‘Interiors’ is a collaboration between type designer Andrew Byrom and designer Joel Wolter. It was originally conceived as a digital font and was inspired by an old wooden chair in Byrom’s office that, when looked at the right angle, resembled the letter h.

”Using the three dimensional principles of this simple form, and closely adhering to type design conventions, 26 letters of the alphabet where drawn and generated as a font. The characters where then constructed in three dimensions using tubular steel into full-scale furniture frames (the seat height/x height is 20 inches).

Because the underlying design concept is typographical, the end result becomes almost ‘freestyle’ furniture design. Letters like m, n, o, b, and h can be viewed as simple tables and chairs but other letters like e, g, a, s, t, v, x, z become beautifully abstract pieces of ‘furniture’.”
