Typography has become this year’s anthem to good design, and Mark Lauckhardt has found yet another way to incorporate it with something usually unrelated to typeface: furniture design. Lauckhardt has created a line that consists of a lamps, tables, chairs and couches all replicating different letters in the alphabet. The clean lines and modern design may have you fooled at first — viewing it from the front a chair may just look like another contemporary all black dining room chair, but if you turn it to its side it takes the shape of a lower case “h” in a classic font. Perhaps all the pieces are not all that attractive — and certainly not as interesting as, say, the Space Invader or Monster Chairs — but creative nonetheless. Entirely inspired by the simplicity and versatility of typography.
