#0 Scandinavian Grapic Design
Design in Scandinavia is a growing industry where the style of design produced in these three countries is replicated around the rest of the world. During the past decades Denmark, Sweden and Norway have been known within the international design industry for their furniture and interior design companies but now there is a new wave of up and coming graphic design talent emerging from these three nations. The Scandinavian countries are known for their clean and simple designs which all have an emphasis on quality and high class. This design style is now beginning to be replicated worldwide. The information collected in this book (all case studies are listed in a random order) is all copyright to the respective owners and has been compiled directly from each studio or designers websites (direct links to each case study are also included). The information has not been altered in any way and has been kept how the particular studios and designers present themselved, whether that be in English or not. The Scandinavian mentality towards work and the design standards coming out of these three countries is a major source of inspiration to the author/curator of this book. Design Scandinavia explores twenty case studies of Scandinavian graphic design produced during the last decade and which covers the fields of brand identity, editorial and packaging design. These three areas are ones which the author also works within and each of these case studies has informed her practice at some point and on some level. Introduction by Andrea Hannah Cooper 3

Gunnarshögs Gård by Neumeister www.neumeister.se/work/gunnarshogs-gard
Gunnarshögs Gård is a farm known for its artisanal oil and food products. It has been family owned for four generations. They came to Neumeister looking for an identity that not only conveyed their legacy, but also signalled the market leading expertise they had earned over generations. With that challenge in mind, we sought to celebrate past success
with a very modern expression. Marrying a graphic drawing of the actual Gunnarshögs farm with a persistent typeface and a carefully chosen colour palette. The result is in an identity that radiates appeal and tells a story of exquisitely modern products from a family company.

Bessermachen The heart of Bessermachen is a passion for design, and that heart symbolically stands for what we burn for. We love design that does more than just create a new look or form. Because to us, design should be a direct and all encompassing reflection of a client, product or organization, and that idea is what we lead with. We work primarily within packaging and corporate identity. Design is communication. That is why Bessermachen sees packaging as a medium within itself, and simply put, winning a customer often takes place on the shelf. A thought, feeling or impression can lead to a concrete action. That is precisely why packaging is vital, whether it is for baby food, tea or muesli. So for all of those who dare to push the bar and take a step further, the possibilities are endless. Bessermachen strives to partner with these industry leaders who want to create new and exciting advances within the packaging field.

Tomorrow #3 Bestseller Trend Publication by Scandinavian Design Lab www.scandinaviandesignlab.com/en/cases/bestseller
The Task The task was to create a twice-a-year published trend-book for internal use among designers and creative artists. The book, which both in shape and content, can be used as a source of inspiration on trends in music, fashion, retail, art and sociology.  Â
The Solution Just like a chameleon the publication maintains its shape, but constantly change appearance to fit into the surroundings. As the edition is limited, a special hand-made bookbinding is chosen, which gives unlimited possibilities to experimentation with new paper qualities and other materials like leather. This made it possible to develop a unique product that offers the user a new sensual experience according to the overall theme through the many different articles.

Formul’æ is an Oslo-based perfume brand and creative collective. Sharing a great passion for their work, they focus on a traditional, hand-made approach while paying close attention to details. Using unorthodox combinations, Formul’æ aims at creating unique scents with a high-end feel. The visual concept for their identity is inspired by the past, when perfume was once a healthcare product only sold in pharmacies. The visual language of health and medicine products, which is direct and serves the
sole purpose to inform, was used to create a recognisable identity with a repertoire of few graphic elements. Formul’æ custom font – BB Perfume A neo-grotesque monospaced font made exclusively for Formul’æ. It is based on the evenly-spaced grid of old letter boards (mostly found at store entrances in the distant past). The font only consists of capital letters and is intended for use on headlines and shorter passages of text.

Frem
#11
Frem by Jonathan Faust www.jonathanfaust.com/frem A packaging redesign of “Frem” which is a Danish soft drink factory. I did twelve unique bottles and some extra packaging just to show how their full identity could look like. The factory was established in 1949 and I have focused on history, craftmanship and authenticity. All the typography is hand drawn
and the labels are white paint directly on the bottle – reveal rather than hide. The twelve display fonts are made from associations, cliches, shapes and so on. Raspberry and pear are for instance inspired by the shape of the fruit/berry and Cola is an American cliche with a typical western wood type.

O/O Brewing by Lundgren+Lindqvist www.lundgrenlindqvist.se/oo-brewing
O/O Brewing is a recently founded microbrewery, built upon a foundation of many years of home brewing. Founded by two beer connoisseurs - O/O aims for quality rather than quantity, brewing high-end beers serving as a suitable alternative to the traditional choice of wine in fine dining contexts. We designed O/O’s identity and packaging. The logotype was inspired by brewmaster
Olle Andersson’s peculiar glasses, his characteristic appearance having become somewhat synonymous with the brand. With many friends of the brewery being involved in creative disciplines - we designed the labels leaving a defined space serving as a canvas for artist collaborations. With each beer being produced in limited quantities, the labels will serve as a micro-gallery growing over time.

Friggs Premium Eco Teas

Friggs Premium Eco Teas by NINE www.nine.se/featured-case/friggs Friggs turned to NINE for support during the development of a new organic tea series, launched in Swedish stores. The project started with a Business Case, showing the potential for increased margins and for a new price level, significantly higher than for conventional organic product launches in the large supermarket chains. The Business Case included price- and cost analysis, consumer trials and estimation of market potential, and defined pre-requisites for successful implementation and launch.
Based on the Business Case and consumer preferences, NINE developed a new packaging concept for Friggs’ new premium teas. The packaging is 100% compostable, with tea bags in aroma proof cellophane envelopes. With its clean design and matte carton finish without outer plastic film, the packaging stands out in the shelf and clearly communicates the good and natural contents, and all was achieved with minimal packaging equipment adjustments.
Friggs’ objective was to match or exceed the growth of the green, red and herbal tea segment; driving the development of the segment.

As part of a branding course I was asked to pitch a new identity for the merging schools which clearly signals the spirit and the values of the new organisation. The solution

Design Scandinavia Andrea Hannah Cooper
Design in Scandinavia is a growing industry where the style of design produced in these three countries is replicated around the rest of the world. During the past decades Denmark, Sweden and Norway have been known within the international design industry for their furniture and interior design companies but now there is a new wave of up and coming graphic design talent emerging from these three nations.
Design Scandinavia explores twenty case studies of graphic design produced by studios and designers within the Scandinavian countries covering the areas of brand identity, packaging and editorial design. These case studies have been collected and compiled by the author in respose to their own working graphic design practice and all examples explored have been a source of inspiration for the author.
