Unto This Lust… i mean Last!

FrontCover5%20-i%20T4jpg

For those of you that are unfamiliar with the furniture design workshop Unto This Last, their purpose is to offer you the convenience of the local craftsman workshop at mass-production prices.

They design along a single principle; less dependence on heavy industrial processes, more use of innovative digital tools adapted to the small workshop.

All their furniture is made from a special birch ply composite and they have an ever increasing catalogue with more than 200 cleverly designed pieces to choose from.

Unfortunately they only deliver to London to help save on packaging cost but if you are ever in the area I highly recommend going down to see their workshop in action.

Now this what I call a work of art….

“When Charlie Kratzer started on the basement art project in his south Lexington home, he was surrounded by walls painted a classic cream. Ten dollars of Magic Marker and Sharpie later, the place was black and cream and drawn all over.”

Video – In Residence, Antoni & Alison, London

Half of fashion duo Antoni & Alison, Antoni Burakowski shows the same eclectic wit at home as he does at work.

May take a while to download but really worth the wait. I would recommend pausing it just as it starts then coming back to it after a minute or two.

I love the Lichtenstein plate on the wall and the retro styled bathroom in particular is stunning!
