Letterproeftuin — Rotterdam, Netherlands

It started life as a one-week workshop where the trio collaborated with other designers in a self-built graphic laboratory. The success of this event led the team to go mobile and create a micro-printing factory called The Smallest Printing Company, an exclusive installation comprising a Viprotech silk-screen table and a scale model of the legendary Roco-Ets V50 printing press.

In a world where design and digital have almost become synonymous, three Dutch designers have come together to form a collaborative unit called Letterproeftuin, a travelling open-source design workshop that emphasises the creative process of print-making and exhibits the results.
