House Industries at Eames!

What an incredible evening of the most curvacious, sensuous and decadent typography since Alfred Roller’s Art Nouveau exhibition posters of 1903.

March 11, 2010 marked the official launch of House Industries Eames Font & Object Collection with an evening of fine wine, delectable fondue, jazz musings from the Mattson 2, screen printing demos from Fresh Pressed, and an installation of “a cornucopia of free-standing dimensional letterforms” inspired from the beautiful letterforms of the Eames Font Collection.

Menagerie Creative and a large group of CSUF alumni made the trek to Santa Monica and were among the first visitors to view the 5' custom architectural letterforms, play the Alexander Girard Memory Game and experience the musical stylings of the Mattson 2. Fresh Pressed offered a live demonstration of silkscreened prints & bags marked with classic Eames dingbats and typographical letterforms. A visit and photo op with Ken Barber topped off the evening of typographic delights and inspiration.




The exhibition, held at the Eames Office, 850 Pico Blvd., Santa Monica, CA is FREE and open to the public. The House Industries Eames exhibit runs from March 11th through April 1st. If you love the sensuality of elegantly modern letterforms, this is one event you can’t afford to miss.
