Interiors and Furniture at sdr+ (System Furniture Dieter Rams)
It’s always been a dream of mine to own the 606 shelving system by Dieter Rams, so today’s post is partly about that, although I covered my fascination with it more extensively in a previous post, but also because some recent news has come about. Vitsoe have just announced that as of 1 January 2
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
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
Strick house by Oscar Niemeyer
Time for some more modernist architecture I think. I've been on the browse since wednesday when we highlighted Marion Berrin's collection of Le Corbusier photos and luckily this morning I came across another beautiful build, this time by Oscar Niemeyer. I say architecture, and of course it is, becau
Marion Berrin photographs Le Corbusier’s La Radieuse
Today I've been around the houses in search for content, as my first preference is always to try and find a short film as I feel that these best convey a project, especially if they involve some kind of interview with the creative minds behind each. A handful of topics however, like architecture for
Le Corbusier in The Art of Architecture
If in doubt it's always wise to return to those tried, tested and accomplished I've always found, so with this in mind I'd like to turn everyones attention to one of the most marvellous modernist minds, yes you guessed it, Charles-Édouard Jeanneret or as he's more affectionately known Le Corbusier.
Residential Series from The Andrew Geller Architectural Archive
We like unconventional thinkers here, the ones who think differently, who see possibility and disregard limitation. Mid-century architect Andrew Michael Geller fits snugly into this bracket with his experimental approach to architecture, having helped shape what we perceive mid-century modern archit
Constantin Brancusi, Artist and Sculptor
Wow, this is why I love writing on this website, it's an amazing tool for us to research individuals that we admire and that fascinate us. Today I've taken the jump and have decided to talk about an amazing artist that goes by the name of Constantin Brancusi. I was led to his work by the one and onl
Boiacca Table by LucidiPevere
As a man that's not particularly fond of so called 'cold' objects this particular project that I'm showcasing today was up in the air for a while. I'll explain why as we go on but I have to admit recently I've been drawn to items with more substance and character rather than strict minimalism, I thi
Richard Baker, Portraits of Modernist Furniture
I was blown away this week by Richard Baker's fantastic paintings of modernist furniture, it was a no brainer to showcase them here for all to see. I think this is a classic example of where two disciplines that I'm really fond of come to meet and work really well together, on one hand it's superb t
Visual Acoustics, The Modernism of Julius Shulman
So this is quite a tough post to write really, I'm not sure where to start. I've been on and off writing about furniture and such over the past few weeks but this particular one is more about a film and someones work, it was all inspired thanks to an interview I came across last night. The specific
Martin Visser, Exhibition of 1960’s Dutch Modernist Furniture at Rocket Gallery
Rocket Gallery in London recently opened an exhibition dedicated to the one and only Martin Visser, the dutch designer who from the late 1950's to early 1970's was Head of Design at ‘t Spectrum. He actually acquired the company during the 1960's which I guess shows just how dedicated he was to the
