The modular, highly customisable Vitsœ 606 Universal Shelving System was conceived in 1957 by Dieter Rams, and effectively embodies both the form and ethos that is a defining quality of 20th Century Modernity.
Typographical communication of modularity in a form consistent with the Vitsœ's emphasis on function as a determinant of form.

Built upon the playful dissection, and re-employment of each of the word marks characters in the form of a three dimensional arrangement across the shelves of the product.
Outcome 2:
