The Birth of Saké, A Film by Erik Shirai
Usually I have my finger on the pulse, but this time I let it slip a little. Saying that, I never shy away from the chance to learn more about a subject and soak up all the information like a sponge, hopefully you’ll take away something from this piece as well. I came across a project that had rec
One Shot. One Life. by Empty Mind Films
I try to bring you a mixture of content here on the website, things that are slightly offbeat for our specific theme, but have an interesting story/concept. I especially enjoy ideas that can be pulled across as inspiration, this post today takes on a spiritual vibe but I feel it can be applied to de
Neutra Boomerang Chair by VS America
There’s a certain list of designers that I’m always on the lookout for, usually news or information regarding their work, so this chair by Richard Neutra was definitely worthy of a showcase.
Handcrafted Ceramic Work by Lubna Chowdhary
Sometimes I get all the credit when finding content for the blog, most of the time they’re all my own findings, but on certain occasions I get help from collaborators and those that email in submissions. Not just from creatives and designers that want me to showcase their own work, sometimes even
Japanese Glassware by Shotoku Glass Co.
Apologies to all of you who have been looking for good video content. I have come across a few short films on my travels but they’ve not really ticked all the right boxes. Some were in a foreign language, which doesn’t really help in terms of inspiration, well unless the imagery is absolutely su
The Detailers: Boat Builder Robert Darr
It’s funny how unusual collaborations lead to the creation of such interesting work. I guess over the past few years we’ve seen a heavy rush in content relating to the craft and design field, mainly focusing on makers and craftsmen. One particular field that’s used their talent to good effect
DISCIPLINE – Living With Mario Bellini
I’m always on the lookout for a series that can inspire me on a more consistent basis, today’s post features world renowned Italian architect and designer Mario Bellini. The short film was produced for Discipline who are a new brand that I’ve not come across before, but they seem to be promoti
Wood Fired Pottery by Hannah Lawrence
Yesterday at the pottery studio I was determined to make a teapot, so I had the studio owner throw the main body for me on the wheel to show the general process and how one can be formed. Like anything new, my first set of attempts were extremely poor, and I couldn't quite grasp what I was actually
Richard Meier 2013 Architizer A+ Lifetime Achievement Award
Richard Meier seems to have cropped up a lot lately on the web, if you've been checking our twitter or facebook page you may have seen me linking to articles discussing his work and achievements. Lets face it, Richard is a master when it comes to architecture, he's spent over 50 years dedicating his
620 Chair Programme, Adapt and Change by Vitsoe
Anything Dieter Rams is sure to captivate me, I'm constantly reminded of his design ethos thanks to a poster on my office wall referencing the famous 'ten principles for good design'. It's been a bit of a godsend when facing certain design tasks, I can always look back at that and get a few visualis
Hans J. Wegner Short Films by BlackBird for Carl Hansen & Son
Next week I think I’ll get myself down to The Midcentury Show taking place at Lords in London. It wil be my first time but I’m looking forward to seeing some nice furniture and other goods up-close, preferably the classics that have aged well and have stayed modern over the years. To me it’s a
The Shape that Moves by Iittala
I realised earlier that I've had a little hiatus from any films or videos on the blog, which is a shame really as one of my favourite things about the internet is short films made by fellow creatives, you can always find inspiration that you'd of never seen otherwise. Unfortunately, pictures don't q
