Skovin is Norwegian, high-end, solid wood floor specialist that combines ancient craftsmanship with modern technologies. By mixing a wood veneer business card and a traditional name drawn from the old word Skøyen, the area in Oslo where the company was founded, with geometric shapes and die cuts, panels of flat colour and sans-serif typography, Skovin’s identity, designed by Heydays, intends to express the company’s fusion of past and present process.

Carin Wilson is a renowned furniture maker, sculptor, design educator and leader of the New Zealand craft movement throughout the 1970s, 80s and 90s. As well as precisely crafted functional furniture, Carin also creates pieces that look to explore narrative through alternative form — check out his work Royal Pain in the Arse — and are influenced by his Maori heritage.
Carin Wilson’s new brand identity was designed by Auckland based Studio Alexander and recently announced as a finalist in this year’s Best Awards. By leveraging the traditional values typically associated with the craftsman’s monogram and using a contrast of heavy fill and fine lines, type size and weight, colour and the absence of colour, material choice, print finish and bilingual background online, the solution neatly resolves the heritage, craft and functionality of Carin’s work.
