We just got word from the House Industries team that they have teamed with Herman Miller Japan to announce a conceptually elegant collaboration that combines the classic Eames wire-base table with timeless typographic forms drawn from the House Industries Eames Century Modern font collection.

In the 1960s, NYC-based Photo-Lettering Inc was a leading foundry of type, with an array of styles in Art Deco, Art Nouveau, and Psychedelic alphabets. Of course, that being the 1960s, digital fonts took over, and Photo-Lettering lost all steam. Now, LA-based type foundry, House Industries (with an emphasis on digital type), is set to re-release some of the great types of Photo-Lettering Inc. More after the jump . . .
