New Feature: Interview with Mira Nakashima
We are excited to return with out interview format today, as it's a section of the platform we've missed being involved with given the fact we get the opportunity to connect with so many aspirational individuals. It's had to take a bit of backseat if we're honest as we've looked to move the site for
Shaker-Style Oval Tea Boxes by Kobayashi Katsuhisa
I'm always on the look out for new and exciting shops that revolve around a concept like ours, I guess it's just the same as finding people with similar inspirations. Usually these little places are quite hard to find online, as they're ultimately not pushing towards a mass audience, but one that ca
Seating, Lighting and Storage Inspiration at Augustus Greaves
Some cracking inspiration that I found on my travels today, this time a bit more local to us at Augustus Greaves, based between Oxford and London. They specialise in selling pieces of design, whether it's objects such as vases or lights, or furniture and tables, I decided to pick up a selection from
Reclaimed Wooden Furniture by Hugo Franca
It's not everyday that we're lucky enough to come across works like we have here today from Brazilian artist and craftsman Hugo Franca, but boy does it make your morning when projects of this nature do come along. Hugo is responsible for the bespoke handmade furniture that you see before you, all of
Large Wooden Pebbles by Joel Sayre
Some fantastic wooden pebbles that I came across earlier made by Joel Sayre. They reminded me of two of my favourite woodworkers, one named Alma Allen and the other being Ed Moulthrop, the so called ‘father of modern wood turning’. Possibly Alma because of the shape and lovely finish, and maybe
Strick house by Oscar Niemeyer
Time for some more modernist architecture I think. I've been on the browse since wednesday when we highlighted Marion Berrin's collection of Le Corbusier photos and luckily this morning I came across another beautiful build, this time by Oscar Niemeyer. I say architecture, and of course it is, becau
Furniture at Monokraft
Some delicious looking furniture I stumbled across at the start of the week by Monokraft, a Japanese company based in Tokyo. They've got a fantastic website that showcases their work beautifully, so I thought I'd bring a selection of my favourites across for all of you to admire. As I've said in pre
Views of the Jean Prouvé Exhibition at Jousse Entreprise
Our good friends at WO AND WÉ, a site that I’ve admired for quite a while now, put me onto this Jean Prouvé exhibiton that started last month at Jousse Entreprise, a gallery in Paris that showcases a range of well-known designers like Le Corbusier, Serge Mouille, and Alexandre Noll. Most of whic
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
