To bring Penguin, the iconic brand that invented casual paperback reading, to the people, all over again, during World Book Day 2011. Mobile Alphabet Libraries. Because in a frenetic city like Singapore, people are always on the move, so instead of waiting for them to visit a bookstore, we brought books to them.
We custom-designed a typeface in which each letter can be cut out and slotted into another to form distinct alphabet furniture like chairs, tables and lamps. We took these creations across Singapore, giving people a unique reading experience. Created by the letters T, A, B, L, E, C, H, A, I, R, L, A, M, and P. This appealing concept is an ideal addition to any house. Whether to spruce up a corner, accessorise a dining table or liven up a study room, you can count on this visually distinctive table, chair and lamp to be a conversation starter, every time.
Each letter is made from sturdy plywood that’s coated with a black laminate in a matt finish. The slots and grooves are precision cut to ensure better safety and stability when the Alphabet furnitures are assembled. The letters come in a durable carton for easy storage and transportation. A detailed instruction guide on how to assemble the furniture will also be provided with every set.
