Short Film on Taransky Bamboo Rods
Adventure sports enthusiast and filmmaker Jack McCowan presents us with a candid introduction to an Australian based company setup by Nick Taransky who constructs his own beautiful bamboo fishing rods.

Further Imagery from Jennifer Korff
With Thanksgiving celebrations going on over in the states things seem a little thin on the ground at the moment, so I was glad to be able to delve into our archive and check back with some creative talent that we've talked about in the past. Back in July Mark introduced us to the delightful working
Dieter Rams at SFMOMA
This isn't the first time that we've written about Dieter Rams and his work and it probably won't be the last either. I came across this short video piece directed by Nathan Cozzolino and edited/scored by Andrew Birchett for Dwell magazine. Dwell is becoming a place that I check on a regular basis f
Handcrafted Furniture By Denis Milovanov

The Men of Distinction Series, Episode One
We showcased The Motleys introduction to the Men of Distinction series twelve days ago now, so it made sense for us to highlight the first episode in the series for all of us to view today. For those that didn't catch the introduction, the series basically embodies the spirt of the entrepreneur fol
Mjolk Canada, Product Shots
It's not the first time that I've mentioned Mjolk here on the website and their beautiful little shop in Toronto, Canada. Since I've never really had a chance to showcase any of their design orientated products I thought it would be a perfect chance for me to get hold of some imagery and showcase it
Wooden Laptop Case by Rainer Spehl
Berlin based furniture and interior designer Rainer Spehl has turned his talents to creating some wonderful wooden laptop cases, so it's great to get the opportunity to see these being constructed in this short film I've brought across today. Also based in Berlin is fashion brand Ucon who have teame

If you're a fan of home cooked rustic food and you've not come across the photographic work of Katie Quinn Davies yet then you're in for a real treat. The Dublin native spent many years globe trotting, experiencing Europe, the Americas and Australia working as an art director for some of most innova
