Ovale Cutlery Collection by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec
Mass production has its place on this website and society in general, as a designer myself I take a lot of inspiration from these industrial products that now shape our technological world. Naturally as we’ve progressed as humans we have looked to manufacturers to meet our consumer needs. One DVD
Handmade Lights by Lam Quang and Kestrel Gates
I think an overriding sense of what we are striving to create here is a space where alternate ideas, concepts and ultimately products in our online shop can be shared and supported. So with this in mind, I became fond of the project of Lam Quang and Kestrel Gates this morning who run their own littl
Furnishings, Objects and More at Modern Fifty
After my recent book purchase, 'The Unknown Craftsman' written by Soetsu Yanagi which was adapted by Bernard Leach, it's been great to capture the essence of someone who makes by hand.

A View of Architectural Pottery, U.S.A
I thought we'd take a visit to the collection of Architectural Pottery today who've been handcrafting these vessels in America since the 1950's. I was browsing across their webpage this morning and enjoyed their selection so much I just couldn't help but share my findings. They seem to lean towards
Yata Stool by Naoki Hirakoso
It's hard for us to stay out of Japan with our content, we do try but when you have an eye for a minimal aesthetic it makes life difficult, Japanese designers simply are on another level in this regard. Not to discredit the great talent found in Europe and the Americas, but when you come across obje
