The third collection of Helvetica wood is now on sell. But please notice you could not get it for christmas, sorry (I am not father christmas, sadly). The tissus bags are not ready yet and neither all the letters, but you can start ordering them. They will be send after the holidays. As the collection 1 of recycled teck colors, each letter is different, so if you prefer a specific design seen on these pictures, please tell me and I will do my best.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My life is always changing, so I will be in Bali at the end of the year, but will be in Singapore again next week. I have some meeting set up with other great designers, impatient. The wood products ordered before the 11th at 00h will be send on the 12th. All orders done after will be sent after the 20th.

I do not remember where I have found all these Sanborn maps... for whose who do not know, as wikipedia says "Sanborn Maps is an American publisher of historical and current maps of U.S. cities and towns that were initially created to estimate fire insurance liabilities. The company's maps are frequently used for preservation and restoration efforts."

The font work on the covers are simply ... masterpieces...
