Ocean

A project that revolves around the sea, Malmö’s closest neighbor that connects us with the whole world.

Lately we have spent a lot of time with the sea and we are interested in the sea as a resource for a sustainable future from various aspects. Seaweed is something that we pay a little extra attention to, such as food, fertilizer, oxygen producer and exciting material.

We made a film about the process – the collection of information, the experimentation, different perceptions of the sea and how the fanzine Ocean takes shape.

The project was first shown at Southern Sweden Design Days 2022 – a new international design festival in Malmö, Sweden.

 

 

We printed the fanzine with our Risograph, a whole new experience for us to collect and develop information, work with the graphic form and then print 36 pages with a machine that lives its on life ; )

Printed with Risograph
Paper: Munken Pure 90 g

Utfall

In printing, ”utfall” or bleed is the extra space that will be trimmed off at the end of the printing process. Occasionally, these paper strips (the bleed) have also been experimented with. There have also been experiments with layer upon layer on test prints. In this exhibition the primarily focus is on the discarded pieces which get a new chance in the limelight.

The exhibition was situated at Form/Design Center during the very first edition of Southern Sweden Design Days 2021.

L.T. Fisk

Some years ago we had the pleasure to have L. T. Fisk here for a small kitchen concert. We remember that it was the first nice summer day that year and not that many in the audience inside, but a very nice memory for us who were there : )

Now we have printed some t-shirts for the great artist, based on drawings by another great artist Linnéa Carlsson.

Munken – Cradle to Cradle

Since the start we have mostly used the briljant paper Munken from Arctic Paper in Munkedal Sweden. Esa came in touch with it through book design and it was love at first sight. In 2017 we visited the paper mill one hour north of Gothenburg here in Sweden to learn some more about the paper production and their environmental work. We can tell that after that it feels even better to print on Munken paper.

And now they are the first paper mill in the world to be Cradle to Cradle Certified™!

“Cradle to Cradle (C2C) is a globally recognised standard for safe and sustainable products made for the circular economy. By applying the Cradle to Cradle design principle, we are not only minimising our negative influence on the environment – we are going beyond, to leave a positive footprint! “

More about it here.

The dummy workshop.

 

 

Happy to visit.

Concrete Landscapes

We find a lot of inspiration both in the city and in the countryside. In a skatepark these two melt together as a  “man-made landscape”.

Lately we have worked with skateparks – concrete landscapes – in our home town Malmö, a city with a generous approach to skateboarding and which has hosted several international competitions.

When it comes to our screen prints we want to highlight the environment, the concrete landscape. The skaters might look at a skatepark from a functional perspective, how to tackle the area. We are more explorers and look at the area as a rolling landscape with interesting forms.

We have made a short film to tell some about how we do it – the jollygoodfellow process, some of our inspiration, preparations and the actual printing. Hope you like it!

RIDE – bike print

jollygoodfellow-Ride-70x100_P1070617_1K

Finally our new big bike print is on the wall!

After months of watching and discussing just the two of us and with really nice bike people we decided that the bike that Eddie Merckx used for his “Hour Record” 1972 in Mexico City should be the object for our next XL bike print.  The bike is clean and nice, very close to the image that pops up in our heads when we hear the word bike. And Eddie Merckx seems to be a very nice cyclist who has continued his bike journey in a nice way.

We fell over a long essay about the mystery: which bike is the bike that Eddie actually used during the record? We started to compare the different versions and still were not sure about which of them is “the bike”  but at least we have quite good odds as we have used parts from to different bikes ; ) One of the bikes is shown at the Eddie Merckx Subway station in Brussels and we where on our way to picture it but halfway there we had to change our plans due to the awful terror acts in Brussels during Easter week 2016.

Ride in the print shop.

“Ride as much or as little, or as long or as short as you feel. But ride.”
That is a quote from Mr Merckx that we really like and the reason we gave this print the name “Ride”.
