Seating, Lighting and Storage Inspiration at Augustus Greaves
Some cracking inspiration that I found on my travels today, this time a bit more local to us at Augustus Greaves, based between Oxford and London. They specialise in selling pieces of design, whether it's objects such as vases or lights, or furniture and tables, I decided to pick up a selection from
Irving Harper: “Paper is a versatile medium” by Herman Miller
Wow, I came across this amazing video earlier today and I've been been itching to write a piece on it. Interestingly the subject is designer Irving Harper who's someone that I was searching up about a few months back, specifically looking for imagery of his paper sculptures (what a coincidence). Her
Collection of work from Robin & Lucienne Day
From a personal perspective I can’t think of anything more heartwarming than coming across the entire life’s work of a creative couple. British designers Robin and Lucienne Day are a prime example of two different styles intertwining and complimenting one another, for those that haven’t been i
Mass Modern at Wright Auctions
When I visited the Wright auction house website this morning I was blown away by the latest imagery that they've just put up, the smile on my face just kept getting bigger and bigger as I scrolled down the page. If you're anything like me you'll see why as we delve deeper into the different objects
Inside the Iittala Glassware Factory
Last time I talked about Iittala I highlighted their new ceramic collection titled Sarjaton which is based on Finnish heritage with a crafted touch. At the time I was actually hunting for some photographs of the glassware that Iittala produce being made in their workshop, I was particularly interest
Design Pieces from aprogramthatprovides
Yesterday I stumbled across this cool little tumblr site that sells different pieces of design titled 'aprogramthatprovides', most of which are right up my alley. A few that I'll point out straight away include the salt and pepper pots by Enzo Mari that are featured in the 5th image from the top. I
Franco Albini Catalogue by Nilufar
Over the weekend I was pretty lucky to stumble across this amazing imagery that features Franco Albini’s works, some from the past and others that are more recent. I’ve actually discussed Mr Albini before when I pointed out his beautiful desk produced in 1958 by the one and only Knoll. This spec
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
Furniture Imagery from the Finn Juhl 2012 Catalogue
Finn Juhl, a man we’ve discussed many times before, captured my attention yesterday after I had a quick browse of their website. It was a pleasant surprise to see a new catalogue released this year which not only features some classic Finn Juhl furniture but also some nice text to accompany it, a
Vitra FICTION “Remind Me” by Florian Böhm
Vitra recently released this short film directed by Florian Böhm and is titled "Remind Me". It's the first from a series of videos named "Fiction" which looks to tell domestic stories that could have happened to any of us. It shows how these much prized pieces of furniture either drives an action f
Form by Brian Franczyk
Over the weekend I bumped into the portfolio and photographic works of Brian Franczyk, it was a nice surprise as I had browse through the different sections of his website and found some stunning shots in general. A series of particular interest was one titled "form" which mainly involved photograph
