Jean Girel Ceramics
Today I thought I'd bring across a set of works by French ceramic artist Jean Girel, he's a real talent and definitely deserves to be showcased. This specific set of imagery was picked up from his recent exhibition at Maison Gerard, who always do a fantastic job at photographing the objects that the
Short Film on Photographer: Mikael Kennedy
This is a bit of a short project by all accounts but I really resonated with the individual the film was based on, so hopefully a few of you do also, being fellow creative minds and all. The film basically speaks of Mikael Kennedy's realisation of becoming a professional photographer in New York cit
Villa Frenay by 70f Architects
We head to Holland now, Lelystad to be specific through the work of 70F architects and this minimalist Villa that their team built two years back. I can't say I've come across their work previously but I really enjoyed this project all the same, browsing over their portfolio that spans twelve years
A&B Award Objects by Fraser Reid and Nick Ross
I love this quirky set of "Award Objects" created by Fraser Reid and Nick Ross, I found these last night and I thought they were quite unusual but simplistic and minimal at the same time. Actually I've never been a massive fan of metal, particularly shiny metals that stick out and bring too much att
Photography by Morgan Satterfield
Morgan Satterfield for those that don't know is the marvellous mind behind the Brick House blog which we've enjoyed seen develop over the years, she certainly is one talented and dedicated lady in my eyes. Our internet travels over to her page are never disappointing and are always packed full of de
Ceramics and Sculpture by Ian McDonald
It's not the first time I've come across Ian McDonald's works, he's always getting involved in interesting exhibitions, one last year titled "One Eight Hundred" was so close to our own name that it's been stuck in my head for a long time now. So today when I revisited his website it was a nice surpr
Ficalho House by John Cassian Santos
I don't know if anyone has noticed within our format but I've slowly been trying to learn more about architects who operate in warmer climates. Previously I brought across work from Brazil and today we visit Portugal through this house by architect John Cassian Santos. The minimalistic home seen abo
Modified Benches by Jeppe Hein
Art and design cross swords in this entertaining project by Danish artist Jepp Hein which appeals to the playful nature of the city dweller through the considered eye of the confessed surrealist. If you've not come across her work before Jepp is widely known for her tongue in cheek installations in
Sarjaton by Iittala
I was pleased this afternoon when I came across the video that can be seen below produced by Iittala, originally a glass factory in Finland but they now make all sorts of objects to "enrich people's everyday lives". You may know them for one particular collaboration that took place with Alvar Aalto,
Parker Fitzgerald for Kinfolk
Regular followers of our blog will know we have a lot of admiration for photographer Parker Fitzgerald and fine dining magazine Kinfolk, given the amount of times we've covered both of these entities here in the past. Recently Kinfolk got together for one of their evening meals and invited Parker to
Ceramics by Karin Michelsen
It's pretty inevitable now that our internet digging will often land us in one of the Scandinavian countries given the considered eye for craft and design in this part of the world, similar to that of Japan. So it doesn't really surprise me that we return here today through the work of Danish cerami
Franco Albini Catalogue by Nilufar
Over the weekend I was pretty lucky to stumble across this amazing imagery that features Franco Albini’s works, some from the past and others that are more recent. I’ve actually discussed Mr Albini before when I pointed out his beautiful desk produced in 1958 by the one and only Knoll. This spec
