Furnishings That Make Us Feel Some Type of Way




With the arrival of fall and school back in session, we’re taking notes inspired by classic Industrial classroom settings with a modern edge, and typographic elements--not just an alphabet or word pattern, but 3D type components combining interior design and visual communication. Below are a 10 of the pieces that Thirsty O. gives an A+ to for design.

10. Before the digital age, the traditional technique of printing was known as letterpress, each letter and spacing was manually placed, inked then pressed onto pages using letter blocks similar to the drawers seen in Kent and London’s Sustainable Oak Alphabet drawers, and Wall & Deco’s Wooden Typologywhich okay, is actually wall paper made to look 3D but how cool is that!



9. Made in Hollywood's literal use of the word “Coffee” incorporated into the Coffee Table as the dye cut base creates for a witty ice breaking conversational piece. The simplicity creates a bold statement that can also be customized to communicate just about anything in any size.

8) Let ‘em know which coast is the best coast! Faktura’s NY / LA side tables are a great typographic accent. The sleek minimal typeface presents a clean subject that can blend into a variety of elcectic interiors.

7. Mark Matcham’s Kerniture intersect two letters smoothly creating the stool and table base visible at any angle. Lettermark Prototype Sans Serif font A creates an almost natural support for the stool seat, while serif font X presents a perfect counter top fit on the letter X’s serif edge.

6. Marc Lauckhardt’s conceptual serif type and furniture integration demonstrate everyday use of letters in a three-dimensional formatting outside the text lines. If you liked Made in Hollywood's ‘Coffee Table’ mentioned above, we think you might also like Lauckhardt’s glass top letter base tables.

5. Palette Industries' Camus Lamp tightly kerned and leaded typeface shade attracts attention, and when turned on, with it’s dye cut letters illuminating the space it demands to be noticed.­

4. Instead of having letterforms as the table base, Mamadesignlab’s Italian designers Alessandro Canepa & Andrea Paulicelli created Fontables. Consisting of alphanumeric characters and punctuation symbols, the counter tops are dye cut into the shapes of each letter. Perfect for a modern monogram or broadcasting an aerial view message.

3. ‘Target books’ by Meb Rure Oral proves walls can talk, while also keeping books organized made easy, when placed on this shelf reminding you of all the great literature to be read.

2. Tabisso's typographic furniture collection can be selected to physically spell out your welcome and light up guests to an inviting space.

1. Wary Meyers's chic project repurposing a 1920's veneer dresser, gave new life to this updated typographic handle. Originally the designers had considered painting the words on the drawers but the 3D element truly makes this piece outspoken!
