Collection of work from Jean Arp
I seem to be caught in somewhat of a nostalgic phase at the moment, focusing on creatives from the past that I admire, opposed to those that are still working away at their craft/design. I guess it's easier to appreciate somebody's creativity and flare when their life's work is over and you can sit
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
Handmade Ceramics at Inventory Stockroom by Shino Takeda
I'm back again today with another post that follows along the same line as my last, this time I thought I'd put some imagery together thanks to our friends at Inventory who've recently released their latest set of items. It's unusual for me to cover two similar things so closely to one another, but
Handmade Tools by John Neeman
I've been making a few flying visits around the personal pages of creatives we've highlighted in the past today, with craftsman John Neeman by far impressing me the most. A few of you may remember we followed his filmed series in the past "a birth of a tool" which documented one of his remarkable ax
Vicki Grima, 87 Spoons Project
I've got the biggest admiration for the creatives that take one field or form and apply influences they've found elsewhere to create something truly individual and unique, which in turn throws conventional thinking on it's head. Australian artist and ceramist Vicki Grima snuggly fits into this brack
Ceramics by Louisa Taylor
I thought I'd bring some ceramics into the fold today as I've been admiring the work of English designer Louisa Taylor and her dainty porcelain creations. I think the finest compliment I can pay Louisa is that her works remind me an awful lot of the understated beauty found within Gwyn Hanssen Pigot
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
Found Objects by Katy Krantz
Whilst the office is quickly becoming overrun by small handcrafted miscellaneous objects it felt quite appropriate to highlight the work of ceramic artist and teacher Katy Krantz. This collection I'm highlighting today, which is titled "Found Objects", has been curated from the offcuts and unused ma
Imagery from Mushimegane Books
Since we shared the short film on Bornholm based potter Anne Mette Hjortshøj last week I've been craving a good set of ceramics or pottery, and thankfully I found something I wanted to share with you all on that front just before the turn of the week. Typically we're heading to Japan, however the c
Made Here Series: Folk Fibers
The Levi’s Made Here series is a project we’ve highlighted in the past yet until today I hadn’t noticed any further developments. I’m glad they’ve come through with another short film however as we get introduced to the talented Maura Ambrose who is responsible for Folk Fibers, a company s
Violin Maker Melvin Goldsmith
At lunch we both came across this short video by Crane TV that really captured our imagination, it’s a piece which features violin maker Melvin Goldsmith. Melvin is a very talented man and made his first violin at the age of 12, his Grandfather taught him the ropes and happened to be a decent amat
