Typographical Warfare

“Typography needs to be audible. Typography needs to be felt. Typography needs to be experienced.” — Helmut Schmid

Calligraphy Stools.

 I love to see type or lettering is used as decoration, simply for its own beauty but even more so when it’s functional. I’ve previously written about Type Tables, Concept Furniture and Type Architecture, and now, another inventive blend of form and function, Calligraphy Stools.

The above works are by Beirut based designer, Iyad Naja. Most recently he produced the calligraphy stools (the top five images above) for for Dubai design week, last month. The decorative top half is created from abstracted calligraphic forms that have been sculpted into a continuous ring. These have been cast into three types of metal and interwoven with a concrete base. There’s several other script inspired pieces over on Facebook.

Typography ambigrams 2

One week ago we posted the first edition of typography ambigrams. The ones today are a little bit diverse to them. We have ambigrams which change their meaning of the word to the contrary by turning around like bullshit and meeting, drink and drunk, Save me and I’m fine, black and white, back and front. The others are just the same by moving 180° but we love the idea and design of them. Enjoy it!
