photos of numbers :: 346, 10 & 3
You can tell the UK’s had a little bit of sunshine recently from these pics, can’t you?! The top one was spotted when I was hurrying along a street in East London – I’m never in too much of a rush to stop for a good number! The middle one was a lovely surprise on a long...
photos of numbers :: 80, 2 & 2
I was recently given a tour of Conran HQ and I was very excited to spot all these numbers while I was there! The first is a cushion Design by Conran have created for American homeware brand JCPenny. I loved the grey 80 in amongst all the blue numbers. Each floor in the building is...
photos of numbers :: 010 – 020, 26 & 6
More photos of numbers from Milan Design Week – I loved the stencil-style typeface used in the first one; the branding of an event at 010 – 020 Via Ventura, in the Ventura Lambrate district. The 26 in the middle was on a vintage light used to illuminate the lights on display in the Studio Job...

This week’s photos of numbers come straight from Milan Design Week. The first one is attached to Stick Insect by Bogdan Kosack, a gorgeous little vase elevated by sticks or pencils. The second one was on a poster spotted in Ventura Lambrate and the last one was part of Milan Smells by Olivia Alice and Kate...
photos of numbers :: 146, 11 1/2 & 125
I spotted 146 while sheltering from the rain on High Holborn. I love the atmospheric shadows cast across the number – it almost has a film noir feel about it. And “eleven and a half” is an old favourite of mine from Fournier Street in East London. The 125 was spotted on a poster in...
photos of numbers :: 12, 1 & 2008
A few from the archives this week… the 12 is another one from Falcon Enamelware – what a treasure trove of numbers! The 1 is from my trip to Cologne at the beginning of the year and from my basic grasp of the German language I’m guessing it indicates a 1st class waiting room –...
photos of numbers :: 642, 5 & 101
This week’s numbers are big! The rather uncompromising metal 642 was spotted in Fulham (I especially love the perforated sheet metal behind), and the big 5 was in Stockholm back in January. The 101 was on Commercial Street. I love the grey, solid confidence of these numbers – nothing too showy, just very sure of...
photos of numbers :: 2, 21 & 2
This week’s photos of numbers are just one away from being all twos – and they were all spotted within an hour of each other! Technically, I was at Falcon Enamelware to shoot their studio for a creative spaces post, but I never can resist a good number… The first one is a sample, numbered for reference,...
photos of numbers :: 81, 3 & 55
It’s very hard to take a day off when you love what you do. It was my birthday this weekend, so I was supposed to be switching off for the weekend, but who could walk past these beauties without snapping them?! Number 81 was above a doorway on Southwalk Street. Number 3, as one keen...
photos of numbers :: 179, 30 & 21
Another selection of numbers from London’s East End this week; the 179 is on the wall of The English Restaurant on Crispin Street just opposite Spitalfields Market. I love the way it is framed in the same way as all the old maps, documents and photographs and the way the colour matches the fire alarm...
photos of numbers :: 24b, 123 & 40
I seem to be spending an inordinate amount of time in East London at the moment, which is not like geeky little me at all! Still, since I was there, I thought I might as well snap a few numbers for you. The first one, for those that don’t recognise it, is the door to...
photos of numbers :: 5, 32 & 429
The fives obviously have it, because I thought last week’s five was in the running for best number ever, but I do think this one is pretty cool too – spotted in the snow at Maison et Objet in Paris. The 32 in the middle is on a slightly smaller scale, but also spotted at...
