Balancing Point – Alex Chair by Designer Isaac Piñeiro for Omelette
When I saw the Alex chair designed by Isaac Piñeiro for the unusually named 'Omelette' I had to share it here. It's a little kick back to the Jean Prouvé forms but with much thinner lines and quirky details such as the inverted arm rests and a swooping back.
Gulliver House by Be-Fun Architects
Considering the Christmas break it would seem this week is finishing before it's begun, since today has been our first full day back in the office. Nevertheless it's always good to clear the decks and come through with a fresh line up so I've been on the hunt for a little architecture to compliment
Atrium House by BFS Design
I thought I'd come through with a little architecture for you all today as a means to balance up what we've got lined up already on the platform from the past few days. I'm sure many of you don't even give this a second thought but we are often weighing up what to bring in next and whether we are to
Transparent House photographed by Tim Van de Velde
Talking upon architecture we quickly learnt that the best source for finding great photographs is the photographers themselves, opposed to the actual firms that create each project. This perhaps sounds a little obvious but when you’re constantly on the lookout for content you soon become wise to t
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
Mimic Shelf by Kairi Eguchi
I think well designed shelving can subtly add that much needed structure to a minimal and open plan home, keeping all your essentials neatly tucked together. Not surprisingly Dieter Rams shelving system for Vitsoe would be the go to unit for most of us, however I was impressed with the work of young
Villa Frenay by 70f Architects
We head to Holland now, Lelystad to be specific through the work of 70F architects and this minimalist Villa that their team built two years back. I can't say I've come across their work previously but I really enjoyed this project all the same, browsing over their portfolio that spans twelve years
Casa de Lavre by Nuno Merino Rocha
I felt it was about time we brought across some architecture that was more recently constructed, yet just as considered as those we've been highlighting from the past. My search landed me in Portugal where architect Nuno Merino Rocha has undertaken this functional, understated build which looks to b
Furniture by Joaquim Tenreiro
I've always (and I'm showing my age here) recognised Brazil mainly for their sporting achievements, having grown up watching the Rivaldo's and Ronaldinho's of this world with much amazement. It got me thinking this morning that I must research more into the designers that originate from this wonderf
