Every result is a rich object node — parts, materials, provenance, lineage — not a list card.
The topology of design knowledge.
Typotheca is a search instrument for designed objects — industrial design, furniture, fashion, and architecture — indexed at the object, part, material, and lineage level, and explored as a living map rather than a results page.
Focus an object and the camera glides to it; related work surfaces around your focus and recedes as you move on.
Lineage, material systems, and era threads reveal the topology of design history across domains.
Verified · attributed · inferred on every record. Sources stay visible; images stay referenced, never copied.
Records are drawn from open-access museum collections, brand catalog references, and live catalog monitoring. Every object carries usage rights and a confidence class:
