These animated alphabet shaped desks are here to liven up your workplace!
Open offices have transitioned into the epitome of procrastination, ineffectiveness or simply ‘boredom’. In fact, research even goes so far as to say they could hinder creative thinking. In a time and age where workspaces need to be fun, inspiring and harbingers of productivity, French creative Benoit Challand has come to our rescue! Inspired by Typography, his concept ‘Fold Yard’ introduces an innovative open office environment, wherein each desk is shaped like a different letter of the alphabet. All the individual workstations come together to form the 26 letters of the alphabet, kicking aside the traditional cubicle, to add a bit of ‘typo’ fun to our workspaces! Despite that, each desk impressively possesses substantial desk space, shelves, storing spaces, partitions and all of the usual office desk requirements. However, when viewed from the ground the shapes remain abstract, but when viewed from above they can spell out series of words depending on how you and your co-workers decide to position the desks for the day. A fresh new word for every fresh new day! (Depending on everyone’s mood)
Taking a break from his daily work schedule (which involves projects with Nike, Ogilvy, and Cartier) Challand forayed into creating an animated and modular collection of office furniture in an attempt to break the usual office monotony, liven up the dreary atmosphere, and combine work with play!

Good product design makes good typography!
No company’s design language has been so lauded, so scrutinized, so institutionalized as Braun’s. Braun’s products have arguably inspired generation after generation of product designers and the 10 Principles of Good Design associated with their products has almost achieved Hippocratic-Oath-status with a large number of product designers.
Designer Gao Yang decided to pay homage to Braun’s legacy in the form of type! Taking real products from Braun’s vast catalog, Gao made small alterations to them (you can see which products he took by zooming into the close-up renders), maintaining their Braun-ness but turning products into characters… which works pretty well because Braun’s products do have character.
Honest, effective, functional, timeless, no-nonsense products and design details get turned into beautiful letters, and the resulting typeface is nothing less than an amazing map of Braun’s journey over the years as almost a design movement in their own right! BRB, looking for high-resolution prints…

WWF’s New Panda Font Is The Cutest Font To Ever Font
WWF Japan created this adorable panda font to raise awareness for the endangered species and, presumably, to raise cuteness in fonts. Sure beats the hell out of Comic Sans! And what doesn’t? Even chicken scratch is better than that mess. Whose chicken scratch? Hell, probably an actual chicken’s chicken scratch. Look, I know Comic Sans […]

The Alphabet Made Out Of Human Hair
Design student Shurong Diao put together the alphabet using her long beautiful hair. There’s a good chance you didn’t notice she even had any hair, because: butts. EVERYWHERE. The same butt. Over and over again. But (BUTT!) once you get past alllllllll of that, you might notice the cool typeface she’s created. More like typehair, […]

A Man Grows Alphabet With Beard
This is all 18 32 26 letters of alphabet in a man’s facial hair. The bearded man in question is Mike Allen. Why did he do it? For science! No — because his friends dared him to do it. In total, it took Mike two years to complete all the letters, plus some punctuation. That’s a TWO [...]
