Law
of
The Land
In 2024, the National Library of Norway celebrated the 750th anniversary of the country's first legal code to be applied nationwide: Magnus the Lawmender's National Law. The poster designs created for this milestone focused on capturing the essence of the law through a modern visual approach.
The posters highlighted quirky and poetic aspects of the laws, that dates back to the 13th century. To mention some, the laws could contain things such as chasing culprits “to the mountains, forests, ships, or shores” or allowing fish to be thrown onto fields during herring seasons. By highlighting a variety of carefully selected legal provisions, we offered people a unique glimpse into medieval life, which became the foundation for the visual storytelling.
Each poster featured an individual law from the Codex Hardenbergianus, a manuscript from the 14th century, paired with illustrations carefully referenced from the book and reimagined in a new context. By digitally processing the illustrations as well as adapting the historical details from the law, the design created a bridge between past and present, breathing new life into the history while still honoring their rich craftsmanship.
It was essential to develop a design system for the visual expression that was structured, scalable, and practical. This ensured consistency across all touchpoints while allowing flexibility for various formats and platforms. By creating a well-organized system, we could efficiently adapt the design for exhibitions, publications, digital content, and educational materials, making the design cohesive and easy to implement on a national scale.

400
Years Alive
In 1624, Oslo burned to the ground. King Christian IV ordered the city rebuilt further west and gave it a new name after himself, Christiania. But who was this king really, and what was life like for the people who lived behind the walls of Akershus Fortress four centuries ago?
Together with the Norwegian Armed Forces Museum, we created a digital installation to celebrate Oslo turning 400 years old. The exhibition features real-time 3D avatars powered by conversational AI, each based on historical Norwegian figures living at the time. Through a combination of technology, storytelling, and design, museum visitors can engage in lifelike conversations with people from the past, hearing the stories, thoughts, and voices of those who helped shape Oslo as we know it today.

Release for
"Tøyen Holding 3"
"Tøyen Holding 3" represents a sophisticated endeavour to evolve the visual narrative associated with the Rap Duo's latest release. Tasked with pushing the envelope beyond the duo's established DIY aesthetic.
Central to the project's design concept was the intention to establish a profound connection with the city of Oslo. Not by depicting it directly but by representing its essence. This strategic departure from previous design approaches, characterized by playful scribbles and explicit hip-hop references, aimed to cultivate a more mature and timeless aesthetic. Taking inspiration from the modern realism of the legendary Norwegian sculptor Gustav Vigeland, aiming to align the album's visual expression with the symbolic depth and sophistication of his works.
The visual execution of "Tøyen Holding 3" involved a deliberate selection of elements that resonate with the musical and thematic essence of the work. Gothic fonts and imagery reminiscent of the municipal coat of arms seen on Gevrey-Chambertin wine labels were employed to nod to the duo's penchant for wine references, seamlessly blending these cultural homages with their distinctive sound. A novel approach was taken with the wine labels affixed to the album cover, which were meticulously matched to traditional Burgundian wine labels in size, weight, and texture, ensuring an authentic replication of these elements.

The campaign is DN's most culturally successfull campaign ever. It was shared by multiple influencers, as well as joked about for almost three minutes on the biggest podcast in the country.
