Famous for so many reasons both positive and negative, Woody Allen is one of the world’s most famous men.  Love him or hate him, there are undeniable facts about Mr Allen that can’t be ignored. The most basic of which is that he makes quality motion picture. Woody’s voyage of self discovery through film has taken us from 1966 to the...

There’s something uniquely exceptional about the musicals of MGM, an era of film which provided the world with music, colour and escapism from the realities of a post-war world.  The world was looking forward and the future looked brighter and these films carried us (some of us, that is) with them.  Gene Kelly summed it up perfectly: MGM's dream factory...

If there’s a film quote which could sum up this entry, it could only be from ‘Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery’.  It goes like this: ...the kind of insane that only the genius possess and the insane lament. With the above paragraph as a premise, we are unsure where Yoshiro Nakamatsu a.k.a. Dr NakaMats fits into that scale.  Wherever he...

The surprise that is involved in the exclamation of “what a small world!” seems to be inconsequential these days.  Saying it in the design world seems to be almost redundant, our circle isn’t so large, and it’s most certainly not as large as we often tend to think. Noé Duchaufour-Lawrence, multi-faceted designer whose client list reads like a who’s who...

In 1960 a film was made called “The World of Suzie Wong”.  The plot of this post is about the Suzy Wong of our world.  We’re unsure whether Suzie and Suzy are connected, they most likely aren’t. Our Suzy Wong has found herself in the Kenneth Cobonpue catalogue.  This isn’t an easy achievement for anybody.  To get this done however...

Air and Power.  We know them well, not like this however.  Welcome to LZF’s lighting adventure, Air. Designed by Ray Power for LZF (pictured above), Air is made of a single Polywood sheet, bent to its exciting and engaging shape and held in its graceful profile.  Falling into the LZF family of experimentation with form, Air is packed with fluidity...

KE-ZU stockist Vondom offers new style in sensory experience of shape, texture and form through materiality. Each year Vondom showcases their innovative range at Feria Habitat Valencia in Spain and celebrates by throwing arguably Valencia Design Fair’s most exclusive, invitation only party (of which our fearless Director attended last year). Again Vondom took to Torres de Serranos, one of twelve...

We were fortunate (or unfortunate, as it may be) to stumble upon the “Del Popolo” – a feat in industrial and mechanical design which has won our eye, and our stomachs. Artfully designed in the U.S. by Jon Darsky with McLellan Industries – the Del Popolo is possibly the worlds coolest food van, cruising up and down the San...
