Marcel Breuer – Design and Architecture
After receiving a few new books in the shop I decided to highlight one in-particular, that being a new publication by Vitra Design Museum titled ‘Marcel Breuer – Design and Architecture’. It’s a book that I highly anticipated myself as a lot of Marcel’s architecture has gone slightly unnot
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
HAL Chair by Jasper Morrison
Although we generally tend to touch up mid-century style designers here I'm also a big admirer of designers like Jasper Morrison, Naoto Fukasawa, Dieter Rams and other industrial designers who are a bit more current and that are still working today. Naoto for example has a tendency to keep things si
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 the Aluminium Chair by Charles & Ray Eames

Like most of the creatives that I look up to he tended to cross through different areas, whether it be a graphic artist, an architect,
“Hang-It-All” Coat Rack by Charles and Ray Eames
The “Hang-it-all” coat rack by Charles and Ray Eames is in my eyes a genius piece of design. For one it’s playful and lighthearted, and two it serves it’s function well, to hang coats, hats and garments. But there’s a bigger concept and philosophy at play, these simple hooks and brightly-c
Case Study Imagery by Vitra Design
This morning I enjoyed having a browse through the Vitra website which always showcases some great furniture, I think they're one of the better websites to have a look at and they seem to take great care over their web presence. Obviously inspiration isn't always readily available on these more corp
Alvar Aalto Vases
I’ve become quite spontaneous with my posts here on the site, I used to use this space as a place to showcase random bits and bobs with no direct meaning but as time’s passed my taste has become much for refined and the direction of this website has become a lot clearer. I guess I want to offer
