Lettering is the reflection of the parallelism between architecture and typography. Although the dimensions are derived from two different disciplines, we may say that what they have in common is the search of very precise forms with a very specific function and aesthetics.
An observer who expects to enjoy a static architecture is obliged to move around and through it. However a perspective generates new spaces, thru engagement with light effects, of a wide spectrum. In this case the typography sheds itself from 2 dimensions to approach more to architecture and blurs the differences effectively.
The third dimension is not enough however for the fourth dimension time, is required to be able to read it.
The reader is obliged to embrace the typography to understand all its’ forms.
The 4D typography is a result of intersecting the space orthogonally, two extrusions of the same character, which allows us to read the character from at least two different coordinates in space

Jellyfish Lamp is a lamp born of the sea and every time you turn it on, your room will never be the same. A group of jellyfish invade the room creating a dreamlike and surreal atmosphere, completely changing the perception of time and space. None of the lights used in the lamp are identical as each one of them has their own spectrum of colors and intensities. Each lamp is hand crafted from 300-400 meters of ribbon.

The Michelberger Booze Company is a joint project between the Michelberger Hotel and the Preussiche Spirituosen Manufaktur, both based in Berlin. Their first product is a pair of herbal schnaps drinks based on two old German recipes. Michelberger 35% is a golden liquid, a herbal liquor, smooth, earthy and warming and Michelberger 45% is a herbal distillate, clear, airy and invigorating. The drinks are a complimentary pair, so the designs are more or less a symmetrical reflection of one another, set in the world of German fairytales and stories. The design for one drink is located in a forest and the other in the mountains, so as to reflect the qualities of the respective drinks. A drink is like a mask, it lets you feel something else or even become someone else, and so the visual concept is based around two masks – a wolf in the forest and a bird in the mountains.

When we were kids, it was okay to hang posters of our favorite team all over our walls. When we grew up, as much as we loved our team, our girlfriends (and later our wives) wouldn’t have a giant Man U banner hanging above the mantel (even if they were big fans). And while it was a tough decision—loyalty to team or girl—we came up with an ideal solution: Art of Sport, a series of limited edition, living-room worthy prints that brings a modern design aesthetic to your favorite team, while subtly incorporating team history, colours, names, and mythology.
Art of Sport is founded by two designers—rival Arsenal and Liverpool fans—living in the USA: John Paul Stallard, co-founder of SOLV (www.solv.tv), and Rob Duncan, Creative Director of Mucho San Francisco and New York (www.wearemucho.com).
It’s now Mucho Barcelona’s turn to revisit all the teams of the Spanish football league following that challenge of being able to hang our posters in our living-room too.
