Short Film on Alvar Aalto Exhibition
I think the greatest compliment or recognition as a creative individual you can receive for your life's work is that it outlives you and continues to inspire others after you pass. One designer that refuses to go away in this respect is Alvar Aalto, who Jackson's are currently highlighting in a smal
Alvar Aalto Studio Outtakes by Leslie Williamson
One of the main things that keeps me constantly captivated and inspired is the small network we've been lucky enough to generate here.

Short Film on the Aluminium Chair by Charles & Ray Eames
Anyone fond of the Eames pair? Yes us too, which is why I was surprised to come across this fantastic film that documents the making of their iconic Aluminium Chair sitting with so few views over on Vitra's Vimeo page. The duos design of this chair was put together in 1958 and looking back this was
Design Within Reach Presents: Jens Risom
