A very festive season's greetings arrived at the office. Thanks, lovely Saana ja Olli!
Oh boy, seems that Werklig office has moved to some magical winter wonderland. Not too bad view from our windows.
Here is a discloth that we really like. Wonder why? Well, you can order yourself one from the German online shop magazin.
Finnish Design Yearbook 2010-11 by Design Forum Finland is out now
Finnish Design Yearbook explores design as a tool of
business success, a means for creating a better life and a better
society, an aid for the commodification of innovations, and as an aspect
of self-expression. Four very relevant viewpoints.
The book is primarily aimed at the international market. Its international distribution will include bookstores, sales on the
Web, design fairs and events, and the press.
Werklig and our work is introduced in Page 101 – "Design as a business tool" section: Werklig is a Finnish brand design agency that has become a noteworthy contender in its field in only a few years. In 2009, Werklig designed an ingenious logo for the Best of Year graphic design competition, displaying the name of the contest in ribbon-like text.
In the section "Design as a means of expression" you can find Minna
Parikka scarves (A/W 2010) designed by Inka.
Werklig staff created three unique posters representing our new home neighbourhood, Kruununhaka, for last week's housewarming party. All posters are 50x70 in size and they have one spot ink offset-printed on uncoated 150g/m2 quality paper. All in Werklig-colours, of course.
The posters were handed to our beloved party guests as a giveaway. However, there are still some posters left. Come and get 'em! Just drop us a line and/or pay a visit to Werklig office, we'll provide you with a set.
