Most of the time we use black paint in the printshop but it is something special with colour as well.
It’s really exciting when we stand there with the primary colors: cyan, magenta, yellow, white and black and try to concretize the idea of a colour we have in mind.
Here is the new colours, GREEN, BROWN and VIOLET
The idea came up for the first time when we biked around looking for numbers for urbnCal 2012 in Helsinki, where many of the street numbers were placed on light cubes. One of the ideas with our wall calendar urbnCal was to make something physical in a digital world. In this calendar we are taking it one step further, the cubes are meant to be handled daily and turned to the current date. Another important […]
We call them mini and they are so small that they are just right to keep along with a smartphone (60 x 105 mm) to quickly scribble down what comes into your mind!
Our mini have the same basis as Jollygood Notebooks, 64 pages of the same lovely silky paper (Munken Pure 100g) thick enough so that the ink does not go through. They have no extra cover, the motifs are carved in rubber (by […]
A pen on a piece of paper is something very special for us. Sometimes there is no app that can compete with a physical notebook.
Here are nice pages from our wall calendar urbnCal and test prints from the screenprint workshop given new life as covers for our notebooks. We cut up and select nice parts to match the cover.
For the inlay we have felt our way through several papers to get to the ultimate, an […]
Ĉu vi parolas Esperanton? (Do you speak Esperanto?)
It’s really fascinating this ambitious idea to create a new language to foster harmony between people. Esperanto is, after 125 years, still spoken, but I guess English is hard to compete with (which we also use on this web site). If it wasn’t for M. A. Numminen we might not have thought about it that much. But a language he knows and even sings in must be worth a hand […]
We had a fantastic release party, people have left, but a tree full of next year’s days remain.
Sisaret is the Finnish word for sisters, you can read more about the print “Sisaret” and have a look at the tote bag – version here.
The poster is screen printed by hand on heavy off-white (Munken Pure 240g) uncoated swedish paper.
Size: 46×64 cm (18×25 inches) Stamped title and signed with pencil (which you can also see in the picture below).
For us it has been a lot of numbers in recent years, so now it’s time for some characters.
The inspiration for this print comes from our new hometown Malmö (in the southern part of Sweden). A city where about 50% of the population has other native languages than Swedish. The ABÇ-plansch, an extended abc-poster, is our way of celebrating the great variety of expressions and a chance for us to enjoy […]
