The Hill Country Jacal by Lake Flato Architects
We couldn't go a whole week without including a slice of architectural inspiration in the format, it just wouldn't feel right. So I've raided the archives of Texas based firm Lake Flato once again presenting this beautiful hill country home which is based upon a Mexican design concept called the Jac

Say hello to Dutch collective HeyHeyHey and their latest project which is a Rube Golberg machine designed to entertain, amuse and inspire. Melvin the Machine is in fact a development of a smaller scale to previous Mevlin's the team has built, with this edition being delicately constructed inside of
Short Film on Sean Woolsey
I felt like sticking with a little more craft today after sharing Sebastian Cox's work yesterday, so I pencilled in this great short film which explores the talents of craftsman, maker and artist Sean Woolsley. This project has been put together by the good folks over at process creative who you may
Short Film on the Aluminium Chair by Charles & Ray Eames
Anyone fond of the Eames pair? Yes us too, which is why I was surprised to come across this fantastic film that documents the making of their iconic Aluminium Chair sitting with so few views over on Vitra's Vimeo page. The duos design of this chair was put together in 1958 and looking back this was
Set of Imagery from Renilde Depeuter
I felt I was well overdue a return to a set of photography so I've pieced together this selection from Renilde Depeuter who many of you may remember for her stunning mobiles we covered on the blog back in February. Initially I was just browsing around enjoying Renilde's photostream over on Flickr an
Selection of Work from Kengo Kuma & Associates
Browsing through their webpage today I was finding it a real struggle to pin down just one project that I wanted to share from Kengo Kuma & Associates architects. Their portfolio was too good not to be shared though, so as a solution I've pieced together a selection of work they've put together over
Design Within Reach Presents: Jens Risom
It's always satisfying to be able to provide more context on the designers that we admire, which is why it's such a pleasure to return to a Design Within Reach short film that involves one of the best mid-century designers in our opinion, Jens Risom. Still actively involved in design at the grand ol
Short Film on “The Chair” by PP Mobler
I've been sitting on this project for a while now so I have apologise somewhat, as I'm sure many of you are eager to see PP Mobler putting together Hans J Wegner's design of "The Chair". I've been debating with myself whether the film quality was on a par with everything else we've previously share
Selection of Work from Akio Kamiya Architect & Associates
Browsing over the portfolio of the Akio Kamiya studio earlier today I was really blown away by the way they’ve transformed a traditional Japanese aesthetic to incorporate modern elements. These projects I’ve brought across today really optimise why I get so inspired by architecture, the combinat
Vintage Colour Photo Series by Hilda Grahnat
I thought I'd throw a bit of a curve ball into the mix as we bring across a series of photography from Malmö based photographer Hilda Grahnat who has undertaken quite an observational project. Combining a few of her favourite vintage items in sets of colour Hilda provides us with ample classic ever
Short Film on Potblack Ceramics
We rejoin the craft theme running through this week as we visit the creations of Ceramicist Travis Jeffery's and his Melbourne based studio through the medium of film. Providing a handcrafted element to the top restaurants in the city, Travis is known for his sleek minimal designs and eye for detail
Collection of Works from Regis Brodie
I thought I'd stick with craft again after sharing wood turner Jonathan Leech with you all last time around. Today I was impressed with the multifaceted nature of creative Regis Brodie's work, so I've brought across a selection as a nod of appreciation to the Pittsburgh based artist, potter, sculpto
