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
Tyndall Table, Bench Rack and Steel Wood Table by Thom Fougere
We’ve posted photography by Canadian creative Thom Fougere before but thanks to our friends at Mjolk/Kitka I had the inspiration to return back to his personal website and found these nicely designed furniture pieces. In particular I picked out the Tyndall Table, Bench Rack and the Steel Wood Tabl
The Art of Making by Heath Ceramics
I always seem to be landing on the Heath Ceramics webpage so why it's taken me this long to bring across an article from them is a little beyond me. There's no time like the present to resurrect this however which is why I've raided their "Art of Making" section as a little nod to the work that they
Short Film on Chifuyu Enomoto
I felt a little guilty for missing out on the second instalment of the Made in Brooklyn series this morning, so I've been on the hunt for a film this evening as a means to make amends. Given we don't like to regurgitate content here I felt it was best to wait and see what else was around, so with th
The Barcelona Pavilion by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
On the hunt this morning for content something just popped into my mind, the thought of a Ludwig Mies van der Rohe post really attracted me for some reason. Maybe because we haven't really explored his works before here or maybe because I've been reading up on this famous designer a fair bit. So off
Dustin Cohen Photographs Watchmaker David Sokosh
I had planned to bring across the latest development in Dustin Cohen’s Made in Brooklyn film series, but since this has already broke elsewhere I thought we’d focus in on a little of his photography instead. Many of you may remember the first episode which followed violin maker Sam Zygmuntowicz,
A View of Architectural Pottery, U.S.A
I thought we'd take a visit to the collection of Architectural Pottery today who've been handcrafting these vessels in America since the 1950's. I was browsing across their webpage this morning and enjoyed their selection so much I just couldn't help but share my findings. They seem to lean towards
Architecture and Interiors by Takuro Yamamoto
Over the weekend I stumbled across the website of architecture firm Takuro Yamamoto who design beautiful buildings and also wonderful concepts. They focus on creating buildings that will stand the test of time, not wanting to be pinned down to a specific era or time-state. What I thought was interes
Introducing Olli Salumeria
Keith Ehrlich, the man behind the Made by Hand film series, provides us all with further inspiring content whilst introducing a fourth generation Salumi Maker in the process. Working under another of his aliases “The Bureau of Common Goods“, Keith investigates all things Olli Salumeria which was
Designed Objects by Carl Auböck
After searching through the Leslie Williamson archives on her blog I came across this fantastic photo from the Handcrafted Modern book of the stuff on Walter Gropius’ desk. As I was routing around for more information it struck me that a fair few of the objects on the desk, mainly the stone and br
Short Film on Gustavo Perez
It’s almost two weeks to the day now that I brought across the collection of Mexican ceramic artist Gustavo Perez so it was quite a welcome coincidence to see him pop up again today in this delightful short film. The last piece I posted on Gustavo was centred around the exhibition currently taking
