A Look Inside Le Cabanon by Le Corbusier
What a place! Le Corbusier's retreat called Le Cabanon which sits on a wooded cliff overlooking the Mediterranean. It's the only house that Le Corbusier actually designed for himself, a quaint little cabin which is miniature in scale and could be classed as a one-room cottage. He didn't design a kit
Furniture and Objects at Frank Landau
Today I thought I'd wake up early to find some inspiration for a recent project that I've decided to take on, this involves both pottery and wood, it should interesting to see what comes out of it. Through general browsing I somehow stumbled across the Frank Landau website which is full of fantastic
Workroom, A Family Project
I found this great little project today that I’ve not come across before titled Workroom that’s run by father and daughter team Rebecca and Douglas Snelling. This concept reminds me of Nikole Herriott who also collaborates with her father Lance, they started a quaint little company a while back
Furniture and Detail Shots by Pastoe
Pastoe are quite unique in my opinion, in fact I’ve written about them before when I highlighted the sm05 chair by Cees Braakman, but I’ve not really gone into much depth regarding their history and how this played a part in the furniture world. It all began in 1913 when businessman Frits Loeb d
Ferdinand Kramer, Furniture Collection by e15
Today we’re going to take a trip back in time to look at the life and works of designer Ferdinand Kramer, also we get to see how these designs have now been beautifully reproduced by German furniture manufacturer e15. Interestingly enough e15 was named after the postal code of its first workshop i
Richard Baker, Portraits of Modernist Furniture
I was blown away this week by Richard Baker's fantastic paintings of modernist furniture, it was a no brainer to showcase them here for all to see. I think this is a classic example of where two disciplines that I'm really fond of come to meet and work really well together, on one hand it's superb t
In Order of Appearance Exhibition by Jackson
Have you been looking for some furniture inspiration? I have to admit we’ve been slacking on the furniture front, we barely came across anything last week and I’ve been on the lookout myself. Regular checking spots include Artek, Fritz Hansen and Carl Hansen, obviously there are multiple shops a
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
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
The Two Brothers, Erling and Egon Petersen
I went on a small furniture jaunt last night, checking out multiple design forums and blogs to see if I could find any new designers or interesting creatives. Usually I get a bit stuck because the internet doesn't tend to document the more obscure individuals, they're usually from Denmark or Sweden
Mass Modern at Wright Auctions
When I visited the Wright auction house website this morning I was blown away by the latest imagery that they've just put up, the smile on my face just kept getting bigger and bigger as I scrolled down the page. If you're anything like me you'll see why as we delve deeper into the different objects
Sculpture by Le Corbusier
I pulled across some fantastic sculpture from the one and only Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, better known as Le Corbusier, a genius in my eyes who always inspires me to get creative. I guess you could class this work as later in his life, for example the above piece titled "Little Secret" was created
