font friday...Eames by house industries

May 21, 2010/ Rae Kaiser

I was quite excited to receive this Eames type catalog from House Industries. This family Eames Century Modern includes 16 serif fonts, a stencil cut, 4 number sets and many ornaments and frames. Not to mention it is all shown in this fabulous 126 page catalog of typographic goodness.

Charles and Ray Eames did not design a typeface. They did, however, leave behind a philosophical template for a font collection. Personally I think House Industries did a good job. It has the Eames feel.

I enjoy the vast wealth of things created by Charles and Ray (Kaiser) Eames. I love mid-century classics and am delighted to own 4 of their iconic fiberglass chairs. They created so many things... furniture, fabric, films, they designed and built the Eames House, Case Study House #8. I find everything they made so visually pleasing. The only thing that would make it better would be if I was actually related to Ray.

New fabric on Spoonflower!

I have 61 fabrics and 40 wallpaper designs on Spoonflower.com. They are a print-on-demand site. That means you can buy a yard or 10 in whatever fabric you want. Cool, huh?

If you are not a sewist you can also order many different things using this fabric. I like to switch things up seasonally and this is an easy way to do it.
