Set of Imagery from Renilde Depeuter
I felt I was well overdue a return to a set of photography so I've pieced together this selection from Renilde Depeuter who many of you may remember for her stunning mobiles we covered on the blog back in February. Initially I was just browsing around enjoying Renilde's photostream over on Flickr an
Selection of Work from Kengo Kuma & Associates
Browsing through their webpage today I was finding it a real struggle to pin down just one project that I wanted to share from Kengo Kuma & Associates architects. Their portfolio was too good not to be shared though, so as a solution I've pieced together a selection of work they've put together over
Ceramic Works by Kirstie Van Noort
Previously Daniel put together a nice concise post on Eindhoven based designer Kirstie Van Noort in the latter part of 2011. Today I decided to explore her works again after my amazement at her ceramic bowls, cups and other items, particularly the selection that she’s produced over the last few mo
Short Film on Harpsichord Maker
I thought we'd turn our attention to some new creatives today as we're introduced to the work of filmmaker Morgan Inglis and Craig Tomlinson who look to showcase a Harpsichord Maker from West Vancouver in this short film found below. I'm always fascinated by the art of putting together an instrument
Zig Zag Chair Designed by Gerrit Thomas Rietveld
My fascination with chairs and furniture continues as we explore the Zig Zag chair designed by famous Dutch furniture designer and architect Gerrit Thomas Rietveld. Gerrit is well known for being one of the principle members of the ‘De Stijl’ movement, breaking his design down to basic cubist el
Farnsworth House by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
After my long stint of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe posts I've decided to write a short article on the Farnsworth House which caught my eye as I was reading a book about him last night. As the book ends it's quite disappointing to think my research might come to a halt here, hopefully I'll purchase seve
Design Within Reach Presents: Jens Risom
It's always satisfying to be able to provide more context on the designers that we admire, which is why it's such a pleasure to return to a Design Within Reach short film that involves one of the best mid-century designers in our opinion, Jens Risom. Still actively involved in design at the grand ol

Short Film on “The Chair” by PP Mobler
I've been sitting on this project for a while now so I have apologise somewhat, as I'm sure many of you are eager to see PP Mobler putting together Hans J Wegner's design of "The Chair". I've been debating with myself whether the film quality was on a par with everything else we've previously share
Labour and Wait, New Online Shop
Lately I've been an early bird, waking up at the silly hours of the morning seems like the only way for me to get work done efficiently and in a timely manner. It also extends my day and I'd have it no other way, sometimes I like to call it "the calm before the storm". So in the early hours of this
Kenji Fujita for Freeman Lederman Ceramic Coffee Pot/Pitcher
I’m not really one for sharing a single product or object but I thought today I’d break that mould and focus in on a rare modernist coffee pitcher that caught my eye over on Pintrest. It’s been designed by Japanese ceramist Kenji Fujita for American Studio Freeman Lederman back in the 50?s and
