Starting Five: Design Objects [March]
Objects to Inspire Your Creative Space
While we continue to spend more and more time in our homes - we have quickly adapted to new modes of working. In particular this has meant developing new creative home offices. These spaces we spend our time in should be a constant source of inspiration and the objects that we surround ourselves with play a key role.
Having well designed tools can improve your creative productivity. Whether it is for functional efficiency or one of personal comfort, these objects often become constant companions in our daily work flows.
Here’s a little selection of design driven objects that we have found inspiring during our design process - 5 everyday objects for your creative space at home.
Millisecond
Takeda Design Project
Millisecond is an aluminium metal measure with an anti-bacterial glass fibre tape. When the tape is pulled out, a stopper holds it in place; by pressing the button in the middle the tape can be re-collected. There are 2 holes on the frame of the product, where users can wear the product in various styles by applying a neck strap or keyring. The body is carved out of aluminium, it's round shape and smooth surface fitting comfortably in your hand.
Takeda is a company that produces desk accessories based in Tsubame-Sanjyo, Niigata, one of the main cities in Japan specialised in metalworking.

Aluminium Chair EA 107
Charles and Ray Eames for Vitra
The Aluminium Chair is one of the great furniture designs of the twentieth century. For its construction, Charles & Ray Eames departed from the principle of the seat shell, instead stretching a panel of leather between two aluminium side members to create a taut seat. The chair adapts to the body of the sitter and is exceedingly comfortable, even without elaborate upholstery.
Charles and Ray Eames are counted among the most important figures within the design world. Their work spans the fields of furniture, filmmaking, photography and exhibition design.
