Design Something.

Furniture can come in all shapes and sizes, design and typography go hand in hand, designers the world over use typography in various ways and means. Typography is used by artists and designers the world over and can make any piece of work stand out and really make the piece of work feel unique. Here is a collection of typography inspired furniture I have found whilst researching over the Internet in the past few weeks.

Found over at crookedbrains.net

Found over at designspotter.com, this is a ‘Muungano bench’ which has been lazer cut out.

Known as ‘La Dresser’ this piece of furniture was found over at the death by kerning blog, made by Wary Myers using an old set of drawers and revamped them.

Swiss firm Set 26 created this furniture and it is also available in six different colours also.

This design of a typography table can be found over at palette industries.

Called the Dharma Lounge, it reads “Stand Forget Breath Acknowledge Observe” this again was made by the people over at Pallette industries.

A very complex idea but put together with great precision, made by the American contemporary artist Joseph Kosuth.

These alphabet drawers are handmade over at Kent and London, the drawers were inspired by vintage printing blocks.

This campus floor lamp was found over at behance and again was made by those creatives over at Pallette Industries.

Character recycled typography was found over at Yanko Design. These reinstalled LEDs have a life span of 30,000 hours, and are recycled old lights which have previously would have been sent to landfill once there lifespan had ended.
