milan design week 2012 // it's just words

i hope i haven't been boring you with my endless milan design week posts. today i just wanted to share my typographic view of the city. everywhere i go, i'm always attracted to words and letters. and of course in milan, there was an abundance of good looking ones.

1 ray-ban sign at the piaza del duomo / 2 sculpture and its sign at erastudio apartment gallery / 3 erastudio's own sign made with letterpress letters / 4 merci by kidimo / 5 at the temporary museum for new design / 6 on the streets / 7 pretty self explanatory / 8 i loved tom dixon's installation at the museo nazionale della scienza / 9 sodastream's sodabar (they had awesome ginger ale) / 10 xyz design at ventura lambrate / 11 at hotel sanpi

note // our hotel room was kindly sponsored by hotels.com. if you're a frequent traveler - or foreign city dweller as i like to call it - you might want to check out their welcome rewards program. it allows you to save up nights to earn a free night's stay.

Lies said...: Misschien brengt design week het beste uit Milaan maar het beeld dat je van Milaan tot nu toe hebt meegegeven is echt prachtig en strookt ook totaal niet met wat ik denk over Milaan. Al die leuke groene plekjes en hotspots, amai! Echt genieten, een reisje door jouw ogen! I love Kidimo en niets is meer Pin of Tumblr-waardig dan typografie! Love it...!; 27.4.12

welcome to my online lab.

i am a storyteller and this blog is where i share my favorite stories. my view on the world is defined by a strong affinity for design, fashion and the nice things in life. i hope to be able to inspire you with my finds and experiences.

when i'm not writing, blogging, traveling or obsessively sharing pictures on instagram, i spend my time with my fiancé in geneva, switzerland, where we like to cook, ski, mountainbike or hang around at the lake.

click here to learn a little more about this blog and here to find out more about me.

i am addicted to travel, but i like to do it my way: with a lot of attention paid to design, interesting experiences and good food. i share my wish lists and own experiences on this blog, with more pictures and information posted on the 70percentpure facebook page.

the internet is an endless source of inspiration, but i like to give credit where credit is due. i always link back to owners of pictures and to the awesome people who lead me in the direction of rad stuff. no one is fool proof though, so should you come across something that just isn't right, do let me know and i'll be sure to fix it.

if no source is mentioned, i've used my own photographs - taken with my iphone, canon powershot g12 or canon eos 7d and edited with instagram, photoshop elements 10 or lightroom 4. that picture of me up there on the left was taken by the lovely pat verbruggen.
