Talor&Jørgen is a Norwegian speciality coffee roastery and coffee subscription service delivering small boxes of freshly roasted beans, sourced from across the globe, to subscribers based on their drinking habits rather than to a schedule. Product naming focuses on bringing to the forefront flavour notes rather than bean provenance, variety and preparation (although this is online and on pack) with the intention of making speciality coffee far more accessible and addressing the divide that exists within the Norwegian market. The range changes seasonally and currently includes Apricot & Black Tea, Blackcurrant & Sugar Snap Pea and Elderflower & Butter, sourced from Kenya and Ethiopia. Talor&Jørgen’s packaging design, developed by Oslo-based studio Bielke & Yang, expresses the accessible intentions of brand and freshness of its coffee in the distinctive pairing of a small robust structural choice that holds 250g, and the tone and content of Janne Iivonen’s illustrative work.

Lorod is an American fashion label that redefines timeless basics with modern, modular construction, distinctive fabrics and vintage-inspired chic. The designers at LOROD experiment with production methods to give each garment a quirky, personal and one-of-a-kind quality, and utilise new distribution tools to produce collections within the U.S.
This intersection of the classic and contemporary, refined craftsmanship, a utilitarian functionality and quirky personality informed Lorod’s brand identity, designed by Pentagram partner Natasha Jen and her team. This is expressed in the combination of wordmark, colour and form, in messaging and art direction, and the way that these are used across tags, business cards and website.

Someone Somewhere is a clothing and accessories brand. Each of its products are designed and made in Mexico by small communities of textile artisans. The social and cultural contexts that are the foundation of brand are expressed by its new visual identity, created by Mexico City-based graphic design studio Sociedad Anonima, through naming and a graphic device that calls out maker and origin.
