Form Design Center in Malmö
We recently visited the Form/Design Center in Malmö. Wandering across the beautiful old square of Lilla Torg we passed a very good record and coffee shop, something the Scandinavians really seem to understand; that people like to consider purchases of books and CDs over a really good coffee and a cinnamon bun. We headed over […]

In 1990, Copenhagen Airport was awarded the Danish Design Council’s IG Prize for best Airport signage. The prize was given in recognition of the airport’s consistent signage design and visual identity, which made it easy for passengers to find their way about the building.
