House Industries y Herman Miller en una nueva versión de la mesa "Eames"
We just got word from the House
Industries team that they have teamed with
Herman Miller Japan to announce a conceptually elegant collaboration that
combines the classic Eames wire-base table with timeless typographic forms
drawn from the House Industries Eames Century Modern font collection. Each tabletop
is hand-printed in House's Grand Rapids, Michigan factory, returned to Herman
Miller for assembly then packaged in a special House Industries-designed wooden
crate. More the press release: House Industries and
Herman Miller are producing a limited edition series of 80 tables that include
A thru Z, numbers and ornaments from House Industries Eames Century Modern font
collection. Forty tables will be available at the Herman Miller Reach event on
September 16, 2011 and 40 will be available at the House Industries exhibition
at the Herman Miller Tokyo Showroom on October 27, 2011. "I originally showed sketches of a printed
LTR table to Herman Miller Japan during my trip to Tokyo in 2010 and soon after
we planned to launch a limited edition series of the printed Eames LTRs."
said House Industries owner Andy Cruz. "As with most House Industries
projects, I tried my best to make the packaging for this limited edition
something you wouldn't throw away once the table was removed. Who doesn't like
a printed wooden crate that can do double duty as a storage container?" via Juxtapoz.
