A typographical cafe

Heading down to Greenwich, London and fancy a cup of tea then pop in to the Movement Cafe, a new project by Studio Myersough. 

This eye-catching temporary cafe is near the Greenwich DLR station and makes use of a corner of what was once the Greenwich Industrial site. This is being redeveloped into a mixed-use scheme of flats, business units and retail units which will be called The Movement by developers Cathedral Group.

The Studio worked with poet and author Lemn Sissay on the project, who was commissioned to write a poem about Greenwich. The result, Shipping Good, runs along the hoarding and will eventually be set into the road that cuts through the site.

The cafe is open until Christmas and you can find out more here about the cafe and events planned.

A new magazine wrap

This is an interesting project by Spanish graphic design studio Lo Siento which was created for the cover of Japan's +81 Magazine.

Injecting bubble wrap blisters with coloured water the artist has spelt out the issue's latest subject 'Next Creativity'.

The studio has created several other typographical explorations, more of which can be viewed on Design Boom here.
