Denmark is sooo much. Also in German! When the Danish artist Laus Lauesen wanted to create a poster for Denmark, he made a collage – in a quirky way. The figures look sure like they are thoroughly enjoying whatever they are doing in Denmark. The poster hunters at Come to Sweden have found a twin […]
This fabulous vintage poster advertises staycation in Sweden. It’s an excellent example of the Swedish Tourist Association’s insistence on their message. By every means possible – through posters, brochures, films and presentations – it tried to persuade Swedish tourists to travel within Sweden, still more than 50 years after their founding in the 1880s. That […]
WINNER in the My Norden Poster poster contest 2022! In the words of the artist: My poster was inspired by Scandinavian mid-century graphic design and Nordic nature. I was hoping to capture the special light and feeling of a very light summer evening in the Nordics. Surely travel posters can’t simply remain a cry from […]
FINALIST in the My Norden Poster poster contest 2022! In the words of the artist: The main inspiration behind my poster were my journeys in the North.

Already at the last turn of the century, Saltsjöbaden stood for a salty call for leisure and outdoor life – only half an hour from the stressful life of the city. A perfect day trip! In 1891 at the age of 38 Knut Wallenberg, prominent bankman and politician, bought large areas of untouched land in […]
The artist presents the poster: When visiting northern Europe I was very excited to see the midnight sun. Moreover, the atmosphere in the cities and the facial expressions of the locals were very cheerful! So, based on a mysterious and cheerful summer memory and experience in a Nordic country, I wanted to use humour to […]
