Ogeborg is a Swedish, family-owned, manufacturer and supplier of high-quality carpet to the commercial sector, partnering with real estate owners, architects and interior designers since 1968. Stockholm based graphic design studio Kurppa Hosk worked with Ogeborg to develop a new strategy, visual identity treatment and website that would not only reflect some of the culture of the business but would help them to distinguish themselves within a market that appeared to offer little in the way of differentiation. The project extended to bags, swatch book, business cards and sign.

Two of Us is a new British design studio run by Ash O’Brien and Ian Caulkett working from Brighton and Birmingham. Together they specialise in brand identity design, have a philosophy that is based around an honesty and openness in the sharing of feedback, and individual styles and skill sets that when working together complement each other. As an alternative to large studios, the duo choose to pick out the small-scale and personal two-man nature of their business with a simple naming strategy and visualised as a contrast of type detail, type size and of colour. this runs across business cards, letterhead, parcel stickers and website.

Woodland Wine Merchant is described by Perky Bros, the design studio behind its new visual identity, as a tidy and eclectic wine store in Nashville, Tennessee that carefully curates wines from artisan producers practicing natural and sustainable methods, and hunts for and gathers the best value wines from around the world.
Perky Bros’ identity solution was inspired by the collision of two worlds—the natural, and the store’s unadorned and modern 1960’s qualities. This manifests itself as a red fox logo—an animal indigenous to the area—a woodland green paper choice, the utility of type selection and its typesetting, gridless mid-century layouts and the robust and practical wood of the interior. The project went on to include signage, labels, business cards and packaging.
