Bendita Gloria 2010
2010 is the name of a wine to share with friends and celebrate the beginning of the new year. This product has been elaborated using organic farming methods without herbicides, pesticides or aggressive chemical filtrations. It's a limited numbered edition of 2010 bottles.
The label is a poster that wraps the bottle with the help of a rubber band without using adhesives. Once the wine is finished the bottle can be returned and the label has also a second life as a poster with this message about 2010: "Got the feeling it's gonna be a good year". Cheers!

Økologisk steinbakt mel
In the concept development process, the importance of making an environmentally friendly, functional, flexible and efficient packaging was highlighted. Also, the identity should challenge the existing visual language in the flour category. The result is simple and unique, with fresh colours on the labels as the only differentiator between the 6 variants. Premium flour ground with love.
Økologisk steinmalt mel = Organic stone-ground flour.
Vi lager ekte mel av gamle original kornsorter. Dette bevarer næringsstoffene og den gode smaken. = We produce real flour from ancient traditional grain types. This preserves the nutrients and the great taste.

Elyjah: Planet, Planet.
The Songs on Elyjah's debut album is both playful and atmospheric, it leaves a lasting impression. To ensure that that message was conveyed to the customer, we fired pellets at all two thousand covers. They circle like planets around a fixed point. Returning to a time in which men had morals in their hearts and cloth handkerchiefs in their trouser pockets, we put the band in Herr von Eden suits and then printed the large-format photos by hand. Typographically, we continued this theme with two typefaces from that time period: Memphis, from Emil Rudolph Weiß (1929) and the Wieynck Gotisch from Heinrich Wieynck (1926) were put into use on an old Heidelberg printing machine.
