Furniture Design by Mikiya Kobayashi
Wow, what an exciting array of product and furniture design by Tokyo born creative Mikiya Kobayashi. I stumbled in to his work via the chii furniture website, and I admired his simplistic approach to seating solutions, often using only necessary elements with not much adornment. Obviously, one thing
High-rise by Photographer Peter Bobby
Although I have more of an interest in residential architecture than commercial or business orientated builds, I have to say this recent project by photographer Peter Bobby certainly caught my attention. I guess houses excite me because you can play with the idea of function in the home, you can als
Furniture and Functional Objects by TEORI
It was a nice surprise to find this Japanese company named TEORI this week, they're producing some superb items that also have a nice story and concept behind them. TEORI was founded in 1998 as a manufacturer of wood products in Kurashiki, Okayama Prefecture. They specialise in making modern design
620 Chair Programme, Adapt and Change by Vitsoe
Anything Dieter Rams is sure to captivate me, I'm constantly reminded of his design ethos thanks to a poster on my office wall referencing the famous 'ten principles for good design'. It's been a bit of a godsend when facing certain design tasks, I can always look back at that and get a few visualis
Hans J. Wegner Short Films by BlackBird for Carl Hansen & Son
Next week I think I’ll get myself down to The Midcentury Show taking place at Lords in London. It wil be my first time but I’m looking forward to seeing some nice furniture and other goods up-close, preferably the classics that have aged well and have stayed modern over the years. To me it’s a
Wooden Furniture and Furnishings by Nikari
Nikari aren't a company that I've really come across before, which is quite embarrassing considering they were founded in 1967 and have been producing quality furniture for many years. It's particular distressing because the furniture is up there with some of the best I've seen to date, and I had a
WB Furniture Series by Werner Blaser
It takes some special furniture to get me inspired, I've seen so many different pieces over my lifetime that it's got to the point where it's hard to spot something new out there. Usually they have to be handmade and crafted, or have a quality backstory, ie be offering something unique and different
Furniture & Design Works by Atelier Steffen Kehrle
After a craft orientated week it seemed suitable to highlight work more rooted in the usual design process, and Atelier Steffen Kehrle has been on my list of 'likes' for a while now. Although I say 'usual', their work is far from it, with one of my favourite parts of their studio website being that
Products & Furniture by Vincent Van Duysen
Sometimes I feel like function can get lost in the beauty of an object, I regularly come across works, now mainly thanks to the shop, that fit in both categories but could be classed as a bit too 'precious'. This leads to another dilemma, the idea that something of this nature loses its functionalit
Donald Judd, Furniture Design
It occurred to me last week that we hadn't really his works properly here on the site, which seemed quite rude, so I decided to put something together that would give you a feel for his furniture in-particular.
Making the Joseph Walsh Enignum Table by Pau Camarasa
A truly breathtaking video by Spanish filmmaker Pau Camarasa, one that I’ve not come across before but has been around for over a year. Not totally sure how I missed it when searching through Vimeo. Although, I have come across the creative featured named Joseph Walsh, in fact we highlighted him o
Design in the Jacques Dupuis Archive
At the moment I feel like I have inspiration flowing at me from all different angles, one website that sums up this feeling nicely is that of Jacques Dupuis. Mr Dupuis was a Belgian architect who happened to be quite a major figure in the countries design and architecture scene, following mainly mod
