Oblivion is Koleksiyon's divider panel system for office modules. For the Academy Days of the 4th İstanbul Design Biennial, I proposed new surface graphics for it, built around one word: tipografi. The audience scenario was creative directors who are fond of typography, so type became the surface. In the first pattern, the word is set in Futura capitals and layered at angles in three colourways: white on red, black on yellow and yellow on black. A second pattern scatters it as lowercase letters for the inner walls and a chair. The designs are shown as mockups, after a photo of the original blue and plum panels.

Curved red Oblivion panels wrapped in a white TIPOGRAFI word pattern around a red sofa booth, bookshelves behind.
