Everyone knows them, the tin plates or the ceramic tiles in grandma’s kitchen and living room, sporting an either lighthearted or dead serious proverb. East, west, home’s best; after rain comes sunshine; the early bird catches the worm, there is nobility in labour… Each and every one of these sayings belongs to our collective memory. Apparently, the need to broadcast messages is set in our genes, as we notice a similar phenomenon popping up in the late 1980’s, this time, however, outdoors: Graffiti artists make an effort to convey a message to the masses, whether politically inspired or purely visual. Some of them draw attention to an issue, give a signal; to others it is merely a matter of claiming the public space by asserting their presence in an artful way.

 

Fascinated by both phenomena, designer franky claeys decided to rethink and condense them into a new product: Message On A Wall (MOAW), a series of isolated, simple words. A simplicity that is laid out throughout the entire design: a single font, a single height, a single material.
A simple yet ingenious system enables easy mounting on a wall.

 

SMILE, THINK, RELAX, LOVE… the lady and the master of the house communicate their heartfelt advice with a wink. Being true mood definers, the MOAW’s gently steer the humour of those entering the room.

IMPORTANT!

Please, notice that our prices include 21% VAT and shipping is not included. For orders from outside the European Union make sure which import taxes are to be paid in your country.

 

CARE

Use a clean, soft cloth, moistened with water, to clean the lettering.

Do not rinse the lettering under the hot tab.

Do not use a scourer, since this could scratch the surface.

Do not use corrosive cleaning products with components like alcohol, ammonia, or methylated spirits, but use, for example, soft soap or plastic cleaner.

 

Careful use and maintenance prolong the life of the acrylate lettering.

 

Colours will lose intensity and luster when installed outdoors or in direct sunlight.
