your friends // A poor mans connoisseur guide… 2nd edition - Music Oslo
“After the success of our Oslo Guide from 2009 we were asked to update the guide and release a 2nd edition in conduction with Øya Festivalen 2010. In collaboration with Music Oslo and Sondre Sommerfelt (the editor), we updated the design and content to make it more functional and make room for bigger photos. The book builds on the separation between east and west in Oslo, which has a strong historical aspect of how the city has become, and how the Akerselva (river running through the whole city) have had such huge impact on Oslo itself, as well as cultural history and politics. Format: 105×180 mm, 96 pages Printer: Grøset Trykk AS”

your friends // studenthåndbok 10/11 “ABC”
“ABC is a book helping students getting familiar with their school, rules and regulations upon starting their study year. Oslo National Academy of the Arts moved to new facilities this year and all courses are now situated in the same building. Glossy paper was used throughout, and we included a section highlighting the architectural qualities of the building, which relates to the rough feel on the cover. The large industrial window, which is embossed on the cover, is one of the most essential architectural details and gives a good impression of the qualities of the building. The content was conveyed by working with hierarchies highlighting the most important parts of the texts and thus helping navigation and importance.”

your friends // utformasjon
“We were asked to curate and design an exhibition in collaboration with product designers StokkeAustad and ODL at Galleri ROM. The line-up of designers who exhibited consisted of both up and coming and veterans in the Norwegian design scene. The title refers to information and design, which is the core of the exhibition. All products on show were for sale. In setting up the room and curating the show we played with the differences between a gallery and a design store. How artwork is exhibited in a gallery vs. products in a store and how we can tell the bigger story about the products in order to give it more value. All products were dissected and the designers handed in a report stating what material, time, and efforts went into the design and production process. These facts were foiled on the floor together with materials used for the products, or tools needed to produce them. The exhibition questions how we see things, and how our perception can be challenged with small variations from what we define as “ordinary”. By changing the usage of the floor and walls, their contexts changes, and give an extra dimension to how we see the objects, especially from the second floor in the gallery. In addition to curating, we designed the interiors and signage, as well as promotional material such as posters and catalogues. The cover for the catalogue was cut out from the original poster. The end result was an exhibition showing products in an unusual way giving the viewer a new perspective on the products, and telling a new and in depth story.”
