Halvor Bodin
> graphics illustration
You all know I love and live for design. But next to design, film and movies is my biggest passion. And when the two of the combine – I get completely over exited. In 2009 I snook around the city of Oslo, trying to steel a perfect sample of the poster to the international filmfestival made by Halvor Bodin. I simply love his style! Last week it was time for the Visuelt award in Norway and Bodin won- this time for the poster for the 2010 edition of international filmfestival. Here you can see both the amazing posters, and I am already exited about this years design and festival! Read more…
Congratulation to Fuglen!
> concept furnitures graphics interior
From Designers Day 2011:
One of the categories I was most exited about for the award of design excellency, was this years newcomer category: Services. I was happy to see that a small and charming coffee shop named Fuglen was one of the first two receivers of the award in this category. Fuglen is a coffee shop during the day, a cocktail bar at night and a full-time interior design store selling furniture and design objects from the 50s and 60s. In their retro-inspired design profile made by Rockberry, they’ve managed to integrate modern elements and technology such as Qr-codes. The design profile and the retro-feeling is implemented in all aspects – the interior, the website, the shop and the coffee bar. If your ever in Oslo, Fuglen is a place to visit!
Pino
> concept graphics interior
Finally spring has started to arrive even i Norway, and I feel in desperate need of a colors. Pino is a fresh and colorful store from Finland, that really brought some color to my day! Pino sells unique, functional and innovative design objects and the idea for the concept came from the name of the shop, which means a ‘pile’ or ‘stack’ in Finnish. I love how the design and concept has been developed in both printed materials and interior by Bond Creative Agency, which gives it a playful, though trough and unique look. Take you Tine for the tip! More pictures after the jump….
Maemo
> graphics interior
Maemo is a new ecological gourmet restaurant in Oslo, which I can’t wait to go to. So fare I have only read great critics about it, and it doesn’t exactly make it less interesting with a great visual profile and a cool interior. Placed in the new harbour area with a lot of windows you get the industrial-chic vibe. The design for Maaemo is inspired by Scandinavian nature and architecture. The design reflects on lines, shapes, rhythm and light creating a poetic, Nordic modernism and was made by Torgeir Hjetland and Ludvig Bruneau Rossow.
King Bansah
> concept graphics
Not everyone can say they’ve done the design for a King but the German designer Julian Zimmermann actually can. On his website he says “King Bansah is an African King. He lives and works in Ludwigshafen/Germany as a car-mechanic and governs his people from there. King Bansah does a lot of activities and performances to collect money for his aid projects. He is a singer, a guest in TV-shows and events. But he is a real King with a serious background.”
Zimmermann has created a beautiful and decorative identity for King Bansah, and I love how he have managed to create the perfect balance between a minimalistic and clean style and the decorative, African elements. This design is definitely a king worthy! More pictures after the jump.
