Design House Stockholm

Packaging, 2020

Packaging design for Stockholm based design publishers Design House Stockholm. Developed in close collaboration with Design House Stockholm’s inhouse design team.

Design House Stockholm was founded in 1992 with the ambition to be a “Publishing House for Scandinavian Design”. Without the limitations of its own facilities or salaried product designers the company was free to publish any idea it liked within the field of design. We wanted to translate the designer’s process into the packaging, depicting the objects in handmade sketches and collages.

In collaboration with

Jacob Bang, art director and designer, Design House Stockholm.
Hampus Färdig, digital strategist, Design House Stockholm.
Åsa Johansson, calligraphy.

To highlight the company’s interest in the individual process of the designer we wanted to include hand crafted and spontanious parts, such as crude illustrations and hand written typography, to the packaging.

Every item within the Design House Stockholm product range is based upon a strong idea or story. Included in the retail hang tag is texts about the designers thoughts and the brand’s first impressions of the presented idea. For shorter, information-based texts the monospaced typeface Pitch is used as an alternative. Pitch is designed by the New Zealand based foundry Klim.
