Franco Albini Catalogue by Nilufar
Over the weekend I was pretty lucky to stumble across this amazing imagery that features Franco Albini’s works, some from the past and others that are more recent. I’ve actually discussed Mr Albini before when I pointed out his beautiful desk produced in 1958 by the one and only Knoll. This spec
Collection of Goods from Restoration Hardware
Neither of us spend much time watching television, however when we do take a little down time we can be caught watching documentaries on vintage antiques and restorations. So today I thought I'd bring a little of this influence into the format and my internet digging landed me upon the webpage of Am
Mixed Imagery from the Artek Catalogue
Today I'm going to revisit the one and only Artek, a company who we've talked about many times before here on the blog. Alvar Aalto is a massive inspiration and since Artek was co-founded by the man himself and three other inspired creatives, his wife Aino, Maire Gullichsen and Nils-Gustav Hahl, it
Designer Yrjö Kukkapuro for Apartamento Magazine #9
The fantastic blog that is Wo and We put me onto a series taken by photographer Osma Harvilahti for Apartamento Magazine issue number 9.

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
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
A Selection of Furniture from Mid Mod Design
Desk designed by Cees Braakman for Pastoe in 1958. Well before I’ve even started writing this post I’ve lied, in the title it says this furniture is all from the Mid Mod Design website when actually it’s a mixture of two sites, Mid Mod Design and Mass Modern Design. But since both of these sit
A Mixture of Furniture Works by Jean Prouvé
Last night I went on a bit of a knowledge jaunt and sent myself back in time to find out about previous designers, philosophers and thinkers, something I've found myself doing more and more of over the past year. My library of design books is slowly reaching the realms of uncontrollable, but I can't
Furniture and More from Sit and Read
Sit and Read has been a place to check on the regular for many people, becoming extremely popular amongst the furniture savvy in the last few years. If you don’t know already, this company was founded by Kyle Garner who when working in New York in 2007 as a production designer couldn’t find spac
Furniture by Jason Lewis
Chicago-based designer/maker Jason Lewis creates these beautiful pieces of furniture in his studio, which includes seating, tables, storage units, and other customs items.

Pacific Furniture Service
You may have seen me place this up on our twitter account earlier (head here for our twitter updates), but I had to post this up for everyone to see. This quaint Japanese store is called Pacific Furniture Service and was born in 1988. You can tell they have a real passion for furniture and […
