Ceramics by Lilith Rockett
I’m not sure how we’ve not posted up Lilith Rockett’s work before, I’ve come across many ceramicists over the years, albeit each one having a slightly different flavour, but I’ve never seen such a complete collection as Lilith’s. She works primarily in porcelain which seems to be a massi
Pescher House by Richard Neutra
I've just noticed that this week the blog has become a bit of a graveyard, with Max Lamb and Aaron Rose the only souls amongst our content still living. I'd just like to confirm we don't have any prejudice against those breathing, it's just a coincidence that this has transpired. Saying this I'm not
An Interview with Toshiko Takaezu by D.B.Long
Now I know this film is slightly old but I thought it would be a great piece for all of you watch today, I haven’t seen it before and the views seem surprisingly low so I’m guessing others haven’t either. It’s a short interview produced by D.B.Long with ceramic artist Toshiko Takaezu, someon
Short film on Aaron Rose and The Watts Towers
I was really inspired this morning by the story of Simon Rodia and his desire to create the monumental sculpture that is the Watt Towers in Los Angles with such a humble and workman like manner. I have to admit his name is one I haven't crossed paths with on the internet before today, however The Av
Carl Auböck, In the Workshop
Hopefully this post will get you very very inspired, the photography featured here is pretty astonishing to say the least and I'm very lucky to be showcasing it to you all today. As you probably know from previous posts I'm a big fan of Carl Auböck and his creations, it's great to look back at thes
Collection of work from Jean Arp
I seem to be caught in somewhat of a nostalgic phase at the moment, focusing on creatives from the past that I admire, opposed to those that are still working away at their craft/design. I guess it's easier to appreciate somebody's creativity and flare when their life's work is over and you can sit
Crockery by Max Lamb
I’ve been meaning to post about Max Lamb for many months now, If I recall correctly I think I wrote a little piece on him a year ago which was about his collaboration with Dunhill on a chair. It was an interesting project but for some reason or another I’ve never got around to posting up more of
Tableware by Magnus Stephensen
I'm not really a specialist on silverware as such, I have a bit of a push pull relationship with objects of shine and that element of lure. Although I'm quite the functionalist at heart I've been drawn to objects with that in-between for a fair while now and this tableware by Magnus Stephensen for G
Brian W Ferry Photographs Joseph Shuldiner’s Home & Studio
We shared quite the multidisciplinary creative yesterday in Herbert Bayer and by coincidence Brian W Ferry presents us with another one today in this beautifully taken photography set of artist, designer, art director and author Joseph Shudiner's home and studio in California. One thing that gives u
Atmosphere & Philosophy, When Objects Work
Today I thought you might appreciate this brilliant selection of imagery from the When Objects Work website. This company was founded by Beatrice de Lafontaine in 2001 after a career in the bespoke interior decoration business. The Belgian company produces and distributes exclusive objects designed
Collection of work from Herbert Bayer
It's not everyday that I put together a more historical type post, however once I find one I often get bitten by the bug and a few follow in quick succession. So after sharing the wooden masterpieces of Alexandre Noll yesterday I went home and began reading about the Austrian multi-discipline design
Design Auction, Phillips de Pury
It's really great when you come across a selection of objects that have been designed by some great individuals, not only that but they've been taken professionally by a proper photographer in a nice setting. You'll be surprised how frustrating it can be when the images are too small or of bad quali
