Omer Arbel for Bocci Short Film
The good folks over at Style Park have kindly put together this delightful short film which summarises the process that glass blower Omer Abel undertakes when creating these beautiful bespoke lights for Canadian Design collective Bocci. Although this is pretty brief it’s packed full of creative in
Kinfolk Volume Two Filmed Preview
For those of you who missed our exclusive post on Kinfolk’s latest issue or for the fans that just adore cooking, today I’ve brought across their latest release which is a filmed preview. I’m pretty fond of their subtle promotion pieces if I’m honest, they always seem to offer something diff
Admiring the Work of Toshiko Takaezu
I thought I'd take an alternative approach to creating some content today, bringing across one creative from the past that I've been researching into recently who happens to be incredibly inspiring. Having worked with clay and ceramics for over six decades Toshiko Takaezu unfortunately passed away i
Hans J. Wegner, Danish Furniture Designer
Well this is what I like to find, a website full of inspiring imagery by one of my favourite furniture designers Hans J. Wegner. Hans was born in 1914 in Tønder, Denmark and was the son of a shoemaker originally starting out as an apprentice cabinetmaker before working as an architect in 1938. At a
Schoolhouse Electric & Supply Co.
A nice film by Schoolhouse Electric & Supply Co, a company who looks to sell practical and aesthetically pleasing products for the home and office space. Founded by Brian Faherty, the idea was spawned after he discovered a collection of antique cast iron moulds that had been out of production for ov
Architecture Photographed by Grant Mudford
This is a prime example of two creative subjects coming together to form a great marriage, as seen here with this series of photography based on architecture by Grant Mudford. Incredible to see such great photography coupled with the admiration for the buildings themselves and how they've been desig
Short Film on Ben Kandel
Many of us the world over hear each day in the news about how the economic downturn is affecting the prospects of our young people, so it's refreshing to hear an alternative story in this short film about Ben Kandel. One of the positives for design is that the financial climate has presented us with
Printmaking with Keegan Meegan
We all like seeing prints being made, it's a real fun creative process and although I've seen this type of project a million times over I'm yet to get bored of seeing these industrious presses in full flow. They are just mesmerising contraptions evolved from the basic design that Johannes Gutenberg
Set of Ceramics by Martin Goerg
We're heading to Germany this morning but don't worry it's only on a virtual level. This time in aid of visiting the works of a ceramicist who's really impressed me recently named Martin Georg, so I've gathered up a handful of my favourite creations and have showcased them all below. The thing that
Takashi Tomii, Woodworker
Some great functional items by Japanese woodworker Takashi Tomii who was kind enough to send me these through email. I’ve had my eye on this designer for quite a while now and I’ve been a subscriber to his blog hoping one day I could collect enough imagery to share his story. Today seems like a
The Art Of Time By Martina Chamrad
Working on the internet in the way that we do from time to time you can reach the point where you get a little frustrated scrolling through reams and reams of uninspiring projects. We like to keep the site pretty niche and we know what we like so in many respects we can’t really complain. It’s j
Concours by Toby Morris
I think when you appreciate well made objects with an individual twist you’re always going to be drawn to articles of the past. Particularly now the preference for many manufacturers is speed and low cost, it’s hard not to admire the chair thats been constructed in days and not minutes for examp
