Isn't it lovely?

[frankster]

Very nice. I might make one that reads "I need dusting regularly because I have all these nooks and cranies".

[budafist]

lol. Spoken like a mother!

[frankster]

Spell it with a "U" please. ;) :D

[budafist]

and an A at the end?

[frankster]

Then I'd have to be Franksta Gangsta.

[budafist]

Franksta Gangsta Mutha Dusta

[frankster]

Lol! Yes, and I suppose it would have to be designed in a blackletter font too. :rolleyes:

[frankster]

Actually, if it is in a blackletter font then it'll take even more mutha dustin. Maybe I'll give it a miss.

This can be the "Buda brings you typographic furniture" thread. Mods, feel free to change the title, because I plan on adding more things.

These cabinets from Set 26 come in different letters. Pick your favourite or spell out a word. They are hopelessly expensive. Why is typographic furniture so bleedin expensive? These are just asking to be DIYed.

Done. :D

[budafist]

Thanks Ms Urstipie! Your'e the best!

[urstwile]

My pleasure, dear. :)

[razuel]

I think it'd be very cool to have an entire apartment full of typography furniture, wallpaper, etc.

Great find!
So, if you sit in the chair naked and stand up it will read:
DNATS
EGROF
AERBT
CAEHT
LWONK
OEGDE
EVRSEB
:D

[frankster]

Depending on how skinny you are it might read only the central three letters and that would be very confusing. Good enough reason to eat a cake I'd say!

[frankster]

Wallpaper I would love to see! I'd like to have Wallpaper in my children's room with typographic animals like Buda's eagle all over it! Educational and visually pleasing for mum too. :D

[mojoprime]

thank god these aren't available in states. my wife would have these ordered in a heartbeat...

[budafist]

I think I'd prefer my future design studio office to be furnished entirely in typographic furniture.

I think if you were wide enough to get all the letters on your body, you'd be heavy enough to bend those little metal tubes!

Wallpaper I would love to see! I'd like to have Wallpaper in my children's room with typographic animals like Buda's eagle all over it! Educational and visually pleasing for mum too.

It could be cool to get hundreds of letters made of favourite fonts and then assemble them like my eagle pic (or other pics of course).

[IMPAQMEDIA]

Been thinking about doing word play furniture for awhile now. I think im gonna have to start constructing.

Conference table by John Beck. (http://web.mac.com/j3mbeck/iWeb/JohnBeckPaper_Steel/John%20Beck%20Paper%20%26%20Steel.html)

[Sweet Tee]

OMG, that's so very cool! I love type furniture! (too bad my apartment has it's fill of furniture :rolleyes: )

[vtwin_gary]

i want my kitchen cabinets to spell something...maybe
don't look in here or
you're too fat...
hmmm how about got food

[frankster]

Oh Buda I like that conference table, especially with my fettish for hand set wooden and lead type, but the mutha dusta in me is freaking out again.

[Digitool]

If that was my conference table it would look like a kindergarten play-time... you'd have 8 to 10 grown adults sitting around stacking blocks and spelling dirty words.


I WANT IT.

[garricks]

Heh. I went to his Web site and discovered that table is here in St. Louis. Digitool, when i see it in person, I'll hide a dirty word in the channel for you! :D

[Digitool]

That would be sweet! lol. Make it good.

I wonder how much a table like that would go for? Such a good idea IMO...

[budafist]

I dunno. I can't imagine the conference table would be hard to make if you had the skills or knew a good furniture maker. It's just a cool concept. You could even modify an existing table. Frankster, you could put glass over the letters so you wouldn't have to mutha dusta it. But then you couldn't play with it.

We have alphabet magnets for the fridge. Whenever we have parties there are always obscene messages left behind. It's great fun.

If only I could buy more vowels. At least you can use a capital M on its side as an E and V can be used as A.

[Digitool]

You cut out the whole middle where the channel is and put in a fish tank. LOL.

A friend of mine had a whole bunch of mini alphabet magnets. Only it was a thin strip of magnet with the letters printed. He had a whole bunch and so every party someone would write some nonsense and then each time we just added to it until we ran out. We had about 6 sentences when all was said and done, and it made no sense.

[Red Kittie Kat]

Ooh That is cool :)

[budafist]

http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/9343/picture1ra9.png

Ok, so these aren't furniture, but still fun typographic stuff. You can make ice or jelly or cookies out of these Alphabet moulds. Oven-safe, freezer safe. Would be cool to see a serif font. Serif font ice cubes would be neato.

I wouldn't recommend that you go to their company website (http://www.letterice.com/wholesale.html) though. You will see why if you do!

[garricks]

:eek:

Oh. That.
It looks like they'r just starting up and looking for a distributor. I'd order some if they were available at Amazon.com!

[Red Kittie Kat]

I like those :D

Some sexy chairs by MetroSofa.

http://img357.imageshack.us/img357/7223/picture2dv1.png

One day I'm going to do this kinda stuff for a living. It's feasible when you look at the prices these things go for. If I can't sell anything, I'll just have to live in a house filled with dope furniture. Could think of worse things!

[vcaster]

Wow Guys... these are great!!!!
a real life typo application for everyday life! now thats what i love from this forum. I just remember a fellow designer of mine said that "after all those long years of typography class, do you thing it will be of any use for the daily life?" Now i can show 'em this! hahaha (victorious laugh)

anyother stuff you can share guys? from all over the globe? not just chairs...

love it!

