Herriott Grace Documentary Trailer
I always go through a short phase where I can't seem to find any inspiring films but usually some other type of content will satisfy my needs. Saying that, I came across this today on my hunt around the web and it instantly hit me that we've covered this fantastic duo before. Daniel previously wrote
Collection of Goods from Restoration Hardware
Neither of us spend much time watching television, however when we do take a little down time we can be caught watching documentaries on vintage antiques and restorations. So today I thought I'd bring a little of this influence into the format and my internet digging landed me upon the webpage of Am
Ceramics by Job Heykamp
I was really taken aback this morning by the work of Dutch ceramist Job Heykamp and his beautiful rustic style that makes his creations look fresh from a archaeological find. He's obviously influenced massively by the ceramic work of ages gone by and this shows through the worked surface and coloura
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
Today I thought I'd showcase this film that I came across yesterday morning, directed by Nathan Clarke it's a short documentary type piece on furniture maker Harrison Higgins. The Virginia woodworker describes his ideology and how he feels about making functional items out of wood, also we are guide
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
