Jämtland is mostly pictured as a paradise for wintersport, and that’s why it’s truly refreshing to have a poster showing the beauty of this provenice during the summer. It really looks harmonius and idyllic, doesn’t it? In the background you can see the lake and the old church of Åre. The artist behind this poster […]
Carl Mikael Gunne was a painter through and through, and this is the only poster we have found amongst his works. But what a poster – he has truly managed to capture the soul of Medelpad on a canvas! Born in Sundsvall as he was, he knew how to paint the movements of a river. […]
The midnight sun, and everything that comes with it, is unique for the Nordic countries. The artist Gunnar Nordgren really has an ability to illustrate this in his posters.
If you are going to make a poster about how fantastic and wonderful it is to travel to and in Lapland, the hardest part is that you are forced to opt out of lots of fantastic arguments for the heaviest: Two months of sun, around the clock.
In the beginning and middle of the 1900’s the travel poster was a must for cities with the ambition of attracting tourists. Gothenburg was of course no exception.

Walking around in the medieval town of Vadstena is like taking a trip back in time.

In addition […]
Ranke Sandgren grew up in Umeå so certainly the assignment to make a poster for Norrbotten must have been very special for him. We definitely think this is one of our finest posters! And it should be in every home where the heart beats for the northern part of our amazing country. Go Norrbotten!
Linjebuss was once upon a time Sweden’s largest bus company. But still the name was not known to everyone, and there is a explanation to that – the company bought smaller bus companies around the country and either kept the old name or gave a new one, depending on the reputation of the company in […]
The sky is the limit! SAS expanded quickly in the 1960s: The jetplane was introduced in 1959, the new airport in Stockholm, Arlanda, was opened in 1962 and soon they – unbelievably enough – offered direct flights to long-distance destinations such as New York, Chicago and Tokyo (with a fast stopover in Alaska, of course).

It’s early (so early that you still can see the stars in the sky!) in the morning, and the local fishermen are the only ones awake at this hour. They are out trying get their catch with these nets, and it’s pretty incredible that you still today can see the fishermen using the same techniques […]
