For the last couple of years we have been involved in two simultaneous stroller design projects for Stokke. We are more than thrilled to finally see the launch of the two new strollers!

Stokke Crusi is a large, multifunctional stroller, while Stokke Scoot is the handy and lightweight little brother.

Wooden toys at the Louisiana

Is there a Nordic identity? Does The Nordic Way exist? Can one, despite the tendency of globalization to erase national and cultural differences, still understand identity as something associated with particular places? And if that is the case, how has the Nordic identity developed alongside the development of the rest of the world?

These are some of the questions posed by the New Nordic – Architecture and Identity exhibition at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art.

Permafrost has been asked to create one of 30 small ‘Nordic dioramas’ in the exhibition, reflecting on Nordic identity in relation to our own cultural profession. Our contribution is a set of wooden toys depicting modern day industrial icons, while at the same time honouring traditional Nordic craftsmanship.

The exhibition is open until October 21^st, so anyone in or around Copenhagen could do worse than checking it out.

New bottle celebrating Scandinavian summer

permafrostnews — Sat, 07 Jul 2012 12:10:52 +0000

Our latest design for AQ New Norwegian Aquavit is called SQ Sommeraquavit. The product itself is a smooth and mellow aquavit matured in white wine casks, and the bottle is inspired by the equally peaceful and bright Scandinavian summer nights.

The design hints at a modern, innovative approach to aquavit-making, while at the same time maintaining an uncompromising quest for quality.

Our ongoing relationship with the manufacturer has included designing the entire brand identity for AQ New Norwegian Aquavit, as well as developing the branding strategy and bottle designs for their entire range of spirits.

BazookaGoal wins red dot design award

permafrostnews — Mon, 02 Jul 2012 08:08:06 +0000

The Bazooka Goal has been honoured with a red dot design award! This award is one of the world’s largest and most commonly recognised design competitions, so we’d like to think we’re in good company.

The Bazooka Goal is the world’s most compact solid frame folding goal. Carrying, handling and assembling is made easy through a lightweight telescopic design. Its patented construction includes a pair of heavy-duty coil springs, allowing the goal to flex with seemingly careless ease when the ball hits the crossbar.

Our involvement in the projects extends from designing and engineering the iconic product itself to sorting out the logo and visual identity.
