Furniture Imagery from the Finn Juhl 2012 Catalogue
Finn Juhl, a man we’ve discussed many times before, captured my attention yesterday after I had a quick browse of their website. It was a pleasant surprise to see a new catalogue released this year which not only features some classic Finn Juhl furniture but also some nice text to accompany it, a
An Exhibition of Children’s Chairs, Mondo Cane and Partners & Spade
One of my favourite blogs and shops at the moment is Mondo Cane, they always have an interesting selection of modernist items, whether it be furniture or sculptures, and the owner Patrick Parrish has a stunning eye for all things design. We can really see this through his blog at Mondo Blogo, worth
Isamu Noguchi, A Man at Work
After a long week it’s great to finish on such an icon as Isamu Noguchi. He really is an amazing talent and I was lucky enough to talk to The Noguchi Museum who gave me access to some imagery of Noguchi at work. This felt like an interesting and inspiring subject to talk about since Isamu is a man
Kettal Outdoor Collection 2012 Catalogue
Spanish company Kettal have really impressed me as of late, especially since they released their newest collection/collaboration titled Park Life with Jasper Morrison. It’s interesting to know it was Jasper’s first outdoor collection which took him around 2 years on and off to design, very clean
The Albini Desk by Franco Albini
What's most disappointing about the internet at the moment is the lack of information regarding past designers and architects. I find it highly frustrating searching for the designers webpage and they haven't even bothered investing in a place to showcase their work. Often this can be put on the hea
Inside the Thonet Furniture Workshop
Today I thought I’d bring across some inspiring imagery that I found on the Thonet website mostly snapped by the talented photographer Mirko Krizanovic. They were taken specifically for the Essence brochure that Thonet produced at the end of 2011, in my eyes it’s a great introduction to the furn
Gauzak Furniture Collaboration with Quattria
Today I came across this brilliant design studio named Gauzak and their furniture that they've been designing for Quattria, a company that sells and produces contemporary objects. Gauzak is actually made up of three individuals, Leire Pérez, Juan Tomás Carboneras and Arkaitz Arco, all of which spe
HAL Chair by Jasper Morrison
Although we generally tend to touch up mid-century style designers here I'm also a big admirer of designers like Jasper Morrison, Naoto Fukasawa, Dieter Rams and other industrial designers who are a bit more current and that are still working today. Naoto for example has a tendency to keep things si
Golden Arber Sculpture by Harry Bertoia at the 510 Fifth Ave Building
This morning I was diligently researching Harry Bertoia, mainly reading more into his life story and his works. I read on the Harry Bertoia blog that his daughter Celia, who also runs the Harry Bertoia website, had recently set up a Facebook page to house information on up and coming events involvin
Vitra FICTION “Remind Me” by Florian Böhm
Vitra recently released this short film directed by Florian Böhm and is titled "Remind Me". It's the first from a series of videos named "Fiction" which looks to tell domestic stories that could have happened to any of us. It shows how these much prized pieces of furniture either drives an action f
Ilmari Tapiovaara, His Life and Works
Today I decided to revert back to a video that I watched a few weeks ago produced by Artek which was an interesting introduction to Finnish designer Ilmari Tapiovaara. It got me thinking about his furniture and his eye for curves and fluidity, all of his pieces have a functional approach but at the
Short Film on Sean Woolsey
I felt like sticking with a little more craft today after sharing Sebastian Cox's work yesterday, so I pencilled in this great short film which explores the talents of craftsman, maker and artist Sean Woolsley. This project has been put together by the good folks over at process creative who you may