[Red Kittie Kat]

Ooh they are sexy chairs .. I love that style :D

[budafist]

Chairs like that are one of the reasons why I'm itching to do an upholstery class. Or a furniture making one. Just in my spare time though, not as a career change. Though with prices like that, maybe I should consider a career change!

[Red Kittie Kat]

I have reupholstered a couple chairs and one couch in the past .. it's a lot of work .. but a great feeling when they are done. We are still using an ottoman I recovered :D

I even re-drilled and replaced the dowel in a leg the kids broke off ;)

[budafist]

You are my hero :)

[Red Kittie Kat]

aww muuuah! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v54/RedKittieKat/smilies/6193.gif

I can't belive no one has posted anything from www.veer.com (http://www.veer.com) yet

[Red Kittie Kat]

Very kewl :)

[budafist]

I love that umbrella! Why should everyone else get to enjoy my cool umbrella? This one is for me. :D

[budafist]

Well, since this thread is leaning away from just furniture, I might as well share this shirt on here. It says HUGE TYPE LOOKS SWEET. Only it doesn't really because you can't see it as it goes around the sides.

hehe cool :D

I think I'd want mismatched ones though. Wouldn't be as cool if everyone was eating off identical plates.

[Red Kittie Kat]

OH yeah definitely mismatched :)

[budafist]

Oh and more cushions :)

I love the bowl that says "fin" at the bottom!!!

I also like Veer's hoodie that has KE on one side of the zip and RN on the other side.

[budafist]

Yeah, I love the KE RN hoodie too :)

How do you like it now?

[Red Kittie Kat]

umm ... not so much :D

[Silence04]

lol :D

[urstwile]

I like it too, but not THAT much.

[budafist]

I like these typographic rugs. (http://www.johnpourhome.com/theidea.html)

[garricks]

Oh, durn, buda beat me to "das rug" LOL

That's what I get for you being in the future, I guess.

[budafist]

I bet if I went to the local fabric shop and bought a thick piece of felt I could scissor out a pretty neat typographic rug for myself. Too bad I'm lazy...

Though I have planned to do some painting tomorrow. I have 3 brand new canvases at home. The boys cleared out the garage a few weeks ago and found them - the previous tenants left them behind - SCORE! But I have to buy some base coats coz I can't stand painting onto a white canvas.

[savantcreative]

[quote=budafist]You can buy this for me if you like. :)

That is BEAUTIFULL!!!!
Thank you

Nice! We don't have Crate & Barrel here. Are they considered mainstream or quite designery? Just wondering if normal people are thinking that typography is pretty damn cool too :D

[garricks]

I was surprised. I consider them to be kinda mainstream/for the masses. But the $1K price tag would put a lot of people off.

[Pointyhat]

I want every single thing posted in this thread. But I NEED the "lorum ipsum" cuff bracelet. And the dishes...

[Red Kittie Kat]

Thats awesome Garricks :)

[garricks]

:D

I likee. But a grand? IDK.

[Red Kittie Kat]

well yeah it would take me a long time to save enough pennies for it. :p

[garricks]

<sarcasm>Kittie, just use your Economic Stimulus Check and add $400 to it! </sarcasm>

:D

[frankster]

$900 for a coffee table! Sh1tting hell! In the long run I'd like to collect enough odd bits of wooden type for a project like that though.

[Red Kittie Kat]

<sarcasm>Kittie, just use your Economic Stimulus Check and add $400 to it! </sarcasm>

I didn't get one darlin


:p

[garricks]

Bummer. That sux.

[Red Kittie Kat]

... and my sisters was supposed to be here last month ... they sent it to the wrong address so it was sent back. They don't forward. :rolleyes:

It took her 3 solid weeks of calling and being told all lines are busy call back later to get through to someone to find out where the check was .. so now they have to reissue it .. and who knows when they will get around to that.

[CkretAjint]

We don't have Crate & Barrel here. Are they considered mainstream or quite designery?

I will put it this way. I live in Boca Raton, FL (the place old rich people come to die). At the mall they have a Crate and Barrel. It is located between an Armani Exchange store, a Louis Vuitton, across from an Apple store... How much money do you think they stuff there costs? ;)

If it is a high end rich designer store, it's at this mall... and Crate and Barrel are located right in the middle of it all!

[budafist]

Ok, so Crate & Barrel is for rich but mainstream folk. Although regular income might go in there to dream.

[CkretAjint]

Exactly! :)

You're so smert!

love that carved look :D

[garricks]

Wow, that almost makes me wish I still used a mouse pad!

[budafist]

Why don't you use a mouse pad Garricks?

I don't use one at home or at work but if someone gave me one I'd use it.

[garricks]

I use a Mighty Mouse at home and a Logitech optical mouse at work. Both have Teflon™ feet, so they don't need a pad.

[budafist]

I have mighty mouse at home and work. I never thought about teflon feet.

[garricks]

The little ring that the mouse sits on is some kind of non-stick material. Mouse pads were needed to give the mechanical mouse ball traction.

[budafist]

Oh, so I don't need a mousepad? And it's not that I'm too lazy or cheapass to buy one?

Sweeeet!

[garricks]

Buda, break FREE of the constrictions of the pad! Use your whole desk!!! GO WILD! ;)

[dwagener]

Hahah Yeah I don't use a mousepad either... Mighty Mouse at home & work

[budafist]

Buda, break FREE of the constrictions of the pad! Use your whole desk!!! GO WILD! ;)

Oh no. My mother brought me up to well for that. ;)
