Yasuaki Onishi by Mark & Angela Walley
As many of you may already know I'm quite a big fan of the filming style of Mark and Angela Walley, I'm just glad they're equally adept at sourcing out some really innovative artists like Yasuaki Onishi who features in this film of theirs that I'm sharing today. I've not come across Yasuaki before b
Peter Shire: Cups 1974 – 2012 by Eric Minh Swenson
The good folks at South Willard put me onto this fantastic video based on Los Angeles based artist Peter Shire. Funnily enough last week I was actually browsing Peter’s website and it struck me how playful and comedic his work is, it’s great to know that he doesn’t take life too seriously and
People Watching, Jesse Schlesinger by Leslie Williamson
Many of you may know that we released a nice in-depth interview with photographer Leslie Williamson over the weekend, I was really honoured to have the chance to speak to Leslie, I’m a big admirer of her work and she’s a great person as well (added bonus!). So this morning when I woke up and hea

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
Mario Dal Fabbro Sculptures
I have to say, when I came across these sculptures by designer, writer, craftsman and sculptor Mario Dal Fabbro they really did blow me away, I took an instant liking to them. I also enjoyed the imagery and close-up details, all of which were taken by Maison Gerard where they’ll be holding an exhi
Richard Neutra Rang House Photographed by Iwan Baan
Richard Neutra has become quite the favourite of mine. He’s known for his clean lines, particularly in California where he came celebrated for his geometric but open structures. I think this inspiration came from his tutor in the early days, another inspiring figure, Adolf Loos who was known to ha
The North Face Journey To Sustainability
We don’t tend to showcase too many mainstream brands here on the site, we are more into our independents usually but today I enjoyed this short film which highlights the good work of North Face as they strive to implement a more sustainable process. I think what most turns us off about the lar
Selection of Items from OUTBOUND, Japan
I came across this stunning set of imagery today courtesy of Japanese store OUTBOUND. I'm pretty happy that I did, the best source of inspiration always comes when I trickle through other inspiring websites and find the original source, it leads for intriguing imagery and other great content once I'
Takashi Tomii, Woodworker
Some great functional items by Japanese woodworker Takashi Tomii who was kind enough to send me these through email. I’ve had my eye on this designer for quite a while now and I’ve been a subscriber to his blog hoping one day I could collect enough imagery to share his story. Today seems like a
Dieter Rams at SFMOMA
This isn't the first time that we've written about Dieter Rams and his work and it probably won't be the last either. I came across this short video piece directed by Nathan Cozzolino and edited/scored by Andrew Birchett for Dwell magazine. Dwell is becoming a place that I check on a regular basis f
Objects by Keisuke Iwata
I found these amazing pieces by Japanese born Keisuke Iwata on his personal website which showcases lots of the individual items that he's made over the years. Above and below you can find some of my favourite pieces, not only the pottery itself but also the imagery in which has been shot. So gentle
