Revert to Type Striking Typographic Sculptures, Architecture and Furniture

On Minggu, 22 Agustus 2010 0 comments»

I think you will all know my weakness in design often comes down to typography and text art in particular. So much so that I have personally developed the idea to have typography merge into furniture design through kids chair designs. The idea is still formulated in CAD form, but more on that later. Architecture and furniture can take advantage of typography in conveying a message, speaking directly to its user.

Couldn’t there be a chair designed which spelt out ‘sit’ or a couch which spelled out the word ‘relax.’

I would love to see a bed design which was a bunch of ‘z’s.’

This showcase and roundup of exciting furniture and architecture shows off some ideas which have taken inspiration through typography on a large scale. I hope you are as inspired and excited as I was checking these concepts and projects as me!

Chris La brooy: Lorem Ipsum Lamp

Found on Chrislabrooy

I stumbled upon this lamp design whilst looking at Chris’ personal online site, he has a really interesting design portfolio and this won’t be the only design I’m going to showcase of his. This lamp much like the design you will see later on chooses to have the text art replace the usual shape of the lamp shade. The text isn’t linear and flowing with sharp lines to define a definite shape, instead it give a more fractured shape and something which I feel makes the design much more appealing. I would love to have this adorning my living room.
