alessandro canepa + andrea paulicelli: fontable


'A' 'fontable' by alessandro canepa + andrea paulicelli

italian designers alessandro canepa and andrea paulicelli have developed a series of tables whose top are represented by
alphanumerics adding a bold, graphic three-dimensional form of type to any space. the entire alphabet is represented
in both upper and lower case versions, along with the numbers 0 through 9. each table is made from a steel sheet that is
finished in lacquered varnishing in either black, white or red. the structural legs are of an anodized aluminum and can be
adjusted with a simple twist allowing one to overlap table tops.
canepa and paulicelli are represented by outdoorz gallery in paris.
