Admiring the Work of Architect Lina Bo Bardi
My recent post on designer Joaquim Tenreiro got me a little curious to the other great talents Brazil has produced, so today we are visiting the beautiful home of Brazilian born Italian raised Architect Lina Bardi. The home we're admiring today is actually referred to many as the glass house, howeve
Mobiles by Renilde De Peuter
I’ve been swooning for a few weeks over Renilde de Peuter’s mobiles, you may know this creative through her blog called “At Swim Two Birds” which she named after a Flann O’Brien novel. She’s a real talent and is basically a graduate of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, Belgium a
Short Film by Yuki Kokubo
I don't know if anyone else finds this but Friday always seems to be quite a reflective day for me, a chance to look back on the weeks work and reestablish where things are going for the next week ahead. So being Friday I thought I'd bring across a little documentary style film which is quite reflec
The Making of the Series 7 Designed by Arne Jacobsen
This video is extremely old but I was blown away when watching it this morning and it sort of led me onto researching a bit more into Arne Jacobsen and his works, particularly the Syveren (Seven) series chair. This pressure moulded veneer chair seen here is apparently one of the most sold chairs in
House R by Bevk Perovic Architects
I thought we'd move onto something a little larger in scale now, visiting the work of Bevk Perovic Architects and this beautiful home they constructed which has lots of quirky elements that I've not seen used much before. Given it's being highlighted here I think we all know it was always going to h
A Selection of Pottery by Marguerite Wildenhain
I’ve become very much intrigued by the Bauhaus and how it all started, over time this has helped me discover some interesting places on the internet, one of those being a small design and art blogspot that goes by the name of MONDOBLOGO. I found a great article on there which showcased some of the
Furniture by Joaquim Tenreiro
I've always (and I'm showing my age here) recognised Brazil mainly for their sporting achievements, having grown up watching the Rivaldo's and Ronaldinho's of this world with much amazement. It got me thinking this morning that I must research more into the designers that originate from this wonderf
Short Film by Mia Shimabuku
We return to a short film that investigates a little craftsmanship, or perhaps craftswomanship if there’s such a thing, as young filmmaker Mia Shimabuki takes a closer look at the work of glass blower Suzi Perret. American creative Suzi works alongside fellow glass fanatic John Gerletti as they cr
A Selection of Furniture by Bruno Mathsson
I'm positive you'll all agree that we've had some absolutely stunning furniture featured on the blog over the past month, I've had a blast learning about all these different designers and their works. I'm not sure when it will come to an end, but it's really intriguing to find out the history behind
Wright Auction House, Furniture by Børge Mogensen
Yesterday a fine fellow pointed me towards the Wright auction house website, a company that’s based in Chicago, Illinois. They’re known world over for specialising in modern and contemporary design, selling architect designed furniture from individuals such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Frank Gehry, Ch
Set of Imagery from Jake Stangel
American photographer Jake Stangel re-enters into the archive today with a set of photography packed full of rich landscape, soft sunlight and enough trees to start a wildfire. Based in San Francisco, which seems to be one of the worlds hotbeds for photographic talent, Jake has shot work for lots ad
James Allen Walter, The Maverick of Modernism by Domus
Today I've decided to point you towards an article of interest, but I do have a few comments that I want to say myself about this piece written by Domus, the famous architecture and design publication. They recently put together this special feature on their website about industrial designer, writer
