Typographic Objects is a private museum of small objects from around the world featuring curious, hyperlocal, beautiful, and timeless typography in various languages. The museum is located within the workspace of KUDOS Design Collaboratory in Forest Hills (NYC). Visiting the museum is an intimate guided tour for designers, students, and educators alike.
Since its opening in December 2024, more than 350 objects have been acquired from Africa, America, Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Greece, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Netherland, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and United Kingdom. We developed an AI-powered app to read and identify any objects in the collection.

Bubu Kinetic Light
Bubu Kinetic Light
Inspired by the traditional Indonesian fish trap, the Bubu Lamp opens and closes with a quiet, mechanical grace. As it opens, the light slowly blooms—soft and weightless, like a dance in the air. When it closes, the glow fades, returning to stillness. Like the bubu, it does not chase—it waits. A quiet companion that brings light with intention, movement, and memory.
