Review
“If there were any place I wish I worked that I don't, it's House. They're artists; their work is extraordinary.”—J. J. Abrams
“What I love about House Industries is that they search through corners of culture for something valuable that you'd never thought of before, then raise it to a higher artistic level. It's a very difficult thing to do.”—Shepard Fairey
“[House] makes all the best typefaces.”—David Lee Roth
