Craven Road Studio by Shim-Sutcliffe Architects
I've literally gone around the houses today, as I searched for a dash of architecture that would remind us the value of great design. I found myself quickly fascinated by the work of Toronto based partners Shim-Sutcliffe who have created a great number of mesmerising, highly functional, sleek dwelli
Cups 2009 – 2012 by Stefan Andersson
Coming across Stefan Andersson's work today was deeply inspiring, the Swedish artist has an exceptional eye and has created some intriguing objects in his time. Most notably this new catalogue from a solo exhibition currently taking place in Malmö, Sweden. It's titled 'Cups 2009-2012' and features
Further Photography from Where They Create by Paul Barbera
This doesn't happen very often but I was completely blown away this morning by the creative energy found within the webpage of photographer Paul Babera. He's undertaken a ridiculously ambitious project where he's travelled the globe searching high and low for the most innovative designers, makers, a
Woodenware by Masahiro Endo
Some beautiful wooden objects by Japanese woodworker and designer Masahiro Endo, he's been on my watch list for quite a while and I've had his personal website bookmarked for a later date. Today seems like a good day to have a browse through the portfolio and talk about some interesting elements reg
Ceramics at Utsuwa Gallery
I've got some wonderful imagery to share with you all today, I actually found this website over the weekend and I spent quite a long time just browsing through the different photographs. In fact I couldn't find too much out about the company itself but I've tried my best to conjure up some informati
Bamboo Cutlery by Saya Okihara and Kazuho Shimomoto
You've probably noticed my little fascination with wooden objects as of late, I'm embarking on a small project myself which will involve me making wooden spoons and cutlery. Actually, I ordered a couple of books off Amazon Japan last week which arrived yesterday, both are by an author named Nishikaw
Short Film on Sculptor Paula Winokur
We are consciously trying not to let ceramics and pottery take over, with an abundance of this type of content floating around the web currently it's a very precise balancing act to maintain. Something that doesn't come along every day however is an insightful short film that investigates the style
Artists and Works at Katakuchi-Ya
Easy breezy on the ceramics front, I've been holding onto a stack of artists and creatives that I wanted to highlight over the next coming weeks. This specific site and work that I'm highlighting today could have given me many options but I decided that since I've got quite a variety on the go I'd s
Alvar Aalto Studio Outtakes by Leslie Williamson
One of the main things that keeps me constantly captivated and inspired is the small network we've been lucky enough to generate here. I love the idea that once we've shared the work of someone that isn't always the end of the line, I like checking back and seeing how creatives works have progressed
Lacquerware by Toshio Fukuda
Here are some beautiful objects made by Toshio Fukuda, a lacquerware artist out of Japan. It looks like he's got an amazing eye for simplistic form in general, as with most Japanese creatives, and has been able to create some astonishing shapes that are both functional and very natural looking. This
Cups, Pots and Bowls by Ryoma Matsubara
Some beautiful cups, pots and bowls that I found whilst browsing a favourite around here, kurasukoto.com in Japan. They've always got an interesting selection of ceramics, textiles and cutlery, so as you can imagine I'm constantly looking that way for inspiration and they rarely disappoint, this tim
Le Corbusier in The Art of Architecture
If in doubt it's always wise to return to those tried, tested and accomplished I've always found, so with this in mind I'd like to turn everyones attention to one of the most marvellous modernist minds, yes you guessed it, Charles-Édouard Jeanneret or as he's more affectionately known Le Corbusier.
