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
Glassworks by Danish Designer Tora Urup
When viewing works made of glass I usually have two thoughts in mind: simplicity and functionality. A lot of European glassmakers tend to have this idea that they need to separate artwork from design work, ie they won't make glassware that doesn't have some sort of 'style' attached to it. This may m
Assorted Imagery from Fujiwaramuro Architects
I thought I’d lighten up the mood after a busy holiday period, bringing with me a concise selection of imagery from Fujiwaramuro architects who’re based out of Osaka. My little jibe with Japan continues as I’ve been coming across a variety of inspiration from that part of the world, the consi
Functional Items by SAITO WOOD
It wasn’t that long ago that I entered another small business into the archive named M.Saito Wood Works, and today it’s quite ironic that I’m placing another in called SAITO WOOD, which is quite close but not exactly the same. To be honest they’re on different sides of the spectrum but they
Mogu-Kagu Wood Furnishings & Design
I hope you'll excuse the influx of Japanese designers that have shown up on the blog lately, it wasn't intentional. When you own quite a personal blog like ours you have to go with the flow and pick out what's inspiring you at that moment in time, but it's quite apparent that a lot of good work is c
Stoneware and Ceramic Design Works by Ole Jensen
Some great minimalist stoneware and ceramic objects by Danish designer Ole Jensen. Usually I like the quirky independent pottery but Normann Copenhagen have produced some great objects over the years, for example check out Aaron Probyn’s cutlery, it’s an amazing set which makes me really envious
Kettal Outdoor Collection 2012 Catalogue
Spanish company Kettal have really impressed me as of late, especially since they released their newest collection/collaboration titled Park Life with Jasper Morrison. It’s interesting to know it was Jasper’s first outdoor collection which took him around 2 years on and off to design, very clean
Designed Objects by Carl Auböck
After searching through the Leslie Williamson archives on her blog I came across this fantastic photo from the Handcrafted Modern book of the stuff on Walter Gropius’ desk. As I was routing around for more information it struck me that a fair few of the objects on the desk, mainly the stone and br
A look Inside March Pantry Store, San Francisco
First and foremost when hosting imagery of stores here on the site our bread and butter will always be menswear. Yet saying this we're not ones to disregard the other beautiful lifestyle shops, like March Pantry in San Francisco for example which we're taking a look inside today. I came across their
Joseph Foglia Designs Studio
I came across this terrific design studio named Joseph Foglia Designs that offers a wide array of design and construction solutions, mainly focusing on commercial and residential renovations within New York City. From what I picked up their work is based around the overall concept, the fabrication a
