Documentary on Potter Svend Bayer
Acknowledging a running theme of traditional craft with the daily line up, I thought I'd introduce a documentary I recently viewed which follows the work of English Potter Svend Bayer. Given we have shared lots of ceramics and pottery in the past I felt the need to source a project that would expand
Hedwig Bollhagen Workshops for Ceramics Photographed by Janne Peters
Today I thought I’d pick up some fantastic imagery taken by the ever so impressive German Photographer Janne Peters. Her works are very diverse in subject but she has a crisp and modern aesthetic that’s nice to see in this often cluttered world. I’m particularly fond of her neutral colour pale
Short Film on Traditional Craftsman John Neeman
I think in our generation many of us have never seen a professional blacksmith at work, the way of modern life doesn't dictate the need for hand crafted tools, time has simply moved on. This being said, especially in our own archive this lack of need for this trade has become a want, because seeing
A Mixture of Furniture Works by Jean Prouvé
Last night I went on a bit of a knowledge jaunt and sent myself back in time to find out about previous designers, philosophers and thinkers, something I've found myself doing more and more of over the past year. My library of design books is slowly reaching the realms of uncontrollable, but I can't
Kinfolk Dinner – Brooklyn, New York Short Film
I really love what Kinfolk do and the way they go about things which is why I almost feel obliged to share their work when they create things. I guess I feel by doing so not only am I believing in what they put out there but also everyone that is involved in each project too, because they really see
Sori Yanagi, Kitchen and Tableware
Today I found myself exploring the life and works of one of the most famous product designers in Japan, Sori Yanagi. It was sad to hear when he passed away at the age of 96 late last year, but at the same time I couldn't help but marvel in his achievements and stature. An incredible human being that
Set of Ceramics by Maria Kristofersson
It's hard to grumble at a little Nordic inspiration to start the week off so I've brought across the work of Swedish creative Maria Kristofersson as I really enjoyed browsing over her ceramic collection this weekend. Maria is often noted for her rugged yet quirky creations that hold quite an individ
New Arrival: SIWA Designed by Naoto Fukasawa for ONAO
Anybody else inspired by Naoto Fukasawa? .. hmm silly question we know, which is why we didn’t second chance the opportunity to get his SIWA collection in the shop, because as you will soon see his products are absolutely incredible. Teaming up with Japanese Washi paper maker ONAO, Naoto has produ
Short Film on Violin Maker Sam Zygmuntowicz
We love seeing masters at work here, In terms of inspiration it's just incredible to see the passion of someone who's been doing what they love for year upon year. This would be a fitting description of Brooklyn based Violin Maker Sam Zygmuntowicz who we get to see under the microscope in this fanta
Set of Imagery by YoungDoo Moon
The stunning film photography by Nick Hand and Andrew Paynter in our latest feature with Hiut Denim got me a little hungry for some more, so I tracked down a set of beautifully captured medium format shots by Korean creative YoungDoo Moon earlier today. This particular set was taken after reading th
Collection of Work by Sculptor David Esterly
If I'm honest I struggled to piece together a set of David Esterly's creations in the candid style we prefer, I did however manage it with a little digging around so here we are with some wood carvings which are absolutely incredible. I think what we really need to be sharing here is a short film of
Villa Nyberg by Kjellgren Kaminsky Architecture
I can't quite recall when architecture broke it's way into our content here, but ever since it has felt right to compliment all things considered, like clothing or photography, with buildings that are a equally thought about, both in their values and quality. I think sometimes with design you stumbl
