New Norm Dinnerware by Norm and Menu
A collection of tableware designed by architects Norm and produced by Danish design house Menu. Although basic at first sight, the New Norm Dinnerware is part of a larger story.
Room 606: The SAS House and the Work of Arne Jacobsen
If you're a regular reader of this site you've probably realised that we don't do things by halves. Often I delve deeply and get obsessive about a particular subject, so much so that I really like to go in to detail. This post promotes that way of thinking and doesn't just focus on the major element
Photographic Artist Jan Hardisty
Although I'm not necessarily an 'art' buff, I still find myself getting inspired by a multitude of artists both from the past and present. A link between those that do inspire me is an element of abstraction, such as Picasso or Salvador Dali, maybe even Alexander Calder to throw a sculptural artist
Glassworks by Danish Designer Tora Urup
When viewing works made of glass I usually have two thoughts in mind: simplicity and functionality. A lot of European glassmakers tend to have this idea that they need to separate artwork from design work, ie they won't make glassware that doesn't have some sort of 'style' attached to it. This may m
Asserbo house by Christensen & Co Architects
The last two days I've been spending quite a lot of time dedicated to scouring Denmark to see what I can find in terms of craftsmen and women, be this ceramic, metal, glass, or wood workers so hopefully we can bring a few of these individuals to light here in the next few weeks. In the meantime whil
Ann Linnemann, Ceramic Designer, Artist and Potter
If you're anything like me every so often you'll come across a designer or artist who seems to create work that's near enough perfect. It doesn't happen all that often but when it does every photo you view just seems to hit home, and when I bring it across here to showcase it's impossible to pick u
Kay Bojesen, Craft Designer
Kay Bojesen, a bit of a legend to say the least. He's been on my radar for a little while now and I've been studying this Danish designer to see what I could find on him and his work. It's always great to find out new information and Kay is actually tied to the design scene in more than one way. Bor
Tableware by Magnus Stephensen
I'm not really a specialist on silverware as such, I have a bit of a push pull relationship with objects of shine and that element of lure. Although I'm quite the functionalist at heart I've been drawn to objects with that in-between for a fair while now and this tableware by Magnus Stephensen for G
The Two Brothers, Erling and Egon Petersen
I went on a small furniture jaunt last night, checking out multiple design forums and blogs to see if I could find any new designers or interesting creatives. Usually I get a bit stuck because the internet doesn't tend to document the more obscure individuals, they're usually from Denmark or Sweden
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
Stoneware and Ceramic Design Works by Ole Jensen
Some great minimalist stoneware and ceramic objects by Danish designer Ole Jensen. Usually I like the quirky independent pottery but Normann Copenhagen have produced some great objects over the years, for example check out Aaron Probyn’s cutlery, it’s an amazing set which makes me really envious
