Furniture Design by Michael Robbins
Michael handcrafts each piece of furniture in an old barn in the Hudson Valley of New York. Not surprisingly he's heavily inspired by Hans J Wegner, which probably accounts for the traditional looking aesthetic.
Furniture, Sculpture and Mobiles by Faye Toogood
My exploration in to furniture design hasn't just stopped at this site, I've purchased many books and have also been jotting down a mixture of ideas on paper that could come in handy in the future. Although I feel like I have some good ideas, also some amazing inspiration in the back of my brain, I
Furniture from the Elijah Leed Studio
I bumped in to the studio of Elijah Leed last week and I was pleasently surprised with my findings, as initially I didn't set out to discover a furniture designer of any sort. So it was not only great to see some simplistic forms, I also liked the idea that all of these were made out of reclaimed ma

The Tables of Carlo Scarpa
Today I thought I'd bring across some stark looking design for all of you to admire. This furniture by Carlo Scarpa is sure to hold well against the cold weather that we're experiencing here in the UK, and it was the perfect remedy for me over the weekend. I decided to sit through a short film early
Plywood Furniture in the Marcel Breuer Archive
Mr Breuer isn’t exactly a stranger to our archive, these modernist designers always seem to crop up again and again with their classic timeless designs, ones that I’m extremely envious of. Take for example these plywood furniture pieces by Marcel sourced from his ever growing digital archive, it
Furniture and Detail Shots by Pastoe
Pastoe are quite unique in my opinion, in fact I’ve written about them before when I highlighted the sm05 chair by Cees Braakman, but I’ve not really gone into much depth regarding their history and how this played a part in the furniture world. It all began in 1913 when businessman Frits Loeb d
Stools, Sculpture and Objects by Alma Allen
Alma's been a massive inspiration for both of us here recently, somehow he's not featured on the site but today I've finally got round to putting together some nice imagery of his work and hopefully this small article will sum up what's behind his pieces and how he creates these fantastic sculptures
A Selection of Furniture from Mid Mod Design
Desk designed by Cees Braakman for Pastoe in 1958. Well before I’ve even started writing this post I’ve lied, in the title it says this furniture is all from the Mid Mod Design website when actually it’s a mixture of two sites, Mid Mod Design and Mass Modern Design. But since both of these sit

A Mixture of Furniture Works by Jean Prouvé
Last night I went on a bit of a knowledge jaunt and sent myself back in time to find out about previous designers, philosophers and thinkers, something I've found myself doing more and more of over the past year. My library of design books is slowly reaching the realms of uncontrollable, but I can't
Maruni Autumn 2011 Furniture Collection and Project Interior Shots
This morning I decided to bring across some imagery from furniture company Maruni’s website, my last post on the Maruni Collection by Naoto Fukasawa in early 2011 was very popular but this one offers up something different. It’s a selection from the website’s catalogue for Autumn 2011, basical
