Catalogue for Faire Made, an exhibition inviting a group of young swedish fashion designers to show haute couture from an ecological perspective. Faire Made was shown during the fashion week, Stockholm International Fairs, in February 2007.

Our basic aim was to produce an organic sustainable printed matter. We wanted to adjust the ranking of values where informations about the production process often are mentioned incidentally, hidden in colophones. The *FSC certificate itself serve as a front cover and the designers present their collections by exploiting material used and its origin.

The catalogue also contains an interview with Noreena Hertz by Sofia Wiberg. The exhibition was curated by Aia Jüdes and produced by Sanna Gebeyehu (Style at STHLM).

*FSC is an international organisation that encourages the viable ecological, socially responsible and economical utilisation of the world's forests. The FSC label is used on products that contributes to a certified forestry. In Sweden the label can be found on grill coal and furnitures.

Exibition design and graphic profile for Playing the Building, David Byrne at Färgfabriken. In Playing the Building David Byrne plays with the fact that Färgfabriken is housed in an old factory space. When we were invited to make a graphic identity for the exhibition our basic idea was to mind and use the history of the building, in order to find another way to play with the same building. In the 19th century Färgfabriken was an old paint factory.

The graphic language is therefore inspired by photos and documents from the time when it was still used as a fabric. We dismantled all existing signs (such as; »Max 450 people in building«, »Exit«, »No photos«, »Building under surveillance« etc.) replacing the same information directly on the walls using Le Corbusier stencils and industrial Marsh Ink. In the same language we also add signs like; »Have fun«, »Feel free to play« etc. Posters, booklets and invitations is inspired by our own signage system.

The worries when being compelled to delete charming sms to make ways for new ones, made us think of a solution for collecting and saving them forever. We decided to establish an archive system for our favourite sms by transforming them into time durable rubber stamps. A custom made font based on the typography of our cellphones and an Illustrator template, with the same dimensions as the display, represents an easy process for doing so. We are passing them on to others by using them when sending real letters.

Exhibition design and catalogue for Artist Clothing. Artist Clothing was initiated by artist Ulrika Gunnarsdotter and is a project investigating the relation between art and fashion, inviting artists to make their own collections within a predetermined context.

For the autumn 2005 collection A.C. invited the artists Lena Malm and Charlotte Enström. Their collections were shown in Fältöversten, a mainstream shopping center in Stockholm. We were delighted by the thought of using the same methods of reasoning as the commersial actors. By travesting existing shop signs the collections were competing under the same conditions as any surrounding brand. This set of lightboxes served as signage for the exhibition but also as backdrops for the catwalk. We noticed that everyone entering the shopping center were grabbing Östermalmsnytt, the lokal paper, lying in custom made racks. Thus, when making the exhibition catalogue, we used the same tabloid format as the lokal paper, claiming the same rack. Our custom made font »Neon« was based on the technique of bending flourescent lamps. Thanks to Filip Tydén and Mattias Jacobsson.

Graphic design for Sthlm at Large, a book about the future of Stockholm. Published by Färgfabriken, 2004.

F•ärgfabriken invited politicians, architects and city planners to discuss and participate in a series of workshops about the expanding city of Stockholm. This book would serve as a documentation for these discussions and workshops, containing theoretical essays and chronicals. Our solution is to design a book like a manual or perhaps a guide. The pvc cover with its durability allows the book to be opened and read over and over again. We invited the artists Adams, Akay and Bajki to devide or break in between the literary material, showing projects where they, in different ways, are claiming public spaces. The book is available in five different colours avoiding associations with any political party.
