Circular Ceramic Sculptures by Matthew Chambers
Pottery and ceramics is a frequent subject at the moment on the blog, for some unknown reason we both seem to be bumping into a lot of great stuff in this department. Today I came across the work of Matthew Chambers, although I have to warn you before we start, or as you've probably noticed already,
Bruno Munari, The Man and his ‘Useless Machines’
If you’re a designer of any sort you’ve probably come across or have even read a book titled ‘Design as Art’, written by Bruno Munari. I purchased this book many years ago now and his thoughts and words have stayed with me, in fact it’s still sitting on my shelf today and I often refer bac
Short Film on Sculptor James Doran-Webb
At the risk of overloading you all with projects centred around wooden construction I unearthed this short film on British sculptor James Doran-Webb earlier this morning that completely blew me away.

Sculptures by Erik Thommesen
It seems like I've been unleashed into a furniture frenzy lately so when I came across these sculptures by the great artist that is Erik Thommesen I had to fit them into the schedule somewhere.

Mario Dal Fabbro Sculptures
I have to say, when I came across these sculptures by designer, writer, craftsman and sculptor Mario Dal Fabbro they really did blow me away, I took an instant liking to them. I also enjoyed the imagery and close-up details, all of which were taken by Maison Gerard where they’ll be holding an exhi
Sculptures by Kevin Francis Gray
Some amazing sculpture work by Kevin Francis Gray, who lives and works in London. This really did blow we away when i saw it, i was amazed by the intricacy and detailing on each object. For example, the piece where two cloaked sculptures are facing each other is titled ‘Face Off’. This p
Sculptures by Jared Pankin
I just came across this great sculptor called Jared Pankin, whose work shown here was exhibited at the Carl Berg Gallery. The basis of his work involves tiny chipped pieces of wood, in which he creates and builds fantasies from. These then come to life by mixing in worldly objects, seen here is main
