Leslie Williamson Photographs Constantin Brancusi’s Atelier
I better insert a spoiler alert before we begin today as I've once again raided the blog of photographer Leslie Williamson as she puts together the second edition of her handcrafted modern book. Now I really hope I'm not revealing too much that is to reach the final publication, I'm assuming these a
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
Furniture, Objects and Imagery from Gallery Utopie
Here's some fantastic imagery that I picked up thanks to Gallery Utopie (or Utopia in English) who sells and showcases different art/design pieces, the chairs in-particular seem to be quite a focal point. What I like about these guys is that they've got an individual taste and it definitely sets the
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
Serge Mouille, Lighting Designer
As I was perusing through the usual subjects of mid-century design I stumbled across the ever so fantastic Serge Mouille, who seems to have had a recent web design update.

HAL Chair by Jasper Morrison
Although we generally tend to touch up mid-century style designers here I'm also a big admirer of designers like Jasper Morrison, Naoto Fukasawa, Dieter Rams and other industrial designers who are a bit more current and that are still working today. Naoto for example has a tendency to keep things si
Mobiles, Stabiles and Sculptures by Alexander Calder
In my article on CY Twombly a few weeks back I promised that I’d explore the works of Alexander Calder sometime in the near future. That day is today, I’m going to shed some thoughts on the individual, why he inspired me and also use this post to present some wonderful works that he’s created
La Mer de Pianos by Tom Wrigglesworth and Mathieu Cuvelier
It’s not often that both me and Daniel get to sit down and watch a creative video together in the office, usually we’re sitting on separate desks and are focused on our own work but since we’ve been on a late night slog working towards the opening of the shop tonight we were lucky to see a fil
Astier de Villatte Collections by Studio Homme
Studio Homme give us a nice guided tour through various creative workshops in Paris for their exclusive online launch of the Astier de Villatte collections, a series of collaborative works with different designers.

Open Your Eyes By Camille Marotte
French filmmaker Camille Marotte reminds us it’s the summer season in this short creative film he has recently created which has been titled “open your eyes”. Camille obviously wants the viewer to pay attention to the finer details of life and this is exactly what this project does
FrenchTrotters Portrait #01 Carole
Parisian store FrenchTrotters have been working on a short video series titled “Portrait” which looks at people in their daily environments. This first one features Carole Dehlouz, one part of the FrenchTrotters duo, and shows her kicking back in her flat and tending to the nice array of
Personal Work by Julie Lansom
Here’s a small collection of imagery by Paris based photographer Julie Lansom. The ones that I’ve selected here come under her ‘Personal Work’, basically random shots from different months in the year. This young lady (23 years old to be exact) is a great talent at collecting
