Hages began selling shortwave radios in Stockholm during the 1940s and is one of the oldest of its kind in Sweden. While the retailing of electronic goods has changed dramatically, sold increasingly online and on price by large chains, Hages has remained true to an independent spirit and established and developed a solid reputation.
To coincide with the opening of their second store, Stockholm based The Studio worked with Hages to develop a new graphic identity, moving it from Hages TV & Video to Hage, creating a modern and reductive visual expression and reinforcing this through repetition across signage, stationery, business cards, t-shirts and bags.

Helio is a flexible co-working space and meeting venue with 8 different locations in and around the Swedish capital of Stockholm. It is made up of spaces with large desks for groups, small quiet areas for individuals, private meeting rooms and places to mix. These share an interior design language of modern utility and high quality handcrafted surfaces, upholstery and finishes. Helio membership is diverse, with people from many different industries and backgrounds.
Based around the concept of the creative spark, “ignited when people from different fields work together”, Scandinavian design studio Bedow developed an energetic and playful visual identity that finds a commonality of form with interior, but introduces, in a considered and moderated way, a cheerful personality through bright colour, illustration and pattern. This links menus, posters, notebooks, stationery and business cards.
