If I Had A Hammer…

bjorn — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 21:32:26 +0000

I’d hammer in the morning, I’d hammer in the evening… Seriously! Our beloved client Mette Møller was amused, but not entirely convinced by our carpentry skills, so we agreed on a slightly different approach. The final ad (which, we must admit, is more structurally sound) can be seen in the OFW magazine to be launched at the Oslo Fashion Week. See the final illustration here.

Sketches for a Treehouse Pattern

First sketches for a new textile pattern made for Mette Møller. Inspiration is drawn from the 50′s song book “Syng med Barna” (Sing with the Children) and this strange little poem: Den som er liten og ikkje fer sove, han kan gå i skogen og byggja seg ei stove, ospelauv og bjørkelauv det skal han ha til tak, oksekjøt og kveitebrød det skal han ha til mat, i si vesle stove. (The little one who can’t sleep, he can go out in the woods and build a cabin. He can use leaves from birch and aspen for roof, and eat beef and white bread.) The pattern is built over children’s treehouses, at the same time constructed and organic, and made with great visions and hope for the future. A further developed version of the treehouse pattern will appear in Mette Møllers summer 2010 collection.

Norwegian Weather Pattern Sketches

HQ — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:00:38 +0000

First sketches for the Norwegian Weather pattern made for fashion designer Mette Møller’s summer collection 2009. We wanted to make something very Norwegian to emphasis on the origin of her clothes, and chose the ever changing Norwegian weather with 70′s prefab houses as a theme. All the houses are drawn from photos– they were for sale at “Finn” at the moment. You can see the finished pattern in use here , and buy the finished items here.

Sketches for textile pattern

maria — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:47:56 +0000

Sketches for a new textile pattern for Mette Møller. We wanted to keep the Norwegian theme from the “Norwegian Weather pattern”, and work with typical Norwegian houses, and multiply, layer and deconstruct them in to a pattern.

Aquarelle sketches

Two sketches for the Fretex campaign we did for the advertising agency Kitchen.

A Different View

maria — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 07:45:28 +0000

Sketch for a fashion eyewear campaign. With a twist of 60′s psychedelia, we thought this would be a nice take on the well-worn advertising phrase “What you see is what you get”, literally turning the whole experience inside out.

Yes, it’s her

The classic bob and the glasses, and suddenly you have Anna Wintour.
