Glass Fragile Handle With Care
2009
Martijn Sandberg has designed a typographic pattern for the glass of the Stadshoven Weidevenne Apartment Building, Purmerend, the Netherlands.
Based on the familiar packing material of protective plastic bubble foil, a sequence of letters in a point raster materializes on the transparent glass of the gallery and balconies: 'Glass Fragile Handle With Care’.
