Function Dysfunction Exhibition with Alma Allen, Ani Kasten & Adam Silverman
The function vs non-function debate is one that I regularly battle with, as a designer my urge to make things structural and quite conformative is a very natural one, I like the idea of ordering disorder. But one thing I've been trying to do lately is to step outside this mindset and be more free an
Short Film on Sculptor Richard Serra
You might have noticed the blog going a little quiet over the past few days, I just want to come through and apologise on that front. I hadn't come across a project that has really gripped or enticed me, and we feel compelled to try and offer something insightful here when we do post. Which is why I
Timber Products by Live Wire Farm
I've come across this small business before and I thought it was about time I added them into the archive, they also have some stunning imagery on their website which was definitely worth a showcase. This week in the office I feel the theme has been more of a natural one with lots of inspiration bei
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
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
Objects by Ceramic Studio Vitrified
It's always a joy discovering new companies who have the same aesthetic as us, although you'd think we would be into anything 'minimal' or 'modern' that's not really the case. It's a lot more complicated than that and we seem to be getting very particular about the substance behind a project or busi
Short film on the influences of Steve Reich
It's pretty rare that I do this but the first film I came across today is the one I'm sharing with you all, as I doubt I would have been able to find better. I say this because the piece documents the influences of one of the greatest American composers of our time, and even if you're not that knowl
Interview with American Photographer Leslie Williamson
As the office begins to become over run with books, Leslie Williamson’s Handcrafted Modern has become a firm favourite amongst our ranks. So it’s little surprise that the photographer come author made it to the top of our interview hit list, and fortunately we were able to find a gap in her sche
Collection of Works from Regis Brodie
I thought I'd stick with craft again after sharing wood turner Jonathan Leech with you all last time around. Today I was impressed with the multifaceted nature of creative Regis Brodie's work, so I've brought across a selection as a nod of appreciation to the Pittsburgh based artist, potter, sculpto
North Bay House by Prentiss Architects
We couldn't reach wednesday without a little architecture to satisfy our creative cravings, so I've sourced a recent build by Seattle based studio Prentiss Architects which will hopefully cater for everyone's needs. This home is actually quite deceptive as it's a lot larger than it looks here, I don
Cy Twombly Sculptures
This weekend I spent much of my time working, luckily enough for me though my job tends to revolve around research and I love taking in different information about creatives and designers. I recently talked about the new additions to my bookshelf in a previous post which included the likes of Ludwig
Architecture + Influence : A Short Film on the Work of Philip Johnson
For what seems like months I've been itching to bring forward the work of influential American architect Philip Johnson, however I wanted to both present a project that did his work justice and secondly share something that hadn't been seen or spoken about already. So late last night as I was dwindl
