Viaduct in London will be showcasing the work of Ferdinand Kramer, without a doubt regarded as one of the most significant architects and designers from the early period of modernism and post-war modernism.

Ferdinand Kramer’s furniture was originally designed between 1925 and 1959 and his progressive and enduring designs were considered pioneering. His famous “Knock-Down” series was the fore-runner to today’s flat-pack furniture. From daybeds to side tables, from coat racks to chairs; solid wood and woven leather combine with neutrals and contemporary brights to create an original and inspiring environment in Viaduct’s dedicated gallery space.

Bou-Taoshi is a game. The rules are simple. Players make a heap of sand and place a branch in the centre, then each player takes turns removing sand, the one who causes the branch to fall loses.

“Sand” is a reflection of this research and is a primitive form for a Japanese flower.

Not sure what this is, or who it is by. But I like it.

It was lovely to finally and unexpectedly meet Felix McCormack at the supermarket check-out last night - his work was the highlight of the Falmouth degree shows for me in 2011.

Fortunately he was carrying a small booklet of his most recent work from ‘One Year On’ were he presents the beautifully crafted ‘Spargo’ light.

We visited iconic architect Balkristna Doshi’s Office - Sangath in Ahmedabad, India - back in 2009. It is such an incredible space for creative minds but we were sadly not allowed to take photos.

Having just had a thorough rummage through the wonderful Edmund Sumner’s website I was delighted to come across a fantastic set of photos that he has taken at the offices.

Ahmedabad, India.

CURIOUS, a desk light by Caroline Olsson, can be used for both work and pleasure. It can be opened up to make it brighter or folded down, where the light will shine through an opening in the wood. A space saving object, both in form and function. The inspiration for this product comes from old wooden pencil cases.

Materials: Birch and spray painted aluminum.
Dimensions (box): Height 7 cm, length 25 cm.
Light: LED 2700K.

Looking for a manufacturer. (Go on someone, please make this it is truly original and beautiful!)

I always dream of getting big projects - but in reality you can do so much more with smaller ones with modest budgets.
