louispoulsen.com

Louis Poulsen is the Danish house behind some of the most recognisable lamps ever made — the PH series, Panthella and more — and its site is the definitive place to browse and specify them. It's a manufacturer catalogue rather than a publication, but for anyone sourcing lighting, it's an essential reference point.

paper.foundation

The Paper Foundation runs a working handmade paper mill in Burneside, a Lake District village with three centuries of papermaking behind it. For designers, conservators, and bookbinders who care about the physical substance of their work, it's a rare source of genuinely archival-grade paper — and an organisation quietly keeping a craft alive.

laminex.com.au

Laminex is the Australian benchmark for laminates, acrylic surfaces, and architectural panels, and its product library is genuinely useful when you are specifying finishes for a kitchen, joinery run, or commercial fit-out. It is a manufacturer's catalogue rather than a design publication, but the range depth and trade resources make it a reliable first stop when you need to know what actually exists in the market.
