Porcelain by Taizo Kuroda
My mind is always brought to debate when I see Japanese ceramics and pottery as I’m often baffled by their ability to craft something that is equally clean and pure as it is rich in substance and character. Perhaps it’s the Japanese’s inherent connection to perfecting each process which brings
Photo Preview of Rizzoli’s Rooftop Gardens Book
We are quickly amounting a great number of books here in the office, in fact we often joke at the need to open our doors up as a library. So today I thought I'd share something as a nod towards New York based publisher Rizzoli who are responsible for many books on our shelves. Leslie Williamson's ha
Knoll Space
This weekend I’ve been taking some serious inspiration from Knoll and a section on their website titled “Space”. It’s basically an interactive tour of inspirational residences which feature classic and new designs from Knoll, showcasing ideas on how to make the most out of your space. Knoll
The Shirt Photographed by Koto Bolofo for Margaret Howell
Routing around this morning I came across a series that I viewed earlier in the month taken by photographer Koto Bolofo for Margaret Howell. At the time I really enjoyed the selection but I didn’t really get a chance to see the full series as such, so when I floated across to the Japanese version
Set of Imagery from Felix Odell
Felix Odell is a photographer who's talents we've celebrated before in the past, so last weekend as I was looking for a little inspiration I took a revisit to his webpage to see what he had been up to. As always Felix didn't disappoint and I've brought across a series of imagery he put together for

A look inside the house of Finn Juhl
It seems only last week that we were sharing something Finn Juhl related with you all, although looking back into the archive it was a month yesterday. It’s amazing how time flies on the internet and I mention this as today marks a month of the online shop being open. I hadn’t planned to share t
Ceramics and Objects by Sfera
A blog worth visiting is that of Iain Claridge, a small independent design studio based in Bristol, England. They’re regularly showcasing some inspiring imagery and great design related works, so today I decided to put together something that I spotted on their blog a few days back, the works of S
North Bay House by Prentiss Architects
We couldn't reach wednesday without a little architecture to satisfy our creative cravings, so I've sourced a recent build by Seattle based studio Prentiss Architects which will hopefully cater for everyone's needs. This home is actually quite deceptive as it's a lot larger than it looks here, I don
Poul Kjærholm Furniture Collection Imagery
Over the weekend I was roaming around different furniture design websites and I was lucky enough to stumble across this wonderful imagery of Poul Kjærholm's furniture via Fritz Hansen. Although I've heard of Poul and have seen his works over the years I've not really looked into his history as a de
