Collection of works from Alexandre Noll
We've both been quite taken with sculpture recently given the arrival of a new Alexander Calder book into the office bookshelf, the man was an absolute genius and a big inspiration to lots of you I'm sure. Casually browsing over his work last night I began to long to see other esteemed sculptors and
Inside the Billy Lloyd Ceramics Studio
Some of you may have seen that we're going to be changing quite a few things here on the site over the next coming weeks. It's fun seeing the development of the site that I started when I was a youngster, even to this day I still can't believe the changes that have been made and it's satisfying to k
Stools, Sculpture and Objects by Alma Allen
Alma's been a massive inspiration for both of us here recently, somehow he's not featured on the site but today I've finally got round to putting together some nice imagery of his work and hopefully this small article will sum up what's behind his pieces and how he creates these fantastic sculptures
BR House by Marcio Kogan
One thing that's always a big frustration for us is actually being able to find the relevant media to document a project, idea or product that we admire. This might sound simple but often it can be a real uphill battle. So today I've dug my way through two photographers portfolios to document the wo
Handmade Ceramics at Inventory Stockroom by Shino Takeda
I'm back again today with another post that follows along the same line as my last, this time I thought I'd put some imagery together thanks to our friends at Inventory who've recently released their latest set of items. It's unusual for me to cover two similar things so closely to one another, but
Tortoise Life, A Look Inside
Every so often I come across shops that resonate with me and seem to be on the same wavelength as us who work here, usually these stores sell totally abstract functional products or items that I've never seen before. It's a pleasure to view objects like these seen here and it peaks my interest in de
Handmade Tools by John Neeman
I've been making a few flying visits around the personal pages of creatives we've highlighted in the past today, with craftsman John Neeman by far impressing me the most. A few of you may remember we followed his filmed series in the past "a birth of a tool" which documented one of his remarkable ax
Ornaments by Nobuho Miya, Kamasada Ironware
I’m not usually one to bring across a small selection of items, I prefer putting together a post that’s more substantial with captions and all the relevant information. Today I guess is an exception, these ornaments by Kamasada Ironware really grabbed by attention from Japan and I couldn’t let
Photography by Jonathan Levitt
I've been leaning towards rural retreats in the architecture that I've been sharing with you all recently, so it felt natural to bring this rural element into the fold again today through photographer Jonathan Levitt. I've been really taken with Jonathan's portfolio and his eye for an image that dep
Visual Acoustics, The Modernism of Julius Shulman
So this is quite a tough post to write really, I'm not sure where to start. I've been on and off writing about furniture and such over the past few weeks but this particular one is more about a film and someones work, it was all inspired thanks to an interview I came across last night. The specific
Vicki Grima, 87 Spoons Project
I've got the biggest admiration for the creatives that take one field or form and apply influences they've found elsewhere to create something truly individual and unique, which in turn throws conventional thinking on it's head. Australian artist and ceramist Vicki Grima snuggly fits into this brack
Case Inlet Residence by MW Works Architects
60 years after it's creation it seems Philip Johnson's glass house is still having a huge influence on the design of contemporary architecture, or so I thought upon viewing this beautiful riverside retreat built by MW Architects. Nestled into a forested slope along the eastern edge of the Case Inlet
