Yum … goodies!

Our latest ad for Kay Bojesen's iconic wooden animals. Kay Bojesen was a very productive craftsman. Luckily these lovely songbirds was discovered after years in the hiding – now they are reproduced in six different colours. Thanks a lot to the talented cat Miv and all the songbirds for holding their breath.

Hurray we turn 5 years today!

It's true what the old cliché says - time flies when you're having fun. And we have had great fun, a bunch of exciting challenges and a few grey hairs.

For the past five years we have been working round the clock to create the best visual strategies. And we have been recognized for this work both nationally and internationally. So first of all thanks a million to all of our fantastic clients for believing in us and letting us play with their brands.

Now we're at it - we haven't done it all alone. So thanks to the talented team at Make® for an outstanding effort and our families for the never-ending support.

We are looking forward to many years to come.

Fresh out of the printing house

We have been part of creating this inspiring piece of communication for the Stedet Tæller campaign.

We have designed a publication that showcases inspirational examples of great places in the landscape from all over the world. Places that have been enhanced by minor architectural interventions. So we let the pictures do the talking and in between all of the examples we created visually differing spreads for expert articles.

Read more about the publication and the campaign here (in Danish).

What makes a city?

We helped Realdania Arealudvikling create an inspirational catalogue that showcases principles and solutions from parallel architectural competitions in two municipalities; Køge and Fredericia.

The catalogue is brimful of inspirational, creative and innovative solutions – useful for all cities and municipalities.

Lundbeck Annual Report & Magazine

Lundbeck asked us once again to develop, design and produce their annual report and magazine and we are so happy about that. For the past 5 months we have been working on this project and today the project is launched.

Taking the decision to create two separate publications enabled a clean and profession annual report for investors and a more storytelling approach in the magazine. This features vivid stories about people handling life with a psychiatric or neurological disease, areas where Lundbeck specializes.

Creating an identity for sky, water and everything in between

Kvæsthus Selskabet is transforming the old Kvæsthus Pier area in the heart of Copenhagen. The vision for the area is to create a unique urban setting with a rich, cultural heartbeat. The identity embraces the focalpoints of the area: synergy and interaction between people, the water and the city. The logo reflects activities above and below the waterline – and has a strong reference to the reflections of the surrounding water and the architectural lines of the area.
