Latest work from so+ba

I’ve been a fan of so+ba since I discovered their work a little over a year ago. Now that they’ve updated their site, it’s nice to know a little more info about them:

“susanna baer and alex sonderegger were born in switzerland. they started their design studio so+ba, in tokyo in 2001. with their experiences in graphic design and advertising in switzerland and japan, as well as a good understanding of the two very different cultures, cross-cultural communication is one of the strength and the focus of so+ba.”

Above is work they did for the Swiss Design Symposium back in November 2010, as well as a couple of posters for Zou-no-Hana, a center for cultural exchange.

New(ish) work from League

I hadn’t checked out League in awhile (view archived post), so it was nice to see all of the great new work in their portfolio.

Quadradão

Wow… some really great work from Brazilian studio Quadradão. Be sure to download their portfolio pdf, too.

Artifacts: A Short Dedication

Guest post by Dan Newcomer

When I was a senior at The University of the Arts (Philadelphia), our prestigious design program was making a transition to a new level, both figuratively and literally speaking. Continue reading…

Fangohr

Brooklyn-based Fangohr not only has a portfolio full of thoughtfully executed projects, but they have a beautiful site to match. Command-D, my friends, Command-D.

Your Friends

So my friends Liv and Scott recently visited their friends Your Friends in Oslo, Norway. Yes, there’s a whole lotta Norway goin’ on at L&C lately, and for good reason. I found it difficult choosing images from their portfolio to feature here, so be sure to make your way through their site.

Neue

Chillingly stunning work from Oslo, Norway’s Neue. Read about their identity work to promote tourism for two municipalities in Norway (called Visit Nordkyn) at Brand New. Great stuff, indeed.

Grandpeople

Wow, Norway’s Grandpeople have a ton of great work showcased on their new site. Be sure to dig through their archive, too.

Hauser Lacour

German design firm Hauser Lacour has a portfolio full of clean and sophisticated work. Pictured above is the identity and some of the collateral materials they created for the Museum of Contemporary Art Siegen. I think I will open up a museum just so I can take on a project like that…

May+Steinmüller

One of the first things I noticed when I visited the site of Berlin-based May+Steinmüller, was the work they’ve done for the German Toilet Organization (pictured above). I wasn’t sure what to expect with a name like that, but quickly realized that it’s an important organization that focuses on sanitation and waste management issues around the globe. I look forward to seeing more from May+Steinmüller…

Soulellis Studio

Wow… not sure how I’ve missed seeing the work of Soulellis Studio before. I don’t think I need to get into why exactly I’m posting their work. It must be nice to work on a project as large as the Cornell College of Architecture, Art and Planning. Good, good stuff.

Area 22/ Sonia Chan

Some very nice work from San Francisco-based designer Sonia Chan. All of the work is beautifully minimal and highly refined… though I wish there were some notes about the work (such as the logos presented above).
