Murata Yoshihiko, Japanese Lacquer Artist
Wow. Incredible work by Japanese Artist Murata Yoshihiko who works with lacquer, this isn't a process that I'm really familiar with but I decided to root around a bit to find some information on this art. From what I found out it seems like Murata uses a maple wood to create these fantastic sculptur
Ann Linnemann, Ceramic Designer, Artist and Potter
If you're anything like me every so often you'll come across a designer or artist who seems to create work that's near enough perfect. It doesn't happen all that often but when it does every photo you view just seems to hit home, and when I bring it across here to showcase it's impossible to pick u
Collection of work from Robin & Lucienne Day
From a personal perspective I can’t think of anything more heartwarming than coming across the entire life’s work of a creative couple. British designers Robin and Lucienne Day are a prime example of two different styles intertwining and complimenting one another, for those that haven’t been i
Furniture and Detail Shots by Pastoe
Pastoe are quite unique in my opinion, in fact I’ve written about them before when I highlighted the sm05 chair by Cees Braakman, but I’ve not really gone into much depth regarding their history and how this played a part in the furniture world. It all began in 1913 when businessman Frits Loeb d
Phil Elson, Hand Thrown Porcelain Tableware
Ceramics has been high up on our list of inspiring subjects lately, although I'm partial to all aspects of the field I seem to be pulled towards porcelain as a material for some reason or another. I think it's because I like the transparency and the simplicity, it's quite clean and precise which pro
Ferdinand Kramer, Furniture Collection by e15
Today we’re going to take a trip back in time to look at the life and works of designer Ferdinand Kramer, also we get to see how these designs have now been beautifully reproduced by German furniture manufacturer e15. Interestingly enough e15 was named after the postal code of its first workshop i
Ceramics by Virginie Besengez
I thought we'd head to France today in search of a little creative inspiration, visiting the work of Virginie Besengez, a ceramic artist based in the idyllic setting that is Wambrechies, which can be found on the map just north of Lille. As an artist Virginie has been known to dabble in both porcela
Collection of work by Tapio Wirkkala
After visiting the studio of Mari Andrews in yesterday's post I’ve kept my nose to the ground in the search for another super creative individual and thankfully I stumbled upon the website of Finish designer Tapio Wirkkala. Now Tapio is unfortunately no longer gracing this earth since his passing
Richard Baker, Portraits of Modernist Furniture
I was blown away this week by Richard Baker's fantastic paintings of modernist furniture, it was a no brainer to showcase them here for all to see. I think this is a classic example of where two disciplines that I'm really fond of come to meet and work really well together, on one hand it's superb t
Mari Andrews Photographed by In The Make
We might of created a silly amount of content of our own over the years but we're ultimately big consumers and admirers of others work too. So this morning I'd like to highlight to you all one of my favourite spots to get inspired by called 'In the Make' which showcases various creatives in their st
Ceramic Objects by Tara Shackell
Today I'm going to highlight some incredible ceramic work by Tara Shackwell, a ceramic artist living and working in Melbourne. I've come across her work several times before and I thought it was about time I showcased it on the site, it's one of those things where it seems like fate. Tara mainly mak
Imagery from Alison Berger Glassworks
I thought I'd bring a little craft into the fold today as we've both been pursuing our own creative projects recently and I was hugely inspired by the work of Alison Berger and the skill she has developed in making handblown glass. Based in Los Angles, Alison's professional background was initially
