Letters furniture
Another collection of alphabet furniture that is worth mentioning in this context is the range conceived and developed by Alessandro di Prisco. The designer thinks that this innovative furniture collection is more than mere stools, chairs and tables.
Each of them is a work of art, more specifically, inspirational pieces as the designer puts in. He believes that his collection will provide kids the opportunities to learn spontaneously while carrying out their everyday activities. The designer justifies his comments by his creation of a kids’ library that is shaped in the form of the letter “L” of the English alphabetical chart. Similarly, “A” and “M” have been cast as reclining chairs and tables respectively. A combo chair-desk resembles the letter “G”. So, your kid will surely enjoy learning in such an interactive ambiance.

Alphabet furniture for ad campaign of Penguin books
This series of Alphabet furniture have been initially launched in order to promote easy reading among preschoolers. It was a part of the ad campaign of the famous publisher, Penguin Books. Advertising agency, DDB Singapore had been vested with the responsibility to carry on the campaign.
Thus, to add spark to the campaign, the ad agency made plywood cut outs of the various letters of the English alphabet. These were then coated with black laminate. Finally, each of the letter was slotted into each other with paper sticking glue to form furniture. But the pieces were durable enough to encourage the pedestrians to sit on them and withstand their weight so that the campaign become stronger. But now the wide popularity of these furniture have made them part of kids’ libraries, classrooms and bedrooms.

Z Shelf
The designer of this range of Alphabet furniture probably understood the enormous possibilities of the English letters “A” and “Z”. Thus, he has come up with kid friendly book shelves or open cupboards that have contours resembling “A” and “Z”.
Equipped with smaller shelves within the basic outline of the alphabetical cupboards they are capable of accommodating books, toys and all the tit bits that your kid find precious. They are wall mounting shelves that save space too. They come in bright maroon color and have dimension of 23.5 x 6 x 30 inches.
