The Birth of Saké, A Film by Erik Shirai
Usually I have my finger on the pulse, but this time I let it slip a little. Saying that, I never shy away from the chance to learn more about a subject and soak up all the information like a sponge, hopefully you’ll take away something from this piece as well. I came across a project that had rec
Making the Joseph Walsh Enignum Table by Pau Camarasa
A truly breathtaking video by Spanish filmmaker Pau Camarasa, one that I’ve not come across before but has been around for over a year. Not totally sure how I missed it when searching through Vimeo. Although, I have come across the creative featured named Joseph Walsh, in fact we highlighted him o
The Oyler House: Richard Neutra Documentary by Mike Dorsey
I'm a big believer in the idea of great design being long lasting, which is why we often highlight classic work next to those projects that are slightly more contemporary and recent. The two will always feed into one another in my opinion and it's somewhat fascinating to look back and see how the gr
Island by Ryan Walker
I came across this short film by photographer Ryan Walker earlier, and in watching it I really felt as if I was coming across an old friend. This might sound a little odd, but in saying this I mean through watching "Island" I returned to appreciating film as a medium in itself, something I've not be
Film Series by The Perennial Plate
If you don't mind I thought I'd start the week off with a curve ball, as I really enjoyed watching a few films from the "Pernnial Plate" this morning, all investigating socially responsible and adventurous eating. The project is the creation of Daniel Klein and his co-producer Mirra Fine who set the
Jens Risom’s Block Island Retreat by Gary Nadeau
Short film has been a little thin on the ground this week for the subjects we typically like to discuss here, so I'm pretty relieved to come across Gary Nadeau's latest project on behalf of Dwell, as they caught up with mid-century maestro Jens Risom. The iconic Danish designer took some time out to
Short Film on Photographer Harry Taylor
Whenever possible I try to bring across a short film to highlight an individuals work because I think you really get an overall sense of what both they and their project are all about. Just being able to hear in their voice and visualise the intricate processes involved goes a long way in decipheri
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
Short Film by Mia Shimabuku
We return to a short film that investigates a little craftsmanship, or perhaps craftswomanship if there’s such a thing, as young filmmaker Mia Shimabuki takes a closer look at the work of glass blower Suzi Perret. American creative Suzi works alongside fellow glass fanatic John Gerletti as they cr
Fields of White by Pat Shannahan
The majority of us wear more than one cotton based garment each day, however there are very few of us that actually know what goes into creating it. Photographer turned filmmaker Pat Shannahan visited one of Arizona's cotton growing farmers, the Wuertz's family, a little over a year back now but for
Glass Blowing Short Film from Todd Tankersley
Todd Tankersley introduces us to the art of glass blowing this morning in this short piece featuring his good friend Esteban who is practicing the traditional process. Todd works as a commercial photographer by day, so this short film is a little outside of what he's usually recognised for professio
Machine by Matthew Harrington
We see a collaboration of Matthew's in this short film as director Matt Harrington linked up with craftsman Matt Machine to showcase one beautiful custom motorcycle, put together by hand. I'm definitely not a biker but I really enjoyed the craft elements in this short film. I think there's a real ar
