Hyggelig: typographic wall decoration

Berlin based Catherine (I'm a regular reader of her lovely blog Hyggelig) likes to decorate her home with letters. Her newest addition is this "Hug Me" in her bedroom, such a nice idea to attach them vertically to the wall. The letters are vintage cinema letters Catherine bought at the german online shop Freundts that I wrote about before. Find their cinema letters right here.




And here is a peek into Catherine's dining room with a huge C on the wall, also from Freundts. I like all the red details in both rooms and the cute lamps above the dining table.

Posters from Bubbo Tubbo



I just found these bright typografic posters by Russian born, USA based Natasha Mileshina aka Bubbo Tubbo. I have known her poetic illustrations and calligraphy, these posters are different but as appealing as everything else of her work. Find these posters and many more treats in Natasha's Etsy shop Things by Bubbo Tubbo.
The design for the poster We Make Sense is part of the great Free Encouragement project which was organized by Design For Mankind and Booooooom. Works from all over the world were chosen for postcard sets that are available in the Free Encouragement Etsy shop.
Have a good start into the next week!

MeBox



Fun is useful in many cases, also when it comes to organizing. Everybody knows the good old cardboard boxes but the MeBox has a special labeling feature to add a fun and decorative twist to it. The ends of each box  have a grid of perforated discs that when punched out reveal a letter, number or symbol. 
I found out that the MeBox is a self-initiated project by Graphic Thought Facility, a London based design consultancy. They have some other interesting projects on their site worth checking. 
Find out about stockists for the MeBox on the MeBox website. Also try out the virtual MeBox to see what your design could look like.

Stiksel



To continue with bold black and white typographic patterns I'll show you these teatowels by stiksel. They are screenprinted on linen or cotton in Rotterdam, Netherlands. And I love them.


Ugmonk shirts




Oh my. My interent connection is still not working. It seems to me like a never ending story. Our internet provider has some trouble. But I won't moan. Instead I'm visiting my mom today and using her internet. ;)

I found these shirts from Ugmonk. And they make me smile. Such a great use of typography in them. Simple and fresh. Find these shown shirts and more in their online shop.

Freundts Wohnaccessoires

Catherine wrote about a letter she bought at Freundts Wohnaccessoires, that is how I found out about this great german online shop. All the letters above you can purchase there. Do you know other good recourses for letters, like this?

more typography for your home

To continue with typography for your home, I show you two wood-objects. I start with the sign above. It is hand cut by Sighn and it is part of a "limited" edition of 1 million. And 1 tree is planted through the Arbor Day Foundation for every ITSOK sign purchased. That's a very nice project, I think. You can pick one up at Multi Polar Projects. There is a nice film about the production of the sign, too.
The sign on the bottom is from Cox and Cox.
