home: featured [ The Den & Now ]

Founded in Chester by Charlie Beebee, The Den & Now offers an eclectic mix of furniture and accessories for the home, everything from one-off vintage finds and reclaimed items, to more contemporary pieces.
There is a great selection as you work your way through the online shop. Our favourites include the varied storage and the fab lighting.
A nice touch to the website is not only being able to navigate through via product, but also by style, amongst others Industrial Living, Retro Revival and Scandinavian. This helps you get inspiration and see which pieces work well together.

home: daily [ the Eames exhibition ]

Not long left to catch this incredibly collated exhibition celebrating the ‘World of Charles and Ray Eames’ 

 

Open til Valentines Day, at The Barbican, London, the exhibition is a delight of visual and written knowledge for any design, furniture and graphic design fans. Travel through the decades and learn what inspired the creative couple, learn their history, beginnings and the sweetness of how they got together. 

  
The Eameses are amongst the most celebrate designers of the twentieth century and so many of their creations influence designs of today. So many of their iconic designs have been reproduced and copied in modern homeware and furniture today, and are also still produced with the original designs. 

  
The Eames Office, at the centre of their product and graphics ideas world, was the hub where the magic happened. The couple and the office team produced incredible work for 45 years. It was a ‘laboratory’, a place for collaborating, researching and developing ‘products, furniture, graphics, architectural and exhibition projects, as well as new models for education.’

Their work covered print media, film, photography and more. Design work  covered projects for furniture, homes, and they embraced both mass production and common materials as well as embracing the potential of technology. 

As you head through the space, appreciate their extensive talent and abilities, you can slip into the couple’s world and minds, and understand that life was work, and work was life. 

Running til February 14th it’s definitely worth the £14.50 entrance fee. The shop is a post-exhibition tempting delight, with a variety of homewares, stationery, prints and cards.
