Golden Arber Sculpture by Harry Bertoia at the 510 Fifth Ave Building
This morning I was diligently researching Harry Bertoia, mainly reading more into his life story and his works. I read on the Harry Bertoia blog that his daughter Celia, who also runs the Harry Bertoia website, had recently set up a Facebook page to house information on up and coming events involvin
Vitra FICTION “Remind Me” by Florian Böhm
Vitra recently released this short film directed by Florian Böhm and is titled "Remind Me". It's the first from a series of videos named "Fiction" which looks to tell domestic stories that could have happened to any of us. It shows how these much prized pieces of furniture either drives an action f
Short Film on Jake Burger & David A. Smith by Boat Studios
Entitled a tale of two craftsman this short film investigates the story of two individuals who base themselves in London and hold a torch to two different creative yet niche trades in the English capital. The filmmaker Miles Langley introduces us initially to Jake Burger of the Ginstitute in Portobe
Short Film on Archer by Dylan Ryan Byrne
We love the art of craftsmanship here which of course comes in various different shapes and sizes. I know many of you have enjoyed the ceramics and furniture we've shared in the past but today I thought we'd showcase something a little different in the form of an archer/traditional bow maker. Filmm
Short Film on Sean Woolsey
I felt like sticking with a little more craft today after sharing Sebastian Cox's work yesterday, so I pencilled in this great short film which explores the talents of craftsman, maker and artist Sean Woolsley. This project has been put together by the good folks over at process creative who you may
Van Diemen’s Land Short Film by Rapha
We've got a lot of respect for Rapha and I'd like to share them a lot more often than we actually do, I just hate the tug of war that their popularity brings. They deserve their success and it's great to see the new projects that surface frequently, they are always fantastically filmed and are the p
Beyond the Gardens Series by Lonelyleap
I've just realised that I've not found or wrote about any good films lately, which is shame because we've showcased so many terrific independent filmmakers over the years. To break my streak I'm bringing forward this video series that I came across yesterday which I thought was something quite speci
Short Film on Sculptor Lance Dooley
Late last night I really enjoyed watching this filmed piece which introduces American artist and sculptor Lance Dooley, so I promised myself that come the morning I would return to it and share this with everyone here. The artist himself is somewhat of a traveller and you can tell this has had a mas
Kinfolk Dinner – Brooklyn, New York Short Film
I really love what Kinfolk do and the way they go about things which is why I almost feel obliged to share their work when they create things. I guess I feel by doing so not only am I believing in what they put out there but also everyone that is involved in each project too, because they really see
Short Film on Kutani Choemon Ceramics
We do tend to bombard you all with pottery here, but for this I can’t apologise as I’m about to share some again, as we visit the studio of Kutani Choemon who have been operating in Japan since 1879 would you believe. I found it really incredible that the current owner Kentaro Kamide is the four
Short Film by Yuki Kokubo
I don't know if anyone else finds this but Friday always seems to be quite a reflective day for me, a chance to look back on the weeks work and reestablish where things are going for the next week ahead. So being Friday I thought I'd bring across a little documentary style film which is quite reflec
Short Film by Rolf Nylinder
I thought I'd throw a curve ball into the mix, as creative inspiration can come in many different shapes, sizes and forms. "Trout is all", a short film by Rolf Nylinder, is a light hearted creation which reminds us all that taking a moment to reflect and relax upon a situation is sometimes exactly w
