Furniture and Objects at City Furniture
Wow, I've been having an incredible time this morning searching through the City Furniture website. It's an online design gallery specialising in 20th century furniture, they also sell other objects such as lighting and ceramic works, if you're lucky enough you can even catch some art/sculpture in t
Short film on Ron Radziner and his home
I've been doing a little internet digging and I've come across this short film on the principal designer at Marmol Radziner which provides further context into the design of his own home. I was delighted to find this project as there doesn't seem to be an abundance of films online featuring modern a
Design Pieces from aprogramthatprovides
Yesterday I stumbled across this cool little tumblr site that sells different pieces of design titled 'aprogramthatprovides', most of which are right up my alley. A few that I'll point out straight away include the salt and pepper pots by Enzo Mari that are featured in the 5th image from the top. I
Tekio by Anthony Dickens
We now move our attention towards an English based designer who has undertaken a project influenced by the design style of Japan, so something that feels quite at home in our archive. Given our admiration for the Japanese style we can be rather predictable with our content sometimes, although we hav
360 House by Subarquitectura
Apologies if you've come across this project before but this Madrid based build and it's concept really intrigued me when browsing around today. The design of the 360 House, which was realised three years ago by Subarquiteura firm, is something I've not come across before, the house is looped back o
Tableware by Sue Paraskeva
Here you can see some beautiful creations by Sue Paraskeva, a potter and artist who's situated in the Isle of Wight. I originally came across her a couple of months ago on Vimeo but I decided not to bring the video onto the blog because it had a crazy amount of views and I didn't want to regurgitate
Villa Frenay by 70f Architects
We head to Holland now, Lelystad to be specific through the work of 70F architects and this minimalist Villa that their team built two years back. I can't say I've come across their work previously but I really enjoyed this project all the same, browsing over their portfolio that spans twelve years
A&B Award Objects by Fraser Reid and Nick Ross
I love this quirky set of "Award Objects" created by Fraser Reid and Nick Ross, I found these last night and I thought they were quite unusual but simplistic and minimal at the same time. Actually I've never been a massive fan of metal, particularly shiny metals that stick out and bring too much att
Ceramics and Sculpture by Ian McDonald
It's not the first time I've come across Ian McDonald's works, he's always getting involved in interesting exhibitions, one last year titled "One Eight Hundred" was so close to our own name that it's been stuck in my head for a long time now. So today when I revisited his website it was a nice surpr
Ficalho House by John Cassian Santos
I don't know if anyone has noticed within our format but I've slowly been trying to learn more about architects who operate in warmer climates. Previously I brought across work from Brazil and today we visit Portugal through this house by architect John Cassian Santos. The minimalistic home seen abo
Sarjaton by Iittala
I was pleased this afternoon when I came across the video that can be seen below produced by Iittala, originally a glass factory in Finland but they now make all sorts of objects to "enrich people's everyday lives". You may know them for one particular collaboration that took place with Alvar Aalto,
Franco Albini Catalogue by Nilufar
Over the weekend I was pretty lucky to stumble across this amazing imagery that features Franco Albini’s works, some from the past and others that are more recent. I’ve actually discussed Mr Albini before when I pointed out his beautiful desk produced in 1958 by the one and only Knoll. This spec
