Admiring the Work of Architect Frank Lloyd Wright
As time goes by working here on the site it's seems that a trend is starting to appear where I'm referencing less and less creatives from the present and more from the past. Barbara Hepworth was perhaps the most notable individual recently given the fact that she passed in 1975, so today I'm going t
Estate in Extremadura by Abaton Architect Firm
Sometimes some of the most innovative designs are hidden away in places that you'd never imagine would harness such wonderful consideration for creating, like this abandoned stables found in the west of Cáceres which has been rejuvenated by Spanish architectural firm Abaton. I've not come across th
Short Film on Karen & Christian Boros
We return to a collective that we’re quite fond of today in Freunde von Freunden and their latest short film with German creative couple Karen and Christian Boros who collect art and house it in their living space. As I explained in today’s earlier post, architecture has played more of a promine
Admiring the work of Lake Flato Architect Studio
I think when you love everyday design like we do, it’s inevitable that you’re going to fall for architecture in a big way. Much like all the other elements we share here on the site, architecture provides a big dose of inspiration for us on a daily basis. Particularly in the morning when I tend
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
Inside the Eames House
After much thought and deliberation I decided to do a small post on the Eames house, also known as Case Study House No. 8 since it was an experiment in American residential architecture sponsored by the Arts & Architecture magazine. They commissioned major architects of the day, such as Charles and
Artist Series by Hillman Curtis
Brooklyn based filmmaker Hillman Curtis recently released this wonderfully put together film which introduces us to the thought process behind the work of architect Daniel Libeskind. I've brought it across because the piece threw up a debate in my own mind about what I think design should be, as I a
Joseph Erlanger’s House by Phillip Kalantzis
This morning I decided to bring across some photography by Phillip Kalantzis, a New York city based photographer, who took these fascinating pictures of professor Erlanger's House in Urbana, Illinois. Erlanger was the head of contemporary Dance Division at the University of Illinois, with the house
Introducing Architect Joseph Dirand With Freunde von Freunden
Berlin based publication Freunde von Freuden bring us the experimental approach to minimal design through the architecture of Joseph Dirand and his team in this short filmed interview. Joseph's style is most notable in his living space seen in this short film where he has combined traditional with K
Mark Borthwick’s Townhouse in Brooklyn, New York
Pacha Design are made up of a partnership, Glenn Rushbrooke and Samantha Robb, who both make contemporary furniture thats simplistic in its approach and could be seen as wabi sabi in a lot of ways, beauty in imperfection. They have a great little journal that gets regular updates on furniture that t
Alvar Aalto: In the Master’s Home
You may have seen me mention Alvar Aalto before, whether it be here or on my personal website, and over the weekend Nowness created this fantastic feature showcasing photography of the interior and exterior of the Alvar Aalto house in Helsinki, Finland. Alvar was a Finnish architect and designer, an
The 10 Best Product Designs in Pictures by Margaret Howell
I'm not a big fan of top ten lists but this one that Margaret Howell partook in had to be an absolute winner. Her vision really represents and runs in parallel with my love for clothing and design, it's such a mix and amalgamation of lots of lifestyle elements. You really can't knock her for all the
