FUTURE PAST – Antiques & Objects Explored by Ryosuke Harashima

There is something about a handwoven rug that goes beyond its physical appearance. Every element makes up a bigger picture and a story is told through each fibre. Beni’s handwoven rugs combine the old with the new. Like traditional rugs, they have an earthy element and an apparent sense of cra

Window to the Soul – Ceramic Vases by Artist Eric Roinestad

Metsa Spring Summer 2013 Collection

Working on the internet in the way that we do from time to time you can reach the point where you get a little frustrated scrolling through reams and reams of uninspiring projects. We like to keep the site pretty niche and we know what we like so in many respects we can’t really complain. It’s j
