Tableware by Magnus Stephensen
I'm not really a specialist on silverware as such, I have a bit of a push pull relationship with objects of shine and that element of lure. Although I'm quite the functionalist at heart I've been drawn to objects with that in-between for a fair while now and this tableware by Magnus Stephensen for G
Atmosphere & Philosophy, When Objects Work
Today I thought you might appreciate this brilliant selection of imagery from the When Objects Work website. This company was founded by Beatrice de Lafontaine in 2001 after a career in the bespoke interior decoration business. The Belgian company produces and distributes exclusive objects designed
Collection of work from Herbert Bayer
It's not everyday that I put together a more historical type post, however once I find one I often get bitten by the bug and a few follow in quick succession. So after sharing the wooden masterpieces of Alexandre Noll yesterday I went home and began reading about the Austrian multi-discipline design
Design Auction, Phillips de Pury
It's really great when you come across a selection of objects that have been designed by some great individuals, not only that but they've been taken professionally by a proper photographer in a nice setting. You'll be surprised how frustrating it can be when the images are too small or of bad quali
Collection of works from Alexandre Noll
We've both been quite taken with sculpture recently given the arrival of a new Alexander Calder book into the office bookshelf, the man was an absolute genius and a big inspiration to lots of you I'm sure. Casually browsing over his work last night I began to long to see other esteemed sculptors and
Inside the Billy Lloyd Ceramics Studio
Some of you may have seen that we're going to be changing quite a few things here on the site over the next coming weeks. It's fun seeing the development of the site that I started when I was a youngster, even to this day I still can't believe the changes that have been made and it's satisfying to k
Stools, Sculpture and Objects by Alma Allen
Alma's been a massive inspiration for both of us here recently, somehow he's not featured on the site but today I've finally got round to putting together some nice imagery of his work and hopefully this small article will sum up what's behind his pieces and how he creates these fantastic sculptures
BR House by Marcio Kogan
One thing that's always a big frustration for us is actually being able to find the relevant media to document a project, idea or product that we admire. This might sound simple but often it can be a real uphill battle. So today I've dug my way through two photographers portfolios to document the wo
Handmade Ceramics at Inventory Stockroom by Shino Takeda
I'm back again today with another post that follows along the same line as my last, this time I thought I'd put some imagery together thanks to our friends at Inventory who've recently released their latest set of items. It's unusual for me to cover two similar things so closely to one another, but
Tortoise Life, A Look Inside
Every so often I come across shops that resonate with me and seem to be on the same wavelength as us who work here, usually these stores sell totally abstract functional products or items that I've never seen before. It's a pleasure to view objects like these seen here and it peaks my interest in de
Ornaments by Nobuho Miya, Kamasada Ironware
I’m not usually one to bring across a small selection of items, I prefer putting together a post that’s more substantial with captions and all the relevant information. Today I guess is an exception, these ornaments by Kamasada Ironware really grabbed by attention from Japan and I couldn’t let
Visual Acoustics, The Modernism of Julius Shulman
So this is quite a tough post to write really, I'm not sure where to start. I've been on and off writing about furniture and such over the past few weeks but this particular one is more about a film and someones work, it was all inspired thanks to an interview I came across last night. The specific
