Something to Smile about - Arne Jacobsen Typeface Revived

Danish design company "Design Letters" have made a name for themselves since forming in 2009 and have earned a reputation for sleek typography. 

In 2011 they took steps to revive the classic typeface originally created in 1937 by world renowned Architect Arne Jacobsen for internal signage in the Aarhus City Hall, Denmark. 

Despite being three-quarters of a century old, Jacobsen's Bahaus inspired alphabet is clean and modern. It is the perfect fit for Design Letter's new homeware range which includes fine bone porcelain cups, eggs cups, candle holders as well as textile tea towels and unique wooden wall decor. 

Get creative with the versatile range of handleless porcelain cups by using them as mugs, pencil pots, vases, or for a person touch, use them to create words: TEA, MUM, LOVE, etc.

Fritz Hansen Drop Chair - now available!

The Drop Chair from Fritz Hansen - originally designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1956-60 is now a commercial reality! Designed for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen only around 300 of the chairs were ever produced and it never entered commercial production for the public to buy. However, thanks to advances in material production, a bit of modern technology and an X-ray of one of the few surviving original chairs to examine the construction, the Drop Chair has been recreated with a polypropylene shell. In 6 complementary muted colours it comes with legs in the same colour as the shell or chrome. For those requiring a softer look the Drop Upholstered Chair comes in a huge variety of fabrics to suit any colour scheme. We're taking orders now for delivery in September. An icon comes to life!
