Neil Jolliffe

 

I am mad busy at the moment and struggling to post much so i suggest you have a good look around a friend of mine's site instaed. Neil Jolliffe is hard to pigeonhole, a dynamic, eclectic designer,  an avid reclaimer and recycler but who can also show restraint, as the new pieces for Madlab show. Check out some nice inspiration links on his site too, and i will keep you up to date with his amazing sounding new workshop as it develops. (Good to see some work online Neil, and very nice to see you the other week. x)

I will be back posting in a week or so.

Hotel Lounge Bookcases

First design thoughts for a potential upcoming project.

RMK Design

You'll know i like a bit of low tech, and it does not get any more stripped back than RMK Design's DIY Lamps.

Young & Norgate

Wellington Chair

Another Country

Some simple, honest furniture to balance the last post. Another Country manage to imbue some good personality into these pieces. Strong and friendly.

Postler Ferguson

PostlerFerguson investigate ideas of object and context, in a serious way. There is an intellectual understanding coupled with a thoroughness in detailing here which makes these objects really work. The construction and scale of the Buoys is absolutely perfect, and the affect of having one of these very slightly rocking in the corner of the room must be serene/absurd/unnerving, depending on the viewers mood.
The Paper AK47 is highly convincing technically,  plays on the toy gun idea but the light weight also gives another physical dimension. And way the paper is left white exaggerates the detailing, giving the most fear inducing, (and most produced weapon ever), an almost porcelain feel. Like the ghost of an original weapon.
