type and go

Type the Sky by Lisa Rienermann is an alphabet formed of shapes buildings make against the sky when photographed from below. According to the original post on German typographic blog Slanted the alphabet was created by Rienermann while studying at the University of Duisburg-Essen.


“It began with the Q,” she tells Slanted. “I was in a kind of courtyard in Barcelona. I looked upward and saw houses, the blue sky and clouds. The more I looked, I saw that the houses formed a letter Q.” She then set out to find more letter forms, spending weeks only looking upwards. The more difficult letters such as Q and K were the easiest to find, she says, but admits that PhotoShop helped here and there.


I love them especially because wherever I am I like to look up and notice all the details that you normally wouldn't on a fast walk down the street.

Next is ABChairs by Roeland Otten. He has designed a collection of 26 chairs, each spelling out one letter of the alphabet.
Called ABChairs, the seats can be arranged to form words. Made out of plastic, very light and affordable the designer sees a great future for these chairs, suitable for cool interiors as well as outdoor furniture, kids rooms or libraries and schools.
I'd love some in my living room!

here's a cool lady...

* Roisin Murphy

I love her music and her style - on stage and off stage. She's so cutting edge sophisticated!
I've seen her in concert and at that time I only knew a few of her songs but the atmosphere was soooo great and everybody was dancing, I fell in love with her music! It is just like modern magic ...all those intriguing sounds and the smart lyrics! Her hairdos, her outfits, especially her sunglasses are so classy cool :D


here's a taste of the real life cool roisin murphy :P

funky designs from Art. Lebedev Studio

*
What i like most about Art. Lebedev Studio is that their designs are conceived with irony and and sense of humour. They make objects that are practical and fun to use.

Georgius cocktail stick is by far my favorite. I love how they turn a religious symbol in a party accessory. It's depicted just like in the Bible, with it's sword piercing through anything, from fruits to canape.

Swissarmius is another fun object and a cool design to have in your kitchen, cause when in use it looks just like a Swiss army with everything you need.

Vespertilium clothes peg was created on the occasion of Halloween, but I would use it all year rounf cause they're so fun. And the thing I like the most about it it's that when you don't use it it hangs head down just like a sleeping bat! It's great how they manage to incorporate in the designs the main characteristics of the object of inspiration and be perfectly functional and practical, not sacrifice for the sake of looking alike.

And the very famous Fuck the rain umbrella, it really depicts my attitude towards wet days. I like how the designers took this last picture "from the rains point of view". :))
