Decorating With Letters- Design Letters
Happy November friends!
I cannot believe we are just a few weeks away from Thanksgiving!
I am excited to kick off the new month with a home decor post too because I know you will be just as excited to meet journalist Mette Thomsen..the face behind Design Letters. Design Letters is a company I just stumbled upon via Design Milk and I literally am soooooo obsessed with every single thing. I love words. I love letters. I love personalization!
DESIGN LETTERS® is a young Danish design company founded in 2009 by the former journalist Mette Thomsen. After a career with words, first as copywriter in the advertising industry and later as reporter and news editor at an interiors’ magazine in Denmark, Mette decided to unite her passion for words with her passion for design and established DESIGN LETTERS®.
“In 2009 there were absolutely no fashionable letters in the interiors’ world. Only noisy, childish letters for wall decoration. Not something I would have in my home,”
And so she decided to found DESIGN LETTERS by launching a radically different series of one colour letters, later expanding to include Arne Jacobsen’s hand-drawn typography from 1937. In this way DESIGN LETTERS® was the very first design-house to combine letters with interior design in a stylish Scandinavian way.
“I simply love letters and the personal and stylish set up you can create with them. DESIGN LETTERS®’ mission is to invite people to play with letters and personalise their home and their look in a way never seen before.”
DESIGN LETTERS®’ world of letters is based on original design products designed in Copenhagen and featuring a typography hand-drawn in 1937 by the iconic Danish architect Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971). DESIGN LETTERS® obtained the exclusive rights to use the typography on a range of designs, including stationery and accessories such as for ‘life on-the-go’, with lunch boxes and thermo bottles.
The company’s products are now represented in more than 2000 design-led shops in 56 countries.
I love the Food & Lunch Box in Nude and The Favourite Cup with the word Pause.
The Food & Lunch is a multi functional food and lunch box. Bring lunch or snacks on the go or use it for storing food in the refrigerator. The food and lunch box is stackable too! It features PP plastic and is dishwasher safe and microwave safe. Typography: Arne Jacobsen’s Vintage ABC. Design by Tobias Jacobsen.
The original porcelain cup is so darling too!!! It reminds me to just pause and reflect. I want to mix, match and collect them all. Favourite Cups look great in combination with the black and white personal cups. You can create a personal and vivid look on the shelf by writing statements or short sentences. The original cup in fine bone china is a timeless and classic design object that fit into all homes.
DESIGN LETTERS® features such a great variety of products! There are items for the bar and kitchen! They have textiles and organizational stuff too. They even have smart phone accessories and jewelry too.
The possibilities are endless.
Make it personal!
