WB Furniture Series by Werner Blaser
It takes some special furniture to get me inspired, I've seen so many different pieces over my lifetime that it's got to the point where it's hard to spot something new out there. Usually they have to be handmade and crafted, or have a quality backstory, ie be offering something unique and different
Metsa Spring Summer 2013 Collection
It’s been a long time since I’ve mentioned any clothing here on the site, but I feel like this is a unique collection that’s very much in tune with our own ethos. Metsa isn’t a new project by any means, we put together an interview with owner Markus Uran back in 2011 that’s definitely wort
Kuroda x Toda, White Porcelain Collaboration by Taizo Kuroda and Hiroshi Toda
I feel like over the years my taste has been pretty consistent, even when I was just dipping my feet in as a younger designer I was drawn to the act of simplicity and clean lines. It didn't really matter what it was, whether a building, a painting, a piece of clothing, or magazines and books, I sens
Furniture and Detail Shots by Pastoe
Pastoe are quite unique in my opinion, in fact I’ve written about them before when I highlighted the sm05 chair by Cees Braakman, but I’ve not really gone into much depth regarding their history and how this played a part in the furniture world. It all began in 1913 when businessman Frits Loeb d
Ferdinand Kramer, Furniture Collection by e15
Today we’re going to take a trip back in time to look at the life and works of designer Ferdinand Kramer, also we get to see how these designs have now been beautifully reproduced by German furniture manufacturer e15. Interestingly enough e15 was named after the postal code of its first workshop i
Carl Auböck, The Workshop Book by Clemens Kois
I know I've been a bit heavy on the Carl Auböck front as of late, it's so easy to find inspiring stuff relating to the Auböck family, plus when you make objects like they do it's hard not to showcase them to you all. One of the great things about owning this site is the amount of creatives and ind
Inside the Iittala Glassware Factory
Last time I talked about Iittala I highlighted their new ceramic collection titled Sarjaton which is based on Finnish heritage with a crafted touch. At the time I was actually hunting for some photographs of the glassware that Iittala produce being made in their workshop, I was particularly interest
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

Copenhagen born Jens Risom is our “designer of interest” today, with his well-designed and well-crafted contemporary furniture. Jens is probably most famous at the moment because of the 1961 Playboy photo and article titled “Designs for Living” which featured famous architects and designers
Short Film on Bluesville’s Dying Process
What I love most about the internet is how far reaching and open it is, you can learn so much from so many different individuals around the globe. Take this short film for example, it documents the creation process of a brand over in Indonesia called Bluesville who still cut and make everything by h
Maruni Autumn 2011 Furniture Collection and Project Interior Shots
This morning I decided to bring across some imagery from furniture company Maruni’s website, my last post on the Maruni Collection by Naoto Fukasawa in early 2011 was very popular but this one offers up something different. It’s a selection from the website’s catalogue for Autumn 2011, basical
