Leaf House by Mareines & Patalano Architects
Admittedly this is a rather more elaborate than the architecture we traditionally feature here, in the search for a group of firms I've not come across before I found myself admiring this "Leaf House" which has been built by Brazilian architects Mareines & Patalano. I felt this was worth making an e
Jean Prouvé Architecture, Prefabricated and Dismantable Houses
As you may know already I’ve showcased various bits of imagery over the year from gallery Patrick Seguin, which happens to be one of my favourite “go to” places at the moment. Patrick is actually quite a prominent figure of the 20th century design world who helped promote various famous creati
Fragments of Time by Shelley Williams
The olympics seems to be on the tip of everyone's tongue here in England, especially prior to the Queens celebrations these past few days. With the Olympics in mind I thought we'd focus on one of the artists who has been commissioned to create work for the games. My internet search found me watching
L.A. Cabin Living by Brian W Ferry
I’ve been super impressed with the work of photographer Brian W Ferry as of late, he’s somebody we’ve followed closely in the past and even interviewed before, so it’s always refreshing to return to his portfolio and see how things are developing for him. This particular series that I’m sh
Furniture Fit for the Kingdom

Manos, Pottery Studio by Oscar Liedgren
This post is a case of one project leading to another as we return to talented Swedish filmmaker Oscar Liegren and his latest short film which features Potter Karin Eriksson in her studio. Many of you enjoyed Oscar’s previous piece we shared on Kiki, the Japanese design store in Stockholm, so I de
Selection of Furniture from Superfolk
I'm not sure how popular Makers and Brothers has become, but personally I've really enjoyed seeing their vision unfold as they bring the world Irish made objects that are simple, beautiful and sometimes very quirky. If you've not made a visit to their web shop yet I'd really recommend making the cli
Hiroshima House from Suppose Design Office
The Japanese designers never cease to amaze me when it comes to architecture because of the sheer lengths they will go in order to connect their homes to the surrounding environment. This innovative house from the quirkily named "Suppose" design office attempts to bring the outside inside, implement
Stoneware and Ceramic Design Works by Ole Jensen
Some great minimalist stoneware and ceramic objects by Danish designer Ole Jensen. Usually I like the quirky independent pottery but Normann Copenhagen have produced some great objects over the years, for example check out Aaron Probyn’s cutlery, it’s an amazing set which makes me really envious
The Maestro Stool by The Andes House
No fuss, no clutter, just an underlying simplicity that you can take a hand in thanks to design studio The Andes House who present us with the Maestro stool. Their creative team, which is based in Chile, is made up of seven individuals who develop work across the mediums of art, design and architec
Martin Visser, Exhibition of 1960’s Dutch Modernist Furniture at Rocket Gallery
Rocket Gallery in London recently opened an exhibition dedicated to the one and only Martin Visser, the dutch designer who from the late 1950's to early 1970's was Head of Design at ‘t Spectrum. He actually acquired the company during the 1960's which I guess shows just how dedicated he was to the
Selection of goods from Analog Life Store
After enjoying the talents of origami artist Robert J Lang yesterday I thought I'd head towards Japan where the craft originates from in search of further inspiration today. I didn't come across anymore origami but I did stop by at the Analog life online shop where they had lots of wooden vessels up
