Exploring the Life and Works of Charlotte Perriand
Console by Charlotte Perriand, 1958. Metal and Laminated Wood Top. Today I thought I’d bring across some of my favourite pieces designed by french creative Charlotte Perriand, this also gives me a chance to dig up some information on her life and how she became one of the most important furniture
Selection of Work from Akio Kamiya Architect & Associates
Browsing over the portfolio of the Akio Kamiya studio earlier today I was really blown away by the way they’ve transformed a traditional Japanese aesthetic to incorporate modern elements. These projects I’ve brought across today really optimise why I get so inspired by architecture, the combinat
Starling Chair by Cameron Foggo
This is my second post on an item of furniture this week, hopefully we won’t go five days straight with a chair everyday, although if we have seating options like this I won’t be complaining and hopefully you won’t either. The chair that I’ve picked out today is titled the Starling Chair and
Vintage Colour Photo Series by Hilda Grahnat
I thought I'd throw a bit of a curve ball into the mix as we bring across a series of photography from Malmö based photographer Hilda Grahnat who has undertaken quite an observational project. Combining a few of her favourite vintage items in sets of colour Hilda provides us with ample classic ever
Short Film on Potblack Ceramics
We rejoin the craft theme running through this week as we visit the creations of Ceramicist Travis Jeffery's and his Melbourne based studio through the medium of film. Providing a handcrafted element to the top restaurants in the city, Travis is known for his sleek minimal designs and eye for detail
Collection of Works from Regis Brodie
I thought I'd stick with craft again after sharing wood turner Jonathan Leech with you all last time around. Today I was impressed with the multifaceted nature of creative Regis Brodie's work, so I've brought across a selection as a nod of appreciation to the Pittsburgh based artist, potter, sculpto
Chapelle Notre Dame du Haut by Le Corbusier
Exterior shots of the Chapelle Notre Dame du Haut taken by Paul Koslowski for Foundation Le Corbusier in 1997. Through my own research on Tadao Ando it’s been interesting to see the link between his concrete structures and Le Corbusier’s buildings and architecture. It all made sense when I saw t
sm05 by Cees Braakman
Today I thought I'd bring across some nice imagery of a chair and also some history and background to go alongside it. This specific piece, named sm05, was designed by Dutch designer Cees Braakman in 1958 and was one of the first chairs to be entirely fabricated from steel wire. It's a classic desig
Collection of Works by Woodturner Jonathan Leech
I thought we’d stay in England for this post as I’ve just come across a wood turner based in Cumbria who’s work I think lots of you will appreciate. Jonathan Leech has set himself a solid foundation as an artistic woodturner hosting many of his creations in local galleries, forming a healthy r
Van Diemen’s Land Short Film by Rapha
We've got a lot of respect for Rapha and I'd like to share them a lot more often than we actually do, I just hate the tug of war that their popularity brings. They deserve their success and it's great to see the new projects that surface frequently, they are always fantastically filmed and are the p
Architecture and Details by Tadao Ando
I’ve been meaning to write a short article on the brilliant Tadao Ando for a little while now, he’s an amazing architect with a classic eye for form and structure. I’m not sure how I actually came across his works in the first place but I’ve had quite a fascination with materials and the con
The InBetween House by Koji Tsutsui Architects
Built as a mountain retreat from the hustle of Tokyo this “InBetween” home designed by Koji Tsutsui architects sits flawlessly into it’s surrounding topography and neighbouring culture. Constructed using locally sourced and prepared larch wood Koji Tsutsui opted to incorporate traditional Japa
