Herman Miller Shipping Blocks

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.

Finnish Cyclist of the Year

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.

Ken Barber Workshops

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.

House Industries Catalog No. 54

Eight different covers, five custom-mixed inks, six envelope patterns, several tactile French Paper treats and a healthy sprinkle of anti-ephemeral pixie dust forge the pioneering permutational promotion that is House Industries Catalog No. 62

This triumphant specimen of modern offset lithography is viewable at a vibrantly crisp 2540 × 2540 dots per inch resolution through direct or indirect passive solar energy as well as artificial light sources while remaining universally accessible in line-of-sight applications and guaranteeing 99.9% visual uptime without necessitating power-redundant centrally-located data facilities or external energy sources.

Existing House Industries customers should send any updates to their universal physical resource locator data to changes@houseind.com and others should submit a request through our online form as this catalog is only available through the United States Postal Service’s analog content distribution network (or the appropriate publicly-administrated postal authority of one’s native country).
