The Setting.

A tall orange frame stands open in the middle of the city. No building attached to it, no wall on either side. Just the frame, and the strip of ground at the foot of it.

People walk past all day without registering that a door was ever there.


The Frame.

Look at the wordmark as it passes through and you will see it bend. NARROW DISTRICT comes out of that frame pulled out of shape, because nothing goes through a door like that and comes out the same.

That distortion is the design. It is not a style choice applied to the letters; it is what the crossing does to them.

The Width of a Door.

A threshold is a strip of wood or stone a few inches wide, worn smooth by everyone who has crossed it. It is the narrowest ground in any building, and it decides everything about where you stand.

Nobody lives on it. You are on one side or the other. BLUEPRINT // 003 covers why that narrowness is the point rather than the problem.

What Gets Worn.

Three pieces, cut for the side you end up on.

The tees join the three-pack pricing.

Cross It.

The step costs something. That is how you know which door it was.

See the full Threshold Collection, or read TRANSMISSION // 003 for the collection that starts with a turn.
