Porcelain Creations by Nathalie Derouet
A set of astonishing creations by French artist Nathalie Dérouet. I'm not one to bring across many artistic works, as I'm quite a functional individual and don't admire a gallery setting for a number of reasons, but often I find myself taking inspiration from forms in this category (even if it be f
Marion Berrin photographs Le Corbusier’s La Radieuse
Today I've been around the houses in search for content, as my first preference is always to try and find a short film as I feel that these best convey a project, especially if they involve some kind of interview with the creative minds behind each. A handful of topics however, like architecture for
Views of the Jean Prouvé Exhibition at Jousse Entreprise
Our good friends at WO AND WÉ, a site that I’ve admired for quite a while now, put me onto this Jean Prouvé exhibiton that started last month at Jousse Entreprise, a gallery in Paris that showcases a range of well-known designers like Le Corbusier, Serge Mouille, and Alexandre Noll. Most of whic
Leslie Williamson Photographs Constantin Brancusi’s Atelier
I better insert a spoiler alert before we begin today as I've once again raided the blog of photographer Leslie Williamson as she puts together the second edition of her handcrafted modern book. Now I really hope I'm not revealing too much that is to reach the final publication, I'm assuming these a
Mies, Aalto and Le Corbusier Interiors Photographed by Mary Gaudin
New Zealand born photographer Mary Gaudin has been impressing me lately with a selection of photography over on her portfolio website, particularly a section of it which documents a variety of architects homes and builds. Three of my favourites feature here, Alvar Aalto, his home and and office in H
Sculpture by Le Corbusier
I pulled across some fantastic sculpture from the one and only Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, better known as Le Corbusier, a genius in my eyes who always inspires me to get creative. I guess you could class this work as later in his life, for example the above piece titled "Little Secret" was created
Jean Girel Ceramics
Today I thought I'd bring across a set of works by French ceramic artist Jean Girel, he's a real talent and definitely deserves to be showcased. This specific set of imagery was picked up from his recent exhibition at Maison Gerard, who always do a fantastic job at photographing the objects that the
Jean Prouvé Architecture, Prefabricated and Dismantable Houses
As you may know already I’ve showcased various bits of imagery over the year from gallery Patrick Seguin, which happens to be one of my favourite “go to” places at the moment. Patrick is actually quite a prominent figure of the 20th century design world who helped promote various famous creati
Mobiles, Stabiles and Sculptures by Alexander Calder
In my article on CY Twombly a few weeks back I promised that I’d explore the works of Alexander Calder sometime in the near future. That day is today, I’m going to shed some thoughts on the individual, why he inspired me and also use this post to present some wonderful works that he’s created
La Mer de Pianos by Tom Wrigglesworth and Mathieu Cuvelier
It’s not often that both me and Daniel get to sit down and watch a creative video together in the office, usually we’re sitting on separate desks and are focused on our own work but since we’ve been on a late night slog working towards the opening of the shop tonight we were lucky to see a fil
FrenchTrotters Portrait #01 Carole
Parisian store FrenchTrotters have been working on a short video series titled “Portrait” which looks at people in their daily environments. This first one features Carole Dehlouz, one part of the FrenchTrotters duo, and shows her kicking back in her flat and tending to the nice array of
