Today is Fieldwork's first birthday! It's exciting to think that I've been blogging for a year and I want to say thanks for reading.Regular readers may know that Fieldwork gets updated at the start of each month but today I've decided I'd like to post a little more frequently. You'll still get the same amount of content but it will mean that I won't be leaving it till the end of each month to throw together a dozen or so posts. I've also got a few ideas I'm excited about trying out on here and I reckon you'll like what I have in store. Happy Birthday Fieldwork and thanks everyone for...

As mentioned below, on Monday I attended part of GradCAM's weeklong symposium, Arts Research: Publics and Purposes. Specifically, I attended their afternoon session on design research, entitled Sketches, Schemes, Subjects. Early on in the symposium we heard from Ré Dubhthaigh of London-based consultancy Radarstation, Dr.Gearóid O'Conchubhair of NCAD and Cearbhall O'Meadhra, research fellow at NCAD. Later that evening was a screening of some Eames and Eames-related films. If you're not familiar, Charles and Ray Eames were two of America's most iconic designers, as well as architects and filmmakers. If you're a regular reader of interiors blogs, you'll notice a common fondness among them for the Eames rocking chair, but I have to say, I'm much more of a Lounge Chair and Ottoman kinda girl...

After working in this particular industry i found that many people love this piece of eclectic furniture. It’s a lovely splash of fun that adds so much character to any home. for some it may be on the expensive side as it is a timeless piece by Charles & Ray Eames. Now i dont really like seeing people buy knock offs, but you can get something very similar in the new Arnotts in Jervis shopping centre along with a magazine rack to match, so its great to get great looking furniture at the price we can affford in this current climate…happy shopping

‘Tis no secret that I love the furniture of Charles & Ray Eames, but possibly their most iconic design, the Eames lounger & ottoman, has always been something that I’ve never been a big fan of. After happening upon the above plaid-upholstered one though and thinking it looked rather spiffy, I started looking around for more Eames loungers to love and found these… ABOVE: The chair and ottoman in the home of Charles & Ray EamesABOVE: Chair and ottoman against backdrop of Cole & Son "Woods" wallpaper In the home of actress Jennifer Carpenter via O at Home...
