Omer Arbel for Bocci Short Film
The good folks over at Style Park have kindly put together this delightful short film which summarises the process that glass blower Omer Abel undertakes when creating these beautiful bespoke lights for Canadian Design collective Bocci. Although this is pretty brief it’s packed full of creative in
Schoolhouse Electric & Supply Co.
A nice film by Schoolhouse Electric & Supply Co, a company who looks to sell practical and aesthetically pleasing products for the home and office space. Founded by Brian Faherty, the idea was spawned after he discovered a collection of antique cast iron moulds that had been out of production for ov
Printmaking with Keegan Meegan
We all like seeing prints being made, it's a real fun creative process and although I've seen this type of project a million times over I'm yet to get bored of seeing these industrious presses in full flow. They are just mesmerising contraptions evolved from the basic design that Johannes Gutenberg
Fields of White by Pat Shannahan
The majority of us wear more than one cotton based garment each day, however there are very few of us that actually know what goes into creating it. Photographer turned filmmaker Pat Shannahan visited one of Arizona's cotton growing farmers, the Wuertz's family, a little over a year back now but for
ColsenKeane Leather Goods
I found this inspiring video on leather goods company ColsenKeane, definitely worth viewing on this bright but wet Friday morning here in England. Founder Scott Hofert takes us into his workshop and his daily job, showing us what it's like to be in their workshop cutting the leather and stitching to
Dieter Rams at SFMOMA
This isn't the first time that we've written about Dieter Rams and his work and it probably won't be the last either. I came across this short video piece directed by Nathan Cozzolino and edited/scored by Andrew Birchett for Dwell magazine. Dwell is becoming a place that I check on a regular basis f
Design Within Reach Presents : John Kostick
I've really enjoyed the short films that Design Within Reach have been creating so I think it's about time we brought something across from the good folks over there. Today they're introducing us to designer John Kostick who created his collapsable sculptures back in 1965, which are so simplistic an
Inspired By Series from Shwood Eyewear
Lots of different brands seem to be jumping on the bandwagon, connecting with creatives that inspire them in the hope it will empower those ever so important customers. Personally I think it's great to see, when we promote creative industries I'd like to believe that everyone involved in that specif
Further Film from the Movember Craft and Pride Series
Things seem pretty dry on the craftsmanship front so I’m going to head back to the craft and pride series to supplement the rest of today’s content. Created in aid of Movember, this year the Urchin Associates have visited various creative types with their film crew for a diverse range of storyte
Khoi Vinh, On the Grid
I've been studying the grid for quite a while now, at first I thought it was just relative to the web design field but as time's gone by I've found it's taken on a role not only in my design self but also in my lifestyle choices. Whether it be art, ceramics, film, or even clothing, I'm intrigued to
OFFF 2011, Let’s Feed The Future Short Teaser
If you’re returning to the site, I’m guessing you’re a fan of craft. So once again lets return to some more in the form of another wonderful film this time from OFFF who organise some fantastic events, in fact I really hope that they hit London soon. Each event that takes place they come throu
Movember 2011 Craft and Pride Series
So as you know, we've finally breached over into the month of November, which also doubles as my birthday, I swear time just moves on so quickly. I can never keep track of it. You may of heard about this 'Movember' campaign and have wondered what it's all about, well it's basically a global moustach
