Mjolk visit the Nakashima Studio
I’m sure if you take inspiration from us on a regular basis you’re well aware of the work of John and Juli Baker who run the beautiful design store Mjolk in Toronto, as well as the Kitka blog following Scandinavian and Japanese creation. We’ve been admiring their work for a number of years now
Furniture from Carl Hansen & Son
I’m always fascinated how our content tends to develop trends unintentionally, one post on a particular topic often leads to succession in this area without us even realising. So after yesterday’s delve into the portfolio of Italian furniture designer Marco Guazzini I’ve been revisiting and en
Wood in Progress by Ernst Gamperl
Ernst Gamperl is a bit of a legend in the craft circles, I'm surprised we haven't talked about him before because his wooden forms are spectacular to say the least. It seems like a good time to visit his works and showcase some exciting shapes that might get you all inspired, it certainly had me int
Furniture Design by Marco Guazzini
Mark brought across some fantastic architecture yesterday from the good folks at Fujiwaramuro studio, I was especially impressed with their interior design and the general layout they opted for within the respective homes featured.

Assorted Imagery from Fujiwaramuro Architects
I thought I’d lighten up the mood after a busy holiday period, bringing with me a concise selection of imagery from Fujiwaramuro architects who’re based out of Osaka. My little jibe with Japan continues as I’ve been coming across a variety of inspiration from that part of the world, the consi
Series of Sculptures by Pamela Sunday
At the turn of the year I thought I’d come through with a selection of sculptures to compliment our recent interview with American artist Patrick Dougherty. I’ve strayed away from wood however and put together a series of imagery from another American creative, the lady in question being Pamela
Damascus Steel Knife Making by John Neeman
I thought I'd bring another familiar face back into the fold today as we revisit the work of traditional craftsman John Needman and his "Birth of a Tool" film series, which documents one of his tools being lovingly put together by hand. Previously I'd brought across the first instalment of the proje
Gulliver House by Be-Fun Architects
Considering the Christmas break it would seem this week is finishing before it's begun, since today has been our first full day back in the office. Nevertheless it's always good to clear the decks and come through with a fresh line up so I've been on the hunt for a little architecture to compliment
Short Film Introducing Beam & Anchor
As we pass through a period of good will and spirit, I wanted to showcase a short film I came across this morning that shares the story of a company that's based around this very same community feel. Once again we are heading over to the creative hub that is Portland, Oregan as Matt Pierce introduce
Pottery Works by Kazunori Ohnaka
As we take a little break here on the blog for Christmas I often find myself routing around online for inspiration, especially when the weather is bad and I'm stuck inside. Today happens to be one of those days, but I was lucky enough to come across a fantastic collection of works by Japanese potter
Architecture and Interior Design by Robert Mills
The great thing about this job is that you get to discover, you're always learning fresh approaches, concepts, and ideals from all over the world. The blog is like a melting pot for us and I get a great deal of satisfaction from looking at how individuals on the other side of the world view everyday
Ovale Cutlery Collection by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec
Mass production has its place on this website and society in general, as a designer myself I take a lot of inspiration from these industrial products that now shape our technological world. Naturally as we’ve progressed as humans we have looked to manufacturers to meet our consumer needs. One DVD
