Spiekermann House Numbers
I just returned from Berlin where we met with all the regional FontShops and the founder himself, Erik SpiekÂermann. The first item of business: Erik showed off his latest project for modern furnishing supplier Design Within Reach. The SpiekÂermann House Numbers are available in four distinct styles — ContemÂporary (based on FF Meta®), Tech, Classic (from the Century tradition), and IndusÂtrial (a stencil) — each come in various materials and colors. Erik oversaw the complete design and manufacÂturing process, all the way down to the instalÂlation 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).
