Something to smile about

One of the most clever projects at the Philadelphia Design Awards (which we posted about here), is the Optimism Script chair designed by 160over90 for Design Within Reach

Black and white, beautiful typography, and happy words and phrases -- all on one good looking chair (chair originally designed by Paulo Mendes da Rocha). Product design doesn't get much better than this!

(By the way, doesn't it look like this chair is smiling at you? Great photography.)

The print ad campaign for the Optimism Script chair is fantastic, too. We like the contrast of the modern chair placed in front of distressed, urban backgrounds. It's the headlines, though, that really captured our attention.

PUT ON A HAPPY SPACE


HAPPINESS IS AROUND THE CORNER


HAPPINESS IS WHERE YOU FIND IT


GO FOR IT!


Our favorite? HAPPY GO LUCKY

So creative and yet it all seems so simple.  Aren't those the best kind of ads? You can read more about this project from 160over90 here on their blog.
