Short film on Aaron Rose and The Watts Towers
I was really inspired this morning by the story of Simon Rodia and his desire to create the monumental sculpture that is the Watt Towers in Los Angles with such a humble and workman like manner. I have to admit his name is one I haven't crossed paths with on the internet before today, however The Av
Brian W Ferry Photographs Joseph Shuldiner’s Home & Studio
We shared quite the multidisciplinary creative yesterday in Herbert Bayer and by coincidence Brian W Ferry presents us with another one today in this beautifully taken photography set of artist, designer, art director and author Joseph Shudiner's home and studio in California. One thing that gives u
Collection of works from Alexandre Noll
We've both been quite taken with sculpture recently given the arrival of a new Alexander Calder book into the office bookshelf, the man was an absolute genius and a big inspiration to lots of you I'm sure. Casually browsing over his work last night I began to long to see other esteemed sculptors and
Vicki Grima, 87 Spoons Project
I've got the biggest admiration for the creatives that take one field or form and apply influences they've found elsewhere to create something truly individual and unique, which in turn throws conventional thinking on it's head. Australian artist and ceramist Vicki Grima snuggly fits into this brack
The Long 8 Chair by Natanel Gluska
This project was somewhat of a surprise for me this morning in that I was expecting one style of furniture and in the end I found myself admiring something completely different. Initially I stumbled across Natanel Gluska's freeform chair constructed out of fibreglass, which reminded me a lot of some
Art in Progress by Leonora Hamill
Obviously when it comes to art, craft and design it's often the face value of a project that excites the majority, however one thing that always grips my interest is the context to the visual, the concept behind it and how the piece has been made. Which is why when I came across this project by phot
Tableware by Sue Paraskeva
Here you can see some beautiful creations by Sue Paraskeva, a potter and artist who's situated in the Isle of Wight. I originally came across her a couple of months ago on Vimeo but I decided not to bring the video onto the blog because it had a crazy amount of views and I didn't want to regurgitate
Ceramics and Sculpture by Ian McDonald
It's not the first time I've come across Ian McDonald's works, he's always getting involved in interesting exhibitions, one last year titled "One Eight Hundred" was so close to our own name that it's been stuck in my head for a long time now. So today when I revisited his website it was a nice surpr
Ceramics by Karin Michelsen
It's pretty inevitable now that our internet digging will often land us in one of the Scandinavian countries given the considered eye for craft and design in this part of the world, similar to that of Japan. So it doesn't really surprise me that we return here today through the work of Danish cerami
Manos, Pottery Studio by Oscar Liedgren
This post is a case of one project leading to another as we return to talented Swedish filmmaker Oscar Liegren and his latest short film which features Potter Karin Eriksson in her studio. Many of you enjoyed Oscar’s previous piece we shared on Kiki, the Japanese design store in Stockholm, so I de
Collection of work from Origami Artist Robert J Lang
Not too many people can say they've taken over the Google homepage for a day, so American origami artist Robert J Lang is in a bit of a league of his own in that respect given his exposure on the search engine giant back on March 14th earlier this year. He also happens to be one of the most respecte
Serge Mouille, Lighting Designer
As I was perusing through the usual subjects of mid-century design I stumbled across the ever so fantastic Serge Mouille, who seems to have had a recent web design update. Although not totally finished at the moment it looks like the studio will be releasing a publication of photography featuring Se
