of the web. But today I think I might have pi
Reclaimed Wooden Furniture by Hugo Franca
It's not everyday that we're lucky enough to come across works like we have here today from Brazilian artist and craftsman Hugo Franca, but boy does it make your morning when projects of this nature do come along. Hugo is responsible for the bespoke handmade furniture that you see before you, all of
Craft at Japanese Store Jikonka
As I'm sure a lot of you know from previous posts that I'm quite the avid reader, I always purchase more books than I can handle but each one goes in to my bookcase or office with the intention of being read. One thing I don't buy usually is books that are fictional, most of the ones I purchase are
Collection of Photography by Luisa Brimble
As winter takes over with the cold nights and the shortened days I often turn my attention to photography of the nature we see here today from Luisa Brimble, which I would describe as really hearty and homely. Another photographer that springs to mind in this respect is Charlotte Bland who has broug
Mushimegane Books, 2012 Collection of Works
Mushimegane Books is a special little company owned and run by Misa Kumabuchi, specifically out of her studio in Nishinomiya, Japan. The eagle-eyed of you may have noticed the label as the newest addition to our online shop, someone we’re extremely proud to represent over here in Europe. Despite t
Large Wooden Pebbles by Joel Sayre
Some fantastic wooden pebbles that I came across earlier made by Joel Sayre. They reminded me of two of my favourite woodworkers, one named Alma Allen and the other being Ed Moulthrop, the so called ‘father of modern wood turning’. Possibly Alma because of the shape and lovely finish, and maybe
Saltscapes by Motoi Yamamoto
We've come across many weird and wonderful projects over the years, searching for content each and every day and I hasten to add we've seen our fair share of disturbing, lots of remarkable, and the occasional mind boggling project on our internet travels. Coming across a completely new idea or proje
Shiko Pottery Studio, Australia
Today I've selected some great photography from a studio's website based in Brunswick, Australia named Shiko. To be quite honest we've not really featured many artists from Australia here in the past, even though there seems to be some fantastic work going on over there, so this post today should gi
Short Film on Alvar Aalto Exhibition
I think the greatest compliment or recognition as a creative individual you can receive for your life's work is that it outlives you and continues to inspire others after you pass. One designer that refuses to go away in this respect is Alvar Aalto, who Jackson's are currently highlighting in a smal
Tadao Ando Photographed by Donata Wenders
I've not talked about a highly acclaimed designer in a while so I thought I'd buck the trend today and bring you something slightly different. As you can imagine I regularly go through phases of inspiration, just like everyone else, so when I came across this brilliant photography matched with a sup
Wire Works by Masao Seki
I love wire sculptures and wire work in general, it's quite a fascinating subject in my opinion as it's out of the general scope of what artists usually produce. People like Alexander Calder have originated in this from and have then expanded out into other avenues such as mobile work, or larger scu
