This miniature representation of the Eames-designed Herman Miller shipping boxes features alphabetic elements from our Eames Century Modern font collection. We originally created the Shipping Blocks for Herman Miller Japan in 2010, but the folks in Zeeland liked them so much that they commissioned us to create a set for the U.S. market.
Available through July 1, 2012 at the
Herman Miller pop up store.
68 Wooster St., New York, NY
If you can’t do the Soho shuffle, the blocks will be available through Herman Miller’s online store after July 1.

Congratulations to Kaisa Leka on being named Finland’s Cyclist of the Year. Read about it here (at least we think that’s what the article is about). When showcasing her major award, Kaisa always chooses her Banjo H-Pattern Giro Reverb helmet.

Wondering what to do on your summer vacation? Why not spend it drawing letters during a pair of back-to-back bicoastal workshops?! From June 3–8, I’ll be laying down the basics of display typeface design during a hands-on TypeCamp powwow in Templeton, CA. The following week, from June 12–15, I’m back at Cooper Union in NYC for a few days of logotype lettering instruction. So sign up now and kick off the summer right by cranking out some custom letterforms—registration is still open for both workshops!
Keep your eyes peeled for forthcoming House stationery like the notepad shown above. In the meantime, acquaint yourself with some other fine House Industries offerings.
