Fun with Fontables

Font nerds and alphabet soup fans, this is the modular table set for you!

Fun with Fontables

BY

May 11th, 2011

Forget spelling words on the fridge with alphabet magnets. Now you can express your love of words through your furniture.

 

Italian designers Alessandro Canepa and Andrea Paulicelli have come up with Fontable – a series of tables in all the letters of the alphabet and numbers from 0-9.

 

Each table is made from a single sheet of steel with lacquered varnishing in white, black and red.

The possibilities really are endless – and hilarious – if you collect enough of them.

 

Fontables are manufactured in a small atelier outside of Milan and available to buy here.
