Furniture by Australian Designer Henry Wilson
Modular and handmade furniture seems to be work that I’m drawn to, I can’t pinpoint exactly why, but a few ideas came to mind the other day when I was thinking about the furniture that I personally own. Firstly, as a designer myself, I tend to prefer or remember the prototypes rather more vividl
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
Branca by Marco Sousa Santos
It’s always inspiring to see creatives starting new companies, especially in this climate where a lot of businesses are floundering. One thing that’s great about creativity is that it doesn’t cost you anything, as long as you have a passion for something you can make a go of it and come up wit
Wooden Cutlery by atelier TREE SONG
iichi has turned out to be a fantastic resource, I find myself searching through different craftsmen and makers on a regular basis. If you don't already know, it's a bit like the Japanese version of Etsy or Folksy, so you have all these different creatives selling their work online. Last time I pres
Vessels by Woodturner Bill Luce
I'm sure you'll agree that it's quite obvious to see a makers inspirations straight off the bat.

Brace by Designer and Craftsman Louie Rigano
One thing I've been pretty chuffed with lately is a new addition to the office space, a Vitsoe 606 universal shelving system. As you can imagine, when assembling it made me think about flat pack furniture and why there's not many high quality systems out there in the market. For example, you'll ofte
Furniture Design by Mikiya Kobayashi
Wow, what an exciting array of product and furniture design by Tokyo born creative Mikiya Kobayashi. I stumbled in to his work via the chii furniture website, and I admired his simplistic approach to seating solutions, often using only necessary elements with not much adornment. Obviously, one thing
