Buchner Bründler Architekten
Although I'm no architect, I do find I have a good sense when it comes to structures and interiors, saying that, I'm not always sure what makes me tick. Usually it involves a lot of open space, a minimal layout, also a mixture of materials, from natural to man made. I always find you need that balan
Functional Kitchen, Living & Office Objects by ideaco
I've been pretty busy with design work lately, unfortunately most of it has taken place sitting in front of the computer. It can be quite easy to get out of rhythm and forget about 'real world' scenarios. I try to stay in touch as much as possible by going to pottery, which adds a handmade element t
Architecture and Interiors by Hiroyuki Shinozaki
Architecture hasn’t been a feature on the site as of late, so I’m making a conscious effort to slot some in to the mix. In fact, I’ve had a few draft posts saved of locations around the web that have inspired me but I hadn’t been able to string something together as such, so today we’re g
Bowls, Bottles and Vases by Victoria Morris
Often I stumble across inspiration randomly whilst searching for individuals that we could represent in the shop. Before we opened I would have to go looking for, or sometimes pushing, a specific subject, which didn't always lead to an interesting article or post. Saying that, now I often get led to
Architecture and Furniture by Alejandro Sticotti
Ever since I discovered Alejandro Sticotti, a leading residential architect and furniture designer from Buenos Aires, Argentina, I’ve really been fascinated by his work. He studied architecture at the University of Buenos Aires before establishing his own line of furniture, NET, twenty-five years
Works by Japanese Potter Mamiko Wada
After my recent posts on architecture, basket weaving, lacquerware and antique art, I feel like I've been pulling out all the stops to show a variety of different subjects on the blog. It's not always that easy, as usually these things come in bunches so you end up with too many architects or too mu
Wooden Lights and Vessels by Laszlo Tompa
I'm constantly amused by the internet, you set off looking for one very specific topic and it often throws you completely in another direction. One thing I'm sure you've seen us mention previously is the fact we'd like to highlight more work here in Europe that takes on similar design sensibilities
Hand Blown Glassware by Sempli Design
How about we add some superb glass tumblers and vessels into the mix today. I'm a big admirer of functional items that serve a humble purpose in day to day life, often the ones we take for granted and that slip in to the back of our mind without a second thought. These tumblers by Sempli remind me o
Furniture Design by Marco Guazzini
Mark brought across some fantastic architecture yesterday from the good folks at Fujiwaramuro studio, I was especially impressed with their interior design and the general layout they opted for within the respective homes featured. There was a real emphasis put on generating a simplistic and natural
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
Architecture and Interior Design by Robert Mills
The great thing about this job is that you get to discover, you're always learning fresh approaches, concepts, and ideals from all over the world. The blog is like a melting pot for us and I get a great deal of satisfaction from looking at how individuals on the other side of the world view everyday
Short Film on Sculptor Richard Serra
You might have noticed the blog going a little quiet over the past few days, I just want to come through and apologise on that front. I hadn't come across a project that has really gripped or enticed me, and we feel compelled to try and offer something insightful here when we do post. Which is why I
