The Tables of Carlo Scarpa
Today I thought I'd bring across some stark looking design for all of you to admire. This furniture by Carlo Scarpa is sure to hold well against the cold weather that we're experiencing here in the UK, and it was the perfect remedy for me over the weekend. I decided to sit through a short film early
Documentary on Architect Josep Lluis Sert
I felt it was about time architecture joined our creative content this week, so I went on the hunt earlier this morning to find either a recent build or a short film that would provoke a little food for thought on the subject. I'd not intentionally headed out with the modernist era in mind but once
Furniture Design by Marco Guazzini
Mark brought across some fantastic architecture yesterday from the good folks at Fujiwaramuro studio, I was especially impressed with their interior design and the general layout they opted for within the respective homes featured. There was a real emphasis put on generating a simplistic and natural
Damascus Steel Knife Making by John Neeman
I thought I'd bring another familiar face back into the fold today as we revisit the work of traditional craftsman John Needman and his "Birth of a Tool" film series, which documents one of his tools being lovingly put together by hand. Previously I'd brought across the first instalment of the proje
Inspirational Structures by Takeshi Hosaka Architects
Usually we're known for highlighting lesser-known independents who work on smaller scale projects. Takeshi Hosaka is quite the opposite of that, being a much bigger architecture firm who've worked on some big projects over the years, they're also recognised internationally for their good work (recen
Interior Spaces and Details by Takeshi Hirobe Architects
As they say, "it's all in the details". Takeshi Hirobe Architects proves this statement true with their awe inspiring houses, I've never come across interior spaces with such precision and individuality. I'd like to point out a few things to start off this post, firstly check out the above picture w
Designs by David Ericsson
Let's head to Sweden now on the content front, there's a lot to admire in this part of the world, particularly when it comes to, yes you guessed it, design. I'm steering away from what you would typically expect me to be sharing today in terms of well established individuals or brands however, and i
Miyazaki K Lounge Chair, Designed by Makoto Koizumi
I love getting in touch with small independent companies, it gives me a chance to actually connect in a personal way and also lets them know about our interest in their company. Sometimes we even hope it gives them that extra urge to continue creating, to know that there are people out there who app
New Feature: Interview with Mira Nakashima
We are excited to return with out interview format today, as it's a section of the platform we've missed being involved with given the fact we get the opportunity to connect with so many aspirational individuals. It's had to take a bit of backseat if we're honest as we've looked to move the site for
Collection of work from Kristine Five Melvær
An overriding theme we often see here, and I'm sure many of you have noted previously, is the battle of the Japanese influence that we have going on. We are constantly amazed and blown away by the quality of craftsmanship this part of the world presents, I think their is definitely more onus within
Plus Minus Zero Wire Ware Designed by Naoto Fukasawa
A simple but unique selection by Plus Minus Zero in Japan, designed by the one and only Naoto Fukasawa. I suppose when you're a famous designer it gives you the chance to work on some interesting projects, this particular company being one of them who has given Naoto Fukasawa full design direction.
Volga House by Architect Peter Kostelov
Russia isn't somewhere that we've typically turned to in terms of showing architecture here on the blog, however I came across the work of Peter Kostelov earlier and was really impressed with the way he was using reclaimed materials within his projects. He's a former winner of the International Arch
