# Wall-Mounted Font Furniture Ufuk Keski's Flat Objects Typeshelf is Eco-Friendly and Funky By Meghan Young | Published 2011-08-20 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-objects-typeshelf References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/typeshelf/) & [36-1](http://www.36-1.com/typeshelf) The Flat Objects Typeshelf might not be the only font-inspired piece of furniture out there, but it certainly looks like it is one of the first [flat-pack designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tobifant) ever made. This funky [shelving unit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shelving-unit-01) is a simple yet clever creation that combines form and function seamlessly. Designed by Ufuk Keskin for Thirtyfive Creative Works, an up-and-coming design studio in New York City, the Flat Objects Typeshelf not only immerses itself in the recent typography fad seen in the industrial design industry of late, it also embraces a [2-D look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-light) that conveniently has 3-D capabilities. Made out of a single piece of powder-coated stainless steel, the Flat Objects Typeshelf is available in red, black and white. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Typography-inspired Furniture:** Designing furniture taking inspiration from typography, paving the way for more creative and innovative designs. - **Flat-pack Furniture:** Introducing a new level of convenience for customers and contributing towards protecting the environment by reducing carbon footprint and cost of production. - **Minimalist Design:** Focusing on minimalistic design and clean lines to match an industry trend of simple and functional design solutions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Industry:** The furniture industry has an opportunity to explore typography-inspired furniture designs and introduce more flat-pack products with innovative designs. - **Interior Design Industry:** Interior designers can create unique designs by incorporating typography-inspired furniture and minimalist themes. - **Manufacturing Industry:** The manufacturing industry can take advantage of flat-pack furniture designs to reduce production costs and contribute to environmental sustainability. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adaptable Flat-Pack Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-pack-shelving.md) - [Modular Bent-Metal Storage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sfso-1.md) - [Modular Organized Shelving Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unit-shelving-system.md) - [Abstract Jigsaw-Like Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spectator-shelf.md) - [Room-Dividing Bookshelf Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frquence-shelf.md) - [Sculptural Wall Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-wall-desk.md) - [Dynamic Typeface-Like Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orma-chair.md) - [L-Shaped Stacked Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loft-shelf.md) - [Folding Steel Shelving Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pli-steel-wall-shelf.md)
