Shaping the Future – CGI Interiors & Architecture by Six N. Five
Creatives are not really discussing the impact that technology is having on our profession. We tend to think of ourselves as artists who work in the “physical realm”, when in fact we are becoming more and more reliant on technology to stay up to date with our craft. Digital has taken ove
The Power of Art – Works of Light by German Artist Regine Schumann
I never really experienced the power of light in art until I stumbled in to the work of American artist James Turrell. Online visually his sculpture is impressive, in person it’s moving to the point that it makes you reconsider your viewpoint on art and even life itself. Although Turrell tends
Approachable Design – Cliff May Restoration by Venn Studio
California has this weird kind of pull with me that I really never expected. Back in 2016 I spent many weeks on a “design retreat” of sorts, visiting every Modernist piece of architecture I could find in Los Angeles and the surrounding suburbs. The Eames house, Stahl House, properties bu
New at OEN – A Look Inside the Mothertool Workshop in Japan
Today we showcase new photos captured inside the Mothertool Workshop in Japan who specialise in making the Tempo mobile series that has become a hit in our shop. It’s always nice to see inside these studios and understand the skill and dedication that goes in to crafting each piece. Mothertool
Laps of Time – Ceramic Vessels by Korean Artist Bae Sejin
How stunning are these ceramic vessels by Korean artist Bae Sejin! Just wow. The textured blocky exterior is so unique. Delving deeper in to Sejin’s work left me mesmerised by the different types of inspiration he has as an artist and how this led him to his current series consisting of blocks

We just wanted to share a quick update to our range of framed prints by talented British designer Jon Llewelyn who founded his project Formworks Studio in 2016. I especially like this new range of work that has more of a grungy appeal with abstract shapes, scribbled lines and textured surfaces. Thes
True Harmony – Cangshan Villa Photographed by Jonathan Leijonhufvud
You can obviously approach architecture in many different ways. I often think those people who are attracted to the engineering side of things are fascinated by the structure and how the construction comes together. Not knocking this way of thinking, but I feel contemporary architecture has put so m
A Deeper Connection – Bronze Sculptural Objects by Keller Made
For a while I’ve considered ways in which we can incorporate creativity in to our lives. Using the objects we surround ourselves with to inspire us to take action in our own lives. Sometimes we need those talented individuals to bring it all together for us, so I was pleased to stumble in to t
New at OEN Shop – Ceramic Hanging Mobiles by Miki Furusho
Japanese ceramic artist Miki Furusho has mixed her talent as a potter with her eye for good design in this new hanging mobile/chime series. Furusho is known for her use of a special clay dug in the Izu Peninsula in Japan. This clay has a particular earthy feel that really does sing ‘wabi sabi’ a
Offering New Potential – Suspended Wire Sculpture by Studio Note
Our relationship with architecture is often seen as purely functional. People forget that there’s important psychological aspects to architecture that play a part in cultivating the way we live and experience life itself. What can be more important than that? The cocoon-like nature of a home o
Hours of Light – Paintings by British Artist Ian McKeever
One of the fantastic things about art is the many styles present thanks our cultural differences throughout the world. An intriguing thing to think about is not just the differences but also the common themes that are present for all humans. A summary of the human condition that’s transcendent
