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
Minuscule Chair by Cecille Manz
Browsing around this morning I found myself enjoying this short film on modern day designer Cecille Manz, who I have to admit I'm not all that familiar with. I was however really taken with her Minuscule chair design and given that Fritz Hansen who put the film together offer her work alongside that
Mimic Shelf by Kairi Eguchi
I think well designed shelving can subtly add that much needed structure to a minimal and open plan home, keeping all your essentials neatly tucked together. Not surprisingly Dieter Rams shelving system for Vitsoe would be the go to unit for most of us, however I was impressed with the work of young
Mid Century Modern Imagery from Frederick Barr
I've quietly continued to get inspired by the mid-century era yet in recent times I've not brought anything across onto the blog in correspondence with this. Today I felt it was about time I stopped hoarding my sources of inspiration and shared them with you all, so here we are with a collection of
Mjölk Release New Online Store
Our good friends John and Juli Baker of Toronto based store Mjölk have just released their new web shop over the weekend. It's been a place that I've checked on a weekly basis for a number of years but over the past few months there has been little to no movement from them online, this is partly be
Furniture and Objects at City Furniture
Wow, I've been having an incredible time this morning searching through the City Furniture website. It's an online design gallery specialising in 20th century furniture, they also sell other objects such as lighting and ceramic works, if you're lucky enough you can even catch some art/sculpture in t
Modified Benches by Jeppe Hein
Art and design cross swords in this entertaining project by Danish artist Jepp Hein which appeals to the playful nature of the city dweller through the considered eye of the confessed surrealist. If you've not come across her work before Jepp is widely known for her tongue in cheek installations in
Franco Albini Catalogue by Nilufar
Over the weekend I was pretty lucky to stumble across this amazing imagery that features Franco Albini’s works, some from the past and others that are more recent. I’ve actually discussed Mr Albini before when I pointed out his beautiful desk produced in 1958 by the one and only Knoll. This spec
Collection of Goods from Restoration Hardware
Neither of us spend much time watching television, however when we do take a little down time we can be caught watching documentaries on vintage antiques and restorations. So today I thought I'd bring a little of this influence into the format and my internet digging landed me upon the webpage of Am
Furniture Fit for the Kingdom
Today I thought I'd showcase this film that I came across yesterday morning, directed by Nathan Clarke it's a short documentary type piece on furniture maker Harrison Higgins. The Virginia woodworker describes his ideology and how he feels about making functional items out of wood, also we are guide
Selection of Furniture from Superfolk
I'm not sure how popular Makers and Brothers has become, but personally I've really enjoyed seeing their vision unfold as they bring the world Irish made objects that are simple, beautiful and sometimes very quirky. If you've not made a visit to their web shop yet I'd really recommend making the cli
Martin Visser, Exhibition of 1960’s Dutch Modernist Furniture at Rocket Gallery
Rocket Gallery in London recently opened an exhibition dedicated to the one and only Martin Visser, the dutch designer who from the late 1950's to early 1970's was Head of Design at ‘t Spectrum. He actually acquired the company during the 1960's which I guess shows just how dedicated he was to the
