New Feature: Interview with Mira Nakashima
We are excited to return with out interview format today, as it's a section of the platform we've missed being involved with given the fact we get the opportunity to connect with so many aspirational individuals. It's had to take a bit of backseat if we're honest as we've looked to move the site for
Functional Items by SAITO WOOD
It wasn’t that long ago that I entered another small business into the archive named M.Saito Wood Works, and today it’s quite ironic that I’m placing another in called SAITO WOOD, which is quite close but not exactly the same. To be honest they’re on different sides of the spectrum but they
Collection of work from Kristine Five Melvær
An overriding theme we often see here, and I'm sure many of you have noted previously, is the battle of the Japanese influence that we have going on. We are constantly amazed and blown away by the quality of craftsmanship this part of the world presents, I think their is definitely more onus within
In Between for Inframince Designed by BCXSY
I bumped into this superb collection earlier which really intrigued me, a series designed by BCXSY and was commissioned by Japanese company Inframince. It's part of project called 'tile_objects 01', which I don't know too much about myself, but I do know that Inframince have got together with a few
Plus Minus Zero Wire Ware Designed by Naoto Fukasawa
A simple but unique selection by Plus Minus Zero in Japan, designed by the one and only Naoto Fukasawa. I suppose when you're a famous designer it gives you the chance to work on some interesting projects, this particular company being one of them who has given Naoto Fukasawa full design direction.
Volga House by Architect Peter Kostelov
Russia isn't somewhere that we've typically turned to in terms of showing architecture here on the blog, however I came across the work of Peter Kostelov earlier and was really impressed with the way he was using reclaimed materials within his projects. He's a former winner of the International Arch
Mogu-Kagu Wood Furnishings & Design
I hope you'll excuse the influx of Japanese designers that have shown up on the blog lately, it wasn't intentional. When you own quite a personal blog like ours you have to go with the flow and pick out what's inspiring you at that moment in time, but it's quite apparent that a lot of good work is c
Creative Imagery from Potter Yoshiyuki Shimizu
I love seeing imagery of creatives and artists at work, so when I stumbled across this fantastic looking set featuring Japanese potter Yoshiyuki Shimizu I had to pull it over for all of you to enjoy. Wonderful originality in the photography and I think all these of these do a great job at conveying
Flow Gallery – The Spirit Of Things
When we aren't working or creating it's great to get ourselves out the office and take some influence from others through the medium of gallery exhibitions. The Flow gallery in Notting Hill, London which is owned by Yvonna Demczynska has been running a fantastic showcase recently titled the spirt of
Shaker-Style Oval Tea Boxes by Kobayashi Katsuhisa
I'm always on the look out for new and exciting shops that revolve around a concept like ours, I guess it's just the same as finding people with similar inspirations. Usually these little places are quite hard to find online, as they're ultimately not pushing towards a mass audience, but one that ca
Seating, Lighting and Storage Inspiration at Augustus Greaves
Some cracking inspiration that I found on my travels today, this time a bit more local to us at Augustus Greaves, based between Oxford and London. They specialise in selling pieces of design, whether it's objects such as vases or lights, or furniture and tables, I decided to pick up a selection from
Atrium House by BFS Design
I thought I'd come through with a little architecture for you all today as a means to balance up what we've got lined up already on the platform from the past few days. I'm sure many of you don't even give this a second thought but we are often weighing up what to bring in next and whether we are to
