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
CH33 Chair Designed by Hans J Wegner
Last night I thought I'd revisit the Carl Hansen & Son website after I was researching the life and works of Hans J Wegner, a master designer in my mind. All of his furniture is highly inspiring and I love to see the background and context behind each object. Although I'd like to see more of this on
We do Wood Furniture, Denmark
Today I decided to pick up this brilliant imagery from the We do Wood website, a Danish furniture company established in 2006 by two cabinetmakers and designers Henrik Thygesen and Sebastian Jørgensen. Apart from the fact that they design really beautiful furniture with that distinct Danish look, t
Furniture Imagery from the Finn Juhl 2012 Catalogue
Finn Juhl, a man we’ve discussed many times before, captured my attention yesterday after I had a quick browse of their website. It was a pleasant surprise to see a new catalogue released this year which not only features some classic Finn Juhl furniture but also some nice text to accompany it, a
Sculptures by Erik Thommesen
It seems like I've been unleashed into a furniture frenzy lately so when I came across these sculptures by the great artist that is Erik Thommesen I had to fit them into the schedule somewhere. Although I'm not technically an "art" sort of guy I do get drawn in to different forms mixed with a variet
A look Inside the Sukima Studio
I'll be honest here and admit I don't know an awful lot about the Sukima Studio in Denmark, but I enjoyed these photos of their working space all the same so I've brought them across as a little nod of appreciation to their craft. What I do know is that their small team dedicates itself to creating
Jens Risom, A Detailed Look at his Recent Furniture Collection
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
Poul Kjærholm Furniture Collection Imagery
Over the weekend I was roaming around different furniture design websites and I was lucky enough to stumble across this wonderful imagery of Poul Kjærholm's furniture via Fritz Hansen. Although I've heard of Poul and have seen his works over the years I've not really looked into his history as a de
The Making of the Series 7 Designed by Arne Jacobsen
This video is extremely old but I was blown away when watching it this morning and it sort of led me onto researching a bit more into Arne Jacobsen and his works, particularly the Syveren (Seven) series chair. This pressure moulded veneer chair seen here is apparently one of the most sold chairs in
