A Selection of Furniture by NAUT Design
With our recent release in the shop of the book nest by TRUCK Furniture, which has been ever so popular, I’ve been thinking to myself that we should buy a few items from the TRUCK shop, particular the stools and some chairs for our office. Originally I thought this would be a bit out of my reach c
Short Film on Tobias Petri by Freunde von Freunden
As times passed and the Freunde von Freunden collective has developed it's been a big inspiration to take in all the multi-talented individuals that they've interviewed the world over. When the project first began they didn't have the opportunity to branch out of Germany all too often, so when you s
Irving Harper: “Paper is a versatile medium” by Herman Miller
Wow, I came across this amazing video earlier today and I've been been itching to write a piece on it. Interestingly the subject is designer Irving Harper who's someone that I was searching up about a few months back, specifically looking for imagery of his paper sculptures (what a coincidence). Her
Fire, Clay, Flour by Edible Boston
I believe that to fully appreciate craft and design you have to get involved yourself, and create something that wasn't around before. Although I'd like to I can't force new individuals to turn their hand to wood, or clay, or any material for that matter, but what I can trust in is short films like
Blueware Vases by Glithero
I'm doing the unthinkable today by returning to the same creative who's work we showcased yesterday, but before we get inundated with complaints I better mention he's a filmmaker highlighting some really inspiring makers and shakers. Yesterday Petr Krejci introduced us all to the Czech collective th
Mobiles by Xavier Veilhan
I've discovered that it's actually posible for me to create an interesting array of mobiles myself, in fact I finished the first one this week for my office and I think it looks fantastic. Great to see when the light shines in from the front window and the various levels create shadows of all differ
Short Film on Vyrobeno lesem Collective
When you sit and consider for a moment how many objects, foods and materials around us are synthetic it makes me feel a little uneasy, I don't agree that price of something is where its real value lies. As time passes I feel myself moving more and more towards items with organic origins, I like to b
Lacquerware Stones by Noboru Akagi Akira
My interest in lacquerware has hit quite a high, investigating the different methods is highly interesting as it's something that's totally new to me. Us folk in Europe haven't really experienced this sort of craft before, it's not something that's readily available and easy to find. Although I've t
Short Film on Woodturner Robin Wood
It's not everyday that we are lucky enough to come across a film documenting a maker perfecting their craft, but today I'm excited to highlight the work of woodturner and artisan Robin Wood who is based in Peak District, England. Robin is in fact quite a specialist individual, according to his word
Ceramics by Naotsugu Yoshida
Looking back over the past few weeks we've been really spoilt in terms of creative talent, it brings me great joy uncovering all these individuals and hopefully I'll be shining a bit of light on them in terms of exposure. Today we're going to explore the work of Naotsugu Yoshida, a potter who lives
Glass Sculptures by Bert Frijns
So last week was pretty hectic here, we were running between London and the office for Design Week, but it was great to step outside the bubble and get inspiration in other creative fields. One particular place where we picked up a few ideas was at the Victoria and Albert Museum, although not packed
Documentary on Potter Lisa Hammond
Before you begin this fine week with us I think you better put the kettle on and get comfortable as Goldmark have put together another of their awe inspiring documentaries following the work of a potter in the lead up to their latest exhibition. Today the creative we get introduced to is another Eng
