Garant Såklart
Garant is one of Axfood’s (Willys and Hemköp) private brands. They have over the past year undergone a redesign and line extension. One of the new line of products is Garant Såklart, a series of eco friendly detergents, soaps and body lotions. Garant Såklarts packaging is designed by Bas Brand Identity who has created a lovely font heavy design that stands out and doesn’t look like a classic, boring eco brand.Go on
Kongress Bar
Kongress Bar in Munich looks like the perfect 1950s dandy hangout, but the restaurant was opened just last year. The impeccable interior, as well as the wonderful identity, was designed by the German design agency Designliga. I’m really impressed with the details of Kongress Bar and it’s one of the best executed project I’ve seen in a long time. Next time I’m in Munich you’ll find me at the bar with beautiful bow tie around my neck.Go on
Toys from Acne
Acne is probably most know for their jeans but to me they are Netbaby World and cool websites from when the Internet was young. Unfortunately, Netbaby World is nowadays nothing more than a burial site of times past but Acne is still going strong, creating cool and interesting products. Most recent Acne JR and their wonderful toys that easily could double as interior design pieces. Pics after the jump of course.Go on
Another Shirt Please
Swedish Another Shirt Please makes limited edition, timeless shirts. And timeless fashion needs a timeless identify and that’s exactly what Planet Creative has designed for the small fashion house. I’m a sucker for stamps and wax seals and from the look of things so are Planet Creative and Another Shirt Please. More photos of the identity can be found after the jump and if you to buy a shirt, sorry, they are currently all out of stock.Go on
Bar Gelato
I’m not the biggest lover of ice cream but if I do eat it I go for italian gelato or sweet, sweet Ben & Jerry’s. And if I were to eat with my eyes today I would go for a Bar Gelato from California based Gelateria Naia. The gelato bars have lovingly been packaged by danish born, Portland based designer Mette Hornung Rankin in cooperation with Substance. More photos of the identify and gelato bars after the jump.Go on
Apló table
I haven’t seen too many tables constructed out Corian, a bit surprising considering how strong and adaptable it is. Designer Hidetaka Morinaga have chosen to use the solid surface material for his Apló table and managed to bind it with beautifully crafted solid oak legs. And as know “less is more” and the “beauty is in the details”, for Apló that means the rounded legs and how seamless the legs screws into the tabletop. More photos after the jump of course!Go on
Jackie by Åsa Jungnelius
Designer Åsa Jungnelius makes her first appearance as a designer for Kosta Boda with the glassware series Jackie. The series includes three glasses, bowls and vases. I’m not a fan of the blows or the vases but I do like the simplicity of the glasses. The dripping gold effect is just lovely!Go on
Mombasa Club Gin
I don’t know that much about gin and based on what I’ve seen on TV and film I take it you just use the juniper berry flavored spirit for gin and tonics or perhaps martinis. But I can guess that outside the movies there is as much nerdiness in the gin world as there is in the whiskey or cognac world. Not knowing that much about gin doesn’t stop me from posting about Mombasa Club Gin. A gin distilled in London and bottled in a wonderful, classically ornamented bottle designed by Luis Vázquez from Typesense.Go on
T&Cake
Next week established restauranteurs Tracy and Stephen Jackson opens their latest venture, T&Cake in Almondbury, Yorkshire. Behind the inviting colors, playful logotype and the cleaver us of the “bite” we find the design agency Build. A modern identity for a modern café.
