(Selected) works

Ingela Ihrman, Queen of the Night

Book design for artist Ingela Ihrman’s first monograph, featuring works spanning 20 years of her artistic practice. The title refers to the cactus flower “Queen of the Night,” which blooms for one single night each year. The book’s form was inspired by the flower, with the cloth on the cover representing the cactus’s rough, branching arms while the inlay of the book takes the shape of the flower: colored paper represents the dark red and orange outer petals, while the majority of the pages are white, carrying texts and images of Ingela’s work. At the center, a yellow section holds three ribbon markers representing the flower’s pistils. The typeface is a modified version of Plantin, in which all lowercase “o”s in the headings have been transformed into flower buds, each decorated with small petals.

Housing a Critical Re-Thinking Within the Collections

Graphic design for a project exploring how to collect, and how graphic print collections can be engaged with today. As part of the visual identity, the typeface Dual Unionist by the Justseeds collective is used. A work that takes archival material from North American labor movements and resonates it. The letterforms expand, contract, adapt to surrounding space, or assert themselves across it. In 2027, we will be working on a publication about the project. The image shows brochures from the three exhibitions that formed part of the project.

Reading the Signs—Distinction-Making Nostalgia in Swedish Postwar Suburbs

Book design for graphic designer and researcher Maryam Fannis dissertation. The choise of type corresponds to themes as memory loss, deja-vu and problems one might encounter while approaching the past. The cover image is a shredded photo of a newly produced neon sign in the Stockholm suburb of Hökarängen, arranged in a way that makes the image move both forward and back simultaneously and makes the text of the sign impossible to read.

Stadskampsarkivet (The Right to the City-archive)

Logotype, stamps and adaptation of the Times New Roman font for Stadskampsarkivet that collects, reprints and distributes graphic material from demonstrations and urban political campaigns from the Swedish ”right to the city”-movement.

Coffee cups printed with a quote from Swedish writer Tage Danielsson, a rhyme that celebrates the amateur. On the bottom of the cup there is a print with the hose logotype which is visibly by the one sitting in front of you while drinking from the cup.

Map to Re-Learning the Archive

Re-Learning the Archive is a development project with the ambition to expand the Nybro design archive with alternative design histories. I have created a map that brings together the active sites for design included in the project. The map was made during a residency at Lessebo Handpappersbruk. The paper used for the map was produced by the papermakers at the mill, using pulp containing leaves and soil from the Småland forest. Instead of navigating by major man-made roads, lakes and waterways are what guide the way.

The map has travelled together with the exhibition ’Round Here—Local and Global Stories from Småland on the Nybro design archive and Form/Design Center in Malmö. Now it has found its permanent home at the Nybro design archive.

Supporter scarf for Hägerstensåsens medborgarhus

Part of an ongoing project focused on hand made signage in the house. The quote Everything that is necessary is possible is borrowed from a small pamphlet on culture and popular education from 1908 that has inspired the work team. The text is framed by a pattern from the house facade.
