Duration: We started up a little over a year ago. Staff: We are five designers—Mathias Hovet, Lars Kjelsnes, Stein Henrik Haugen, Martin Sanne Kristiansen and Thomas Lein. Education: We all went to the same school (Westerdals School of Communication) and after graduating, we set up our own company. Cultural Influences: We are influenced by bicycle culture, '70s/'80s soft rock, office supplies, European typography and the Okapi. Philosophy: We strive to find balance between idea, function and aesthetics in each of our projects. We're like a young Marvin in his heyday.
