Shabby chic wooden lettering is still pretty popular and sets making words like “Love” and “Home” are commonplace, but these are a little more unsual, Wooden Vintage Style ZZZZ Letters.

The letters are wooden, painted white but given a distressed look to make them look vintage, when in fact they are brand new. The set comprises of four Zs and each one has a keyhole nail fixing on the back for easy hanging. It goes without saying that these would be ideal for the bedroom.

Objects of Design is selling the set of ZZZZ Letters for £33. Visit their website to order.
