Favourite designers?

[Dokkodo]

Hello, i'm after some general design-y inspiration. I saw a mention of Hank Gilpin a while ago and have been looking through his website, and Custard's mention of modern designers using native timbers in "How to By Hardwoods"... Found it all quite inspiring and want to see more, I guess I should sign up to some magazines but I cant afford it at the mo and anyway the internet must have it all. Anything from abstract and arty to modern slick furniture, much appreciated :idea:

I think Sam Maloof would probably be my favourite; love the curves.

Finn Juhl seems to be fashionable again -

The Gordon Russell museum is well worth a visit -

It made me start combing eBay for 50's radio cabinets as design inspiration!
