Dieter Rams at SFMOMA
This isn't the first time that we've written about Dieter Rams and his work and it probably won't be the last either. I came across this short video piece directed by Nathan Cozzolino and edited/scored by Andrew Birchett for Dwell magazine. Dwell is becoming a place that I check on a regular basis f
Handcrafted Furniture By Denis Milovanov
It's always refreshing and inspiring to see natural, sustainably sourced materials being used in the creation of new ideas. The work of Russian sculptor Denis Milovanov is a fine example of combining ingenuity with common sense, as he crafts wooden furniture out of natural wood found in dead or dama
Inside the Eames House
After much thought and deliberation I decided to do a small post on the Eames house, also known as Case Study House No. 8 since it was an experiment in American residential architecture sponsored by the Arts & Architecture magazine. They commissioned major architects of the day, such as Charles and
The Men of Distinction Series, Episode One
We showcased The Motleys introduction to the Men of Distinction series twelve days ago now, so it made sense for us to highlight the first episode in the series for all of us to view today. For those that didn't catch the introduction, the series basically embodies the spirt of the entrepreneur fol
Mjolk Canada, Product Shots
It's not the first time that I've mentioned Mjolk here on the website and their beautiful little shop in Toronto, Canada. Since I've never really had a chance to showcase any of their design orientated products I thought it would be a perfect chance for me to get hold of some imagery and showcase it
Wooden Laptop Case by Rainer Spehl
Berlin based furniture and interior designer Rainer Spehl has turned his talents to creating some wonderful wooden laptop cases, so it's great to get the opportunity to see these being constructed in this short film I've brought across today. Also based in Berlin is fashion brand Ucon who have teame
Design Within Reach Presents : John Kostick
I've really enjoyed the short films that Design Within Reach have been creating so I think it's about time we brought something across from the good folks over there. Today they're introducing us to designer John Kostick who created his collapsable sculptures back in 1965, which are so simplistic an
Various Ceramics from Tokino Kumo Store
Since I brought across the Rosenfield Collection last week I’ve been on the browse for some more ceramics, until this morning I hadn’t been able to match that same level of quality and originality as previous selections. I found the answer to my woes in Japan within a wonderful little webstore c
Mixed Imagery by Kimberly Wu
My favourite sort of photography doesn't necessarily have to be about composition or clarity but a lot of the time it's about the subject in the photograph and the natural lighting. I prefer it when the person taking the picture is inspired by what they're taking and is very careful about the aesthe
Creating Things with Wood & Faulk
If there’s one thing that’s more refreshing than coming across individuals that create things for a living then it’s finding individuals that not only create but strive to inspire others to do so aswell. Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been enjoying a handful of tutorial based design site
Objects by Keisuke Iwata
I found these amazing pieces by Japanese born Keisuke Iwata on his personal website which showcases lots of the individual items that he's made over the years. Above and below you can find some of my favourite pieces, not only the pottery itself but also the imagery in which has been shot. So gentle
Khoi Vinh, On the Grid
I've been studying the grid for quite a while now, at first I thought it was just relative to the web design field but as time's gone by I've found it's taken on a role not only in my design self but also in my lifestyle choices. Whether it be art, ceramics, film, or even clothing, I'm intrigued to
