Make Food Not War

Katinka — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 13:00:03 +0000

We are currently working on a small visual profile for Matmisjonen.no, a food blog run by Hanne Stensvold. Matmisjonen is Norwegian for the food mission.

We wanted to focus on food as delicious and nutritious, not “lo-carb”, “lo-fat” or “raw”. This lead us to the aesthetics of scandinavian illustrations from the fifties and sixties; appetising and positive, as well as charming. We turned food and kitchen utensils into missionaries spreading the glad tidings of cooking.

The new design will be launched at the end of the month. In the meantime, here is a sneak preview on some of the sketches.

A Definite Sign of Autumn

Mette Møller’s brand new store at Grünerløkka in Oslo. A nice place to find something new for your autumn wardrobe. Signage by us.

The Dark Horse

As you might have noticed, we have redesigned our website as well as our identity. The old horse is gone to where the grass is always green, and a new horse has taken its place. We feel that this horse truly reflects our spirit – it’s stronger, clearer and even more dedicated. We like the connotations to the chess knight – with its mobility it’s a versatile and strong piece. And of course; we do like the ambience of the dark horse! The little flip book animation is put together by our fab French intern Charlotte Lamy.

Welcome Mari & Katinka!

Plush Kamenatt

This plush was created for my nephew Timian when he was born. Kamenatt is awake at night. Kamenatt is very kind. Kamenatt looks scary, but it is just to chase away imaginary animals that might be in the room. Kamenatt has a magical tail that plays Brahms Lullaby and whisk away the imaginary animals. Kamenatt is Timians buddy. Check also out Plush Alenei

Felt Like Teen Spirit

The new wrapping paper just arrived from the printers, and we are very happy. The print is inspired by the Flanellograf, once state of the art technology for storytelling in the kindergarten, and (surprisingly) still on the market. The pattern is colorful and naive, and suitable for any gift. Get it at Hunting Lodge.

Plush Alenei (Don´t Be Alone)

pie — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 07:00:16 +0000

This plush was created for my niece Tilia when she was born. Alenei has magnets in it´s hands and body so it can hold around Tilia and secure that she will never be alone.
