ABChairs by Roeland Otten
Graphic designer Roeland Otten (who has a killer website btw) had an idea back when he was in school at Design Academy Eindhoven: to make communicative seating. Almost 10 years later, he’s finally fulfilled this dream with help from Fonds BKVB and Materiaalfonds. This prototype alphabet of chairs and stools consists of all 26 letters made from lacquered MDF. Right now, they’re being produced one-off as limited editions, but we hope he’ll find a manufacturer soon to make plastic versions.
Studio Yra Vers Libre Candle Holders
What happens when a product designer meets a typography major and they develop their first collection? Typographic housewares, of course.
Studio Yra is designers product designer Lina Meier and graphic designer Sara Kerannen-Gramner and they are launching a new collection of candle holders called Vers Libre at Pulse in June.
The holders were inspired by Dadaism and woodcut fonts used around that time. As the letters are made in different fonts and sizes they can be used in different ways; standing, lying flat, upside down and with both candles as well as tea lights. Letters A-Z as well as the ampersand are available in birch plywood and can also be painted for a more personal touch. The pieces are cnc-routered in quality birch plywood and produced in the UK.
COMA by Sanserif Creatius
Type nuts — here’s something new to obsess over: Sanserif Creatius will be introducing a new decorative modular system serving as shelving or to divide spaces or even as a counter. COMA, whose name is taken from comma (the punctuation mark) is made of two modules that can be arranged in different positions by means of a metallic structure covered in wood paneling. The goal is to “reorganise spaces through a graphic play that reconverts a separating wall into an ethereal and multifunctional element.”
Happy Holidays from Design Milk

My Holiday Wishlist: Crystal
We don’t do gift guides here on Design Milk because, well, everyone does them. We like to be different. So we decided to go in another direction this year. Since our staff is getting larger, we thought it would be fun to ask each person what was on their wishlist this holiday season. So, every day for next 2 weeks we’ll feature a staff wishlist. Here’s what Crystal is crossing her fingers for.
1. Color Masking Tape Set 2. Brand Puzzle 3. Sky Planter 4. Hamster Bank 5. Vitra Uten Silo Large Wall Organizer or 6. This one 7. Typeface 8. Made in Bunch Book 9. Moustache Pencils 10. Wooden Letters
Ampersand Pillow
Awesome & it’s made from eco-felt (100% recycled plastic bottles!) & it would be a great typophile gift!
Letters Bookshelf by Pieter de Leeuw
Pieter de Leeuw is a recent graduate in Industrial Design and this is his thesis: letters in various colors that can be arranged to the user’s liking. The wooden letters can also be used as seating. You can these pieces on display now at Utrecht Verplettert in The Netherlands through October 25th.
Font Created by A Car
Two typographers and a pro race pilot collaborated to design a font with a car. The car movements were tracked using a custom software, designed by interactive artist Zachary Lieberman.
