Chapelle Notre Dame du Haut by Le Corbusier
Exterior shots of the Chapelle Notre Dame du Haut taken by Paul Koslowski for Foundation Le Corbusier in 1997. Through my own research on Tadao Ando it’s been interesting to see the link between his concrete structures and Le Corbusier’s buildings and architecture. It all made sense when I saw t
The InBetween House by Koji Tsutsui Architects
Built as a mountain retreat from the hustle of Tokyo this “InBetween” home designed by Koji Tsutsui architects sits flawlessly into it’s surrounding topography and neighbouring culture. Constructed using locally sourced and prepared larch wood Koji Tsutsui opted to incorporate traditional Japa
Short Film on Gustavo Perez
It’s almost two weeks to the day now that I brought across the collection of Mexican ceramic artist Gustavo Perez so it was quite a welcome coincidence to see him pop up again today in this delightful short film. The last piece I posted on Gustavo was centred around the exhibition currently taking
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
Porcelain by Taizo Kuroda
My mind is always brought to debate when I see Japanese ceramics and pottery as I’m often baffled by their ability to craft something that is equally clean and pure as it is rich in substance and character. Perhaps it’s the Japanese’s inherent connection to perfecting each process which brings
New Interview Released with Kohsuke Nakamura of Helsinki Store common
Understated yet not underestimated in our book is the common store situated in Helsinki who offer lots of wonderful design led products, many of which have been crafted by Japan’s finest. Stumbling upon their page a little while back we couldn’t help but get in contact and organise a short inter
A look inside the house of Finn Juhl
It seems only last week that we were sharing something Finn Juhl related with you all, although looking back into the archive it was a month yesterday. It’s amazing how time flies on the internet and I mention this as today marks a month of the online shop being open. I hadn’t planned to share t
North Bay House by Prentiss Architects
We couldn't reach wednesday without a little architecture to satisfy our creative cravings, so I've sourced a recent build by Seattle based studio Prentiss Architects which will hopefully cater for everyone's needs. This home is actually quite deceptive as it's a lot larger than it looks here, I don
Ceramics by Gustavo Perez
We are strong believers that craft and design are inherently linked, which is why ceramics are just a present a feature as architecture or clothing within our daily content. In fact recently I think myself and Mark have become a little fanatic about seeing the creation process, but today I thought w
Short Film on Sunset Craftsmanship Co
Outside of Japan these bags are really hard to get your hands on, which is a bit of a shame because here we get to see a video which showcases lots of love and attention to detail as each individual bag gets put together. I'll have to hold my hands up and admit I've not seen too much else from Sunse
Set of Ceramics by Maria Kristofersson
It's hard to grumble at a little Nordic inspiration to start the week off so I've brought across the work of Swedish creative Maria Kristofersson as I really enjoyed browsing over her ceramic collection this weekend. Maria is often noted for her rugged yet quirky creations that hold quite an individ
Short Film on Violin Maker Sam Zygmuntowicz
We love seeing masters at work here, In terms of inspiration it's just incredible to see the passion of someone who's been doing what they love for year upon year. This would be a fitting description of Brooklyn based Violin Maker Sam Zygmuntowicz who we get to see under the microscope in this fanta
