Me callaré en el pasillo del idiota

29 août 2012 ~ CHRISTIAN POULOT

During my holidays i go back to Institution Sainte Marie (founded in 1849), my college/high school (boys only at that time) located at La Seyne sur Mer (south of France).

Our professor, M. Rubio was in front of us, hands behind is back walking with a military march. We took this corridor to go to spanish lessons when i was in college. The « journey » in the darkness seemed endless and we mess around a lot, it was fun.

Unfortunately most of the time when we arrived in the classroom, the last to the right (see photo above), M. Rubio pointed one of us and tell him this sentence: « Me callaré en el pasillo del idiota » (i’ll shut up in the fool’s hall) . The pupil knew then that he had been chosen to copy this sentence a hundred of times for the next course…

One of the 6 huge playgrounds, on this one i played furious football games during lunch time.

You recognize this guy…

Ace Hotel NYC, a typographic journey

20 août 2012 ~ CHRISTIAN POULOT

Ace Hotel NYC, 20 West 29th Street

In Midtown Manhattan the wholesalers slowly leave the place to trendy boutiques like Maison Kitsuné. In a couple of year Midtown Manhattan will be the next spot for the trendsetters. Ace choose the heart of this district to open one of their hotel where the history of a building meets design and arts.

At Ace NYC I like the use of (what it seems to be) Akzidenz-Grotesk font for the signings. I like the graphic design feeling that Roman & Williams, the firm which design the interiors, gave to this place.

It is all about typo.

Serif fonts. Even with chalk handwriting a special attention is paid to typography…
