Isamu Noguchi, A Man at Work
After a long week it’s great to finish on such an icon as Isamu Noguchi. He really is an amazing talent and I was lucky enough to talk to The Noguchi Museum who gave me access to some imagery of Noguchi at work. This felt like an interesting and inspiring subject to talk about since Isamu is a man
Selection of Work from AABE Architects
Yesterday we visited an architect from the past in the short film of Russel Wright's home, so today I thought we'd highlight the work of someone a little more present with a collection of work from Belgium based collective AABE Architects. Coming across their portfolio yesterday I was taken back by
Short Film on Russel Wright’s Manitoga
I thought we’d turn our attention to another mid-century master today, so I’ve sourced out this great short film which introduces Russel Wright’s Manitoga home and offers up further context to the American designers life. This project has been put together by women’s retailer Anthropologie,
Selection of work from Fairfax & Sammons Architecture
I'll be the first to admit that these builds are a lot grander than we would traditionally share, but I just got blown away by their attention to detail and use of natural light, so I'm making an exception to the rule today. All of the below have either been built completely from scratch or restored
Selection of Work by Henning Larsen Architects
I’ve been sniffing around the webpages of the major architectural awards today as I wanted to turn to a real leader in the field for our next post on this topic. My internet travels landed me in Copenhagen with the inspiring body of work from Henning Larsen Architects who were founded back in 1959
The Hill Country Jacal by Lake Flato Architects
We couldn't go a whole week without including a slice of architectural inspiration in the format, it just wouldn't feel right. So I've raided the archives of Texas based firm Lake Flato once again presenting this beautiful hill country home which is based upon a Mexican design concept called the Jac
Short Film on the Aluminium Chair by Charles & Ray Eames
Anyone fond of the Eames pair? Yes us too, which is why I was surprised to come across this fantastic film that documents the making of their iconic Aluminium Chair sitting with so few views over on Vitra's Vimeo page. The duos design of this chair was put together in 1958 and looking back this was
Selection of Work from Kengo Kuma & Associates
Browsing through their webpage today I was finding it a real struggle to pin down just one project that I wanted to share from Kengo Kuma & Associates architects. Their portfolio was too good not to be shared though, so as a solution I've pieced together a selection of work they've put together over
Farnsworth House by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
After my long stint of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe posts I've decided to write a short article on the Farnsworth House which caught my eye as I was reading a book about him last night. As the book ends it's quite disappointing to think my research might come to a halt here, hopefully I'll purchase seve
Exploring the Life and Works of Charlotte Perriand
Console by Charlotte Perriand, 1958. Metal and Laminated Wood Top. Today I thought I’d bring across some of my favourite pieces designed by french creative Charlotte Perriand, this also gives me a chance to dig up some information on her life and how she became one of the most important furniture
Selection of Work from Akio Kamiya Architect & Associates
Browsing over the portfolio of the Akio Kamiya studio earlier today I was really blown away by the way they’ve transformed a traditional Japanese aesthetic to incorporate modern elements. These projects I’ve brought across today really optimise why I get so inspired by architecture, the combinat
