Spiekermann House Numbers
I just returned from Berlin where we met with all the regional FontShops and the founder himself, Erik Spiekermann. The first item of business: Erik showed off his latest project for modern furnishing supplier Design Within Reach. The Spiekermann House Numbers are available in four distinct styles — Contemporary (based on FF Meta®), Tech, Classic (from the Century tradition), and Industrial (a stencil) — each come in various materials and colors. Erik oversaw the complete design and manufacturing process, all the way down to the installation guides, so not only will you have the slickest address on the block, but you can be sure these pretty little pieces of hardware are easy to apply.

Very cool. One suggestion: these would look even better with flat-head, stainless-steel, hex screws (that would also make the numbers less easy to steal).
Are Design Within Reach the only suppliers of this product?
Is there another company who will deliver to Wales within the UK?
that stencil 5 would make a killer coffee table..
Where can you buy the stencil door numbers from? DWR don’t stock them any more.
They’re still sold in the Bauhaus Shop at Bauhaus Archiv in Berlin…..a whopping €49 each.
