Kaleidoscope by Katerina
Katerina’s topic in seminars of typography was “Light and Typography” so she decided to create five kaleidoscopes. This toy was named by combining three Greek words: kalos – meaning beautiful; eidos – form; and skopeo – I see. A lot of glittering glass cullets makes amazing pictures because of the light. The main idea was to use characters made from coloured transparent material and convert them into abstract pictures. It works great as characters wobble around in the kaleidoscope and the owner spirals into an uncontrollable fix of typography drug heaven. Katerina can be found on her behance page.

As we mentioned before that are some people that get happy in the pants over typography. Vladimir Koncar is amongst that crowd.

Project after project, the alignment of each character is spot on. Wouldn’t it be great if we could get these as actual fonts? Oh the amount of hours that woule be spent making surreal posters. Vladimir Koncar works for Studio Revolucija as an Artistic Director. You can find Vladimir on his website, twitter and Vimeo.

I’m sure we’ve all heard of Piano Cat but have you heard of The Piano Table? Made from the finest of wood available on the market this table has a secret compartment in which there’s a hidden keyboard. The keyboard is there for you to dazzle your friends and bring back the life to those parties where everyone leaves before midnight. Whenever the mood at the party is beginning to decline to its demise all you have to do is sweep all the alcohol off the table in a dramatic manner, stick that rose in your mouth and clap your hands twice raising the compartment and leaving your audience in awe. That situation doesn’t come to life at a cheap price; the table is priced at $6,000. Designed and developed by Georg Bohle, the plates are signed by Joost van Brug.
