Chair Alphabet: Typeseat Print by Tim Fishlock

twentytwentyone has exclusively launched Tim Fishlock‘s limited edition Typeseat print. Each letter of the alphabet is represented by an iconic chair from the twentieth century.

That’s right, swoon-worthy modern chairs mixed with typography in one limited edition (of only 300!), signed screen print. Get yours here.

From the designer:

A lot of my work explores symbols and the idea of pictorial shorthand. I’m fascinated by the alphabet, how most of the letters began as pictures, icons from another era. Social and cultural change and aesthetic trends have been reflected in the Roman alphabet as it’s been refined over the centuries. Few objects reflect this cultural change as distinctly as the chair. An Eames lounger or a Panton chair are effective shorthand for the aesthetic trends of the day.
