Wire Works by Masao Seki
I love wire sculptures and wire work in general, it's quite a fascinating subject in my opinion as it's out of the general scope of what artists usually produce. People like Alexander Calder have originated in this from and have then expanded out into other avenues such as mobile work, or larger scu
Craven Road Studio by Shim-Sutcliffe Architects
I've literally gone around the houses today, as I searched for a dash of architecture that would remind us the value of great design. I found myself quickly fascinated by the work of Toronto based partners Shim-Sutcliffe who have created a great number of mesmerising, highly functional, sleek dwelli
Ceramic Work by Keiichi Tanaka and Aya Omachi
I've been meaning to write a little piece about these great objects, but firstly I had a problem with the image sizes and secondly we've had so many ceramics on the blog it's been hard not to saturate the schedule with the same sort of thing again and again. So I've held off just a little while, but
Wall Reliefs and Figures by Joy Brown
I was pretty blown away by these wall reliefs and figures that I found this morning, I've been spending quite a bit of time in the pottery studio and it's become more and more apparent how hard it is to create sculptures out of clay. Although the material itself is quite durable, with it being easy
Foundation Ernst Scheidegger Archive, The Masters at Work
I love seeing photography of creatives at work, so when I came across this imagery on the Ernst Scheidegger Archive website I couldn't hold back, I had to share it with you all. I've been pretty proud with the sources that I've pulled over to the site this week, this one's no different to be honest
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
Farnsworth House by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
After my long stint of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe posts I've decided to write a short article on the Farnsworth House which caught my eye as I was reading a book about him last night. As the book ends it's quite disappointing to think my research might come to a halt here, hopefully I'll purchase seve

Architecture and Details by Tadao Ando
I’ve been meaning to write a short article on the brilliant Tadao Ando for a little while now, he’s an amazing architect with a classic eye for form and structure. I’m not sure how I actually came across his works in the first place but I’ve had quite a fascination with materials and the con
A Fresh Optimism – Still House by Singapore Studio JUJU
In my personal opinion interior design is so hard to get right. Although a vital part of any build, there seems to be such a divide between the ultra contemporary and the more rustic themes that are popular at the moment. The stripped back aesthetic can leave a cold feeling, with the rustic themes s
