Den Gamle By
Visual identity

Taking an evolutionary approach, we have designed a new visual identity for Den Gamle By – rooted in its past and designed for today.

Rather than starting over, we built on what was already there, refining the existing logomark and evolving its distinctive lettering into a new typeface inspired by historic Danish lettering traditions found throughout the museum. As Den Gamle By is experienced in many different ways – from signs and physical surroundings in the historic streets to campaigns, social media and digital platforms – the design system is flexible, bringing together typography, colour, imagery, pictograms, graphic frames and layout principles to create a coherent visual language with room for variation across formats and contexts.

A massive thank you to the entire DGB team for the great collaboration and for the trust.

Developed in collaboration with Rasmus Thomsen, Frederik Øst and the team at Den Gamle By.

1:1 Landskab
Visual Identity

1:1 Landskab’s visual identity draws from the principles that define the studio’s approach to landscape architecture. The logo is inspired by the meeting between structure and nature. Like a carefully planned planting that gradually evolves into something freer over time, it reflects the relationship between order and growth.

Building on this principle, the identity balances precision with softness, and structure with movement, creating an expression that feels timeless, honest and dynamic.

Developed in close collaboration with the 1:1 team, the project was shaped by the studio’s thorough brand strategy work, leading to valuable conversations and shared reflections that strengthened both the process and the final outcome.

A sincere thank you to the entire 1:1 team for the trust and inspiring collaboration.

We have been shortlisted for this year’s CCA → Type Design for DR – Danmarks Radio.

Since 2019, we have been working on DR’s bespoke type family, DR Publik.
Rounded is the newest extension of the superfamily. It moves from elegant and refined in the lighter weights to softer, fuller, and more playful in the heaviest. 

Thanks to DR for the trust and for a great collaboration — we look forward to following it through to the grand final!

Kunsthal Spritten (KS)
Visual Identity - Website - Brand Strategy

Kunsthal Spritten marks a new chapter in the history of De Danske Spritfabrikker. As the former distillery transforms into a thriving kunsthal, its redesigned visual identity and website reflect this evolution — bridging industrial heritage with a contemporary cultural vision.

With the redesigned website, Kunsthal Spritten prioritizes clarity, usability, and conscious design choices. An integrated eco-mode further reduces the site’s environmental footprint, reflecting a commitment to responsible transformation — both architecturally and digitally.
