Furniture at the Modern Design Exhibition, Wright Auction House
Wright Auction House is a place I regularly check, just as an interested party in design really. As a creative myself I'm always intrigued to see designs from the past that have inspired others, also it gives me inspiration where I can find out about these people that came before me and their backgr
Introduction to Sculptor Michael Coffey by Bespoke Global
This was a real treat of a find today, and I was quite lucky to stumble across it in all honesty. I was taking my usual travels to come across something unique/different that I could showcase and I had remembered I was going to research sculptor Michael Coffey but never got around to it after seeing
Plywood Furniture in the Marcel Breuer Archive
Mr Breuer isn’t exactly a stranger to our archive, these modernist designers always seem to crop up again and again with their classic timeless designs, ones that I’m extremely envious of. Take for example these plywood furniture pieces by Marcel sourced from his ever growing digital archive, it
MUJI Meets IDEE, A Set of Case Studies
MUJI happens to be one of those interesting companies who offer a selection of products that sit quite close to our general aesthetic, but maybe miss out on the craft/independent element. They rarely highlight the original makers, possibly because a lot of the ideas are duplicated from the handiwork
Furniture Designer: Taylor Donsker
Believe me when I say we've seen a lot of craftsmen, creatives, designers and makers over the years and heard many, many stories. Some of these are regularly repeated and you very quickly develop a nose for who is regurgitating the same message and those with genuine drive and passion to create some
A Selection of Furniture by NAUT Design
With our recent release in the shop of the book nest by TRUCK Furniture, which has been ever so popular, I’ve been thinking to myself that we should buy a few items from the TRUCK shop, particular the stools and some chairs for our office. Originally I thought this would be a bit out of my reach c
Preserving the Authenticity of the Eames Furniture by Eames Demetrios
Although we've mainly been discovering craftsman and artists lately we're definitely not looking past the fact that we enjoy various designers who have designed items that are currently being mass produced. In fact, my office bookshelf is littered with hoards of books from the likes of Jasper Morris
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
