Known throughout the world as a prolific type foundry, House Industries has made a considerable impact on the world of design. House Industries fonts scream from billboards, wish happy whatever from tens of thousands of greeting cards, serve as the basis for consumer product logos and add elements of style to a wide range of mainstream media. In their illustrious career, House artists have mastered a large cross-section of design disciplines.

Industrial off-the-shelf materials like steel and glass were the building blocks of the original Eames House, the 1949 landmark home of mid-century maestros Charles and Ray, but a set of kiln-dried basswood cubes can re-create the iconic residence and studio. Part puzzle, part teaching tool, this collection furthers the font-based collaboration between the Eames Foundation and type foundry House Industries.
Santa never looked better than he does on this solid maple Marilyn Neuhart print from House Industries, a great graphic image of the man with all the toys. Merry Christmas, all! Here's hoping everyone's having a lovely afternoon full of food and fun times. Have a happy holiday!
