Preserving the Authenticity of the Eames Furniture by Eames Demetrios
Although we've mainly been discovering craftsman and artists lately we're definitely not looking past the fact that we enjoy various designers who have designed items that are currently being mass produced. In fact, my office bookshelf is littered with hoards of books from the likes of Jasper Morris
The Moulthrop Family of Woodturners
I thought we’d look into the life of the Moulthrop family today as I watched this wonderful documentary last night run by PBS titled Craft in America which was deeply inspiring. The Craft in America series has been running for quite a while, but as a European citizen we don’t really hear too muc
Freunde von Freunden interview Ole Martin Hansen
With all eyes on London as the Olympic games progress it looks like Freunde von Freunden thought it was the perfect moment to showcase some creative talent from the English capital, so today we visit the work of a young Norwegian who runs his own smokehouse in Stoke Newington. Staying true to four g
An Interview with Toshiko Takaezu by D.B.Long
Now I know this film is slightly old but I thought it would be a great piece for all of you watch today, I haven’t seen it before and the views seem surprisingly low so I’m guessing others haven’t either. It’s a short interview produced by D.B.Long with ceramic artist Toshiko Takaezu, someon
Made Here Series: Folk Fibers
The Levi’s Made Here series is a project we’ve highlighted in the past yet until today I hadn’t noticed any further developments. I’m glad they’ve come through with another short film however as we get introduced to the talented Maura Ambrose who is responsible for Folk Fibers, a company s
Film on Danish Potter: Anne Mette Hjortshøj
It's time to put the kettle on and get a little comfortable in your chair as this project, much like the art of pottery, isn't for those in a hurry. If you do have spare time on your hands and an avid interest in seeing individuals create one of a kind objects however then you're in for a real treat
Short film on Ron Radziner and his home
I've been doing a little internet digging and I've come across this short film on the principal designer at Marmol Radziner which provides further context into the design of his own home. I was delighted to find this project as there doesn't seem to be an abundance of films online featuring modern a
Tekio by Anthony Dickens
We now move our attention towards an English based designer who has undertaken a project influenced by the design style of Japan, so something that feels quite at home in our archive. Given our admiration for the Japanese style we can be rather predictable with our content sometimes, although we hav
Tableware by Sue Paraskeva
Here you can see some beautiful creations by Sue Paraskeva, a potter and artist who's situated in the Isle of Wight. I originally came across her a couple of months ago on Vimeo but I decided not to bring the video onto the blog because it had a crazy amount of views and I didn't want to regurgitate
Short film on the influences of Steve Reich
It's pretty rare that I do this but the first film I came across today is the one I'm sharing with you all, as I doubt I would have been able to find better. I say this because the piece documents the influences of one of the greatest American composers of our time, and even if you're not that knowl
Short Film on Photographer: Mikael Kennedy
This is a bit of a short project by all accounts but I really resonated with the individual the film was based on, so hopefully a few of you do also, being fellow creative minds and all. The film basically speaks of Mikael Kennedy's realisation of becoming a professional photographer in New York cit
Sarjaton by Iittala
I was pleased this afternoon when I came across the video that can be seen below produced by Iittala, originally a glass factory in Finland but they now make all sorts of objects to "enrich people's everyday lives". You may know them for one particular collaboration that took place with Alvar Aalto,
