Some things are quite difficult to explain to other than Norwegians, but I will give it a try: Stangeland Mølle is a producer of different types of flavors and 1-2-3 packs so that you easy can make food like Komle (a strange Norwegian dish of potato-balls), and Havrekjeks (oat biscuits) but also more traditional stuff like scones and muffins. A good friend of mine, Camilla Rosenlund, has together with Proconta agency done their new profile and packaging’s and I love the simple, clean and colorful look!

Almost a year ago (wow time really does fly) I came across Mouse graphic agency from Greece, and I totally fell in love with their design, especially the design on the cement bags. Here are some of their latest packaging works, and they still impress me. Somehow they manage to balance their style between being modern with simple lines and bold letters, and a more romantic and rustic style.

I am fortunate enough to have a lot of really talented friends and this time I want to introduce you to Anja Niemi. She is a Norwegian photographer, and last year she exhibited the series: ”porcelain” both in Norway and London. I do have a soft spot for animal, so its not a surprise that I adore the horse motifs, but I also love how she has worked with the black on black/ white on white effect. To see more photos check out Anjas Blog or webpage.
