Furniture from the Elijah Leed Studio
I bumped in to the studio of Elijah Leed last week and I was pleasently surprised with my findings, as initially I didn't set out to discover a furniture designer of any sort. So it was not only great to see some simplistic forms, I also liked the idea that all of these were made out of reclaimed ma
Profile on Dutch Furniture Company Royal Ahrend and Designer Friso Kramer
It didn't take long for me to step back in to my architectural ways, I feel like it's been a bit heavy on the subject lately and that I haven't given anything else a chance to soak through. To be honest, it could be down to a couple of books that came in to the shop last week relating to a few certa

New Interview with Tokuhiko Kise of TRUCK Furniture
This week we have a special feature for you all of you to enjoy, putting this together has been one of my favorite to date, it’s always a pleasure to work with imagery and content like this. Plus, I know this particular feature in question is going to be enjoyed across the whole web and in many co
Vang Chair by Norwegian Designer Andreas Engesvik
I know I'm running the risk of turning this blog into a bit of a furniture fest, wasn't my intention, but since I've started a little chair project of my own it seems to be ironic that I'd run across works of this nature. I become like a human magnet. Originally I thought it would be hard to find fo
Stool 01 and Chair 01 by Daphna Laurens
In my pursuit of writing more in-depth articles on design and other subjects relating to that matter, you may see less frequent postings here of a trivial nature. Alongside personal projects that I'm trying to conquer in my spare time it makes sense to think slightly more complex and provide you wit
Muller van Severen, A Furniture Project by Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen
I’ve been thinking about making some of my own furniture over the last few days, maybe drawing up some concepts and playing around with different woods or metals. This has probably come about due to an interview I watched a few days ago featuring Ward Bennett, the popular American designer, ar
The Tables of Carlo Scarpa
Today I thought I'd bring across some stark looking design for all of you to admire. This furniture by Carlo Scarpa is sure to hold well against the cold weather that we're experiencing here in the UK, and it was the perfect remedy for me over the weekend. I decided to sit through a short film early
Short film on Sarah and John Burrows of Wood Design
As the evening draws in I thought I'd bring across this short film that shares the story of Sarah and John Burrows, who run a website I've been enjoying on a daily basis for quite a number of months now. Wood Design, if you've not come across it before, offers a selection of handcrafted furniture fr
Designs by David Ericsson
Let's head to Sweden now on the content front, there's a lot to admire in this part of the world, particularly when it comes to, yes you guessed it, design. I'm steering away from what you would typically expect me to be sharing today in terms of well established individuals or brands however, and i
Miyazaki K Lounge Chair, Designed by Makoto Koizumi
I love getting in touch with small independent companies, it gives me a chance to actually connect in a personal way and also lets them know about our interest in their company. Sometimes we even hope it gives them that extra urge to continue creating, to know that there are people out there who app
Furnishings, Objects and More at Modern Fifty
After my recent book purchase, 'The Unknown Craftsman' written by Soetsu Yanagi which was adapted by Bernard Leach, it's been great to capture the essence of someone who makes by hand. It has also opened my eyes to the relationship between an artisan or designer and the finished product itself. Shou
