link: High Design Holiday 2011 at RX

At the RX annual benefit on March 12, 2011, HallMfg was on site running the Renga Game and Site Stamp.

Renga Game was an opportunity for guests to engage with a wall of RX keywords. Game contestants organized words into a renga poem. At the end of the evening, RX staff voted on the most resonant entry. Today you are invited to take this model of the winning entry. In 2012 we are producing this as cast iron commemorative signage for RX.
Aims of this project are to inspire a playful engagement with the RX organizational key messages. Thanks to all of the Renga Game players, and congrats to Cynthia Smith for the winning entry shown in the photograph here.

This project uses RXtype: a font produced during Site Stamp at the same event in March 2011. Clay impressions were pulled from the RX inventory of objects and materials on site. Those stamps were then quickly shaped into three dimensional letterforms.
