In need of fresh inspiration? Co.Design's writers and editors have selected their favourite design-themed Instagram accounts, capturing everything from the heady nostalgia of the Eames era to the endearingly esoteric (and moderately NSFW) neon illustrations of Laura Callaghan. Consider it a guide to your next mood board.

Accounts include:

Archive of Affinities - Andrew Kovacs pulls together a wonderful, unusual collection of architectural drawings, photographs, and plans from a remarkable range of sources. 1960s radomes. 1970s beach futurism. Little-known and long-demolished Mies buildings.

The Art of Plating - Just want beautiful dishes on white plates? The Art of Plating is the way to go.

Amy Auscherman - Herman Miller's Amy Auscherman has the keys to arguably the greatest design archive in the United States. Deep cuts often make their appearance here.

Laura Callaghan - Vaguely NSFW slices of life that have been covered in neon and sharpened to bring out every detail. Her work evokes Patrick Nagel, Japanese wood block prints, and golden-age comic books with a distinctively pro-fem vibe.
