Bruno Munari, The Man and his ‘Useless Machines’
If you’re a designer of any sort you’ve probably come across or have even read a book titled ‘Design as Art’, written by Bruno Munari. I purchased this book many years ago now and his thoughts and words have stayed with me, in fact it’s still sitting on my shelf today and I often refer bac
Workroom, A Family Project
I found this great little project today that I’ve not come across before titled Workroom that’s run by father and daughter team Rebecca and Douglas Snelling. This concept reminds me of Nikole Herriott who also collaborates with her father Lance, they started a quaint little company a while back
Boiacca Table by LucidiPevere
As a man that's not particularly fond of so called 'cold' objects this particular project that I'm showcasing today was up in the air for a while. I'll explain why as we go on but I have to admit recently I've been drawn to items with more substance and character rather than strict minimalism, I thi
Ferdinand Kramer, Furniture Collection by e15
Today we’re going to take a trip back in time to look at the life and works of designer Ferdinand Kramer, also we get to see how these designs have now been beautifully reproduced by German furniture manufacturer e15. Interestingly enough e15 was named after the postal code of its first workshop i
Collection of work by Tapio Wirkkala
After visiting the studio of Mari Andrews in yesterday's post I’ve kept my nose to the ground in the search for another super creative individual and thankfully I stumbled upon the website of Finish designer Tapio Wirkkala. Now Tapio is unfortunately no longer gracing this earth since his passing
Mari Andrews Photographed by In The Make
We might of created a silly amount of content of our own over the years but we're ultimately big consumers and admirers of others work too. So this morning I'd like to highlight to you all one of my favourite spots to get inspired by called 'In the Make' which showcases various creatives in their st
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
Crockery by Max Lamb
I’ve been meaning to post about Max Lamb for many months now, If I recall correctly I think I wrote a little piece on him a year ago which was about his collaboration with Dunhill on a chair. It was an interesting project but for some reason or another I’ve never got around to posting up more of
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
Brian W Ferry Photographs Joseph Shuldiner’s Home & Studio
We shared quite the multidisciplinary creative yesterday in Herbert Bayer and by coincidence Brian W Ferry presents us with another one today in this beautifully taken photography set of artist, designer, art director and author Joseph Shudiner's home and studio in California. One thing that gives u
Collection of works from Alexandre Noll
We've both been quite taken with sculpture recently given the arrival of a new Alexander Calder book into the office bookshelf, the man was an absolute genius and a big inspiration to lots of you I'm sure. Casually browsing over his work last night I began to long to see other esteemed sculptors and
The Long 8 Chair by Natanel Gluska
This project was somewhat of a surprise for me this morning in that I was expecting one style of furniture and in the end I found myself admiring something completely different. Initially I stumbled across Natanel Gluska's freeform chair constructed out of fibreglass, which reminded me a lot of some
