Bespoke product series for the Norwegian Munch Museum in Oslo
MUNCH
For the opening of the Munch Museum in Oslo, we had the incredible opportunity to design a bespoke stationery collection for the museum shop. We named it National Treasure, drawing inspiration from the iconic artwork of Edvard Munch. The collection includes notebooks, greeting cards, folders, notepads, and pencil cases—each piece paying homage to his legacy.
The Museum gave us access to the entirety of its archives, including 1,200 paintings, 18,000 prints, six sculptures, as well as 500 plates, 2,240 books, and various other items. With access to his all this, we were amazed by the sheer impact of Munch´s artistry. From this starting point we developed carefully curated colour palettes and designed patterns that offer a contemporary interpretation while staying true to the essence of his work. We also selected some of his most powerful quotes to feature on the cards, further deepening the connection to his vision.
Being part of this project was both a dream and an honour—a tribute to one of Norway’s most celebrated artists.
With our background in creating stationery for our own brand, we understand how essential the quality of the product is. From the paper texture to the print finish, every detail matters in creating something that will stand the test of time. We are proud of the quality and craftsmanship that went into this collection, ensuring it not only celebrates Munch's legacy but also provides a beautifully functional product for the customer. The collection is available for purchase at the museum shop and online.
From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them and that is eternity
-Edvard Munch
Edvard Munch (1863–1944) was a pioneering Norwegian painter and printmaker, widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in modern art. His work, which delves into themes of love, fear, death, and melancholy, has had a profound impact on the art world. Munch's iconic painting The Scream is one of the most recognizable and evocative images in the history of art. His collection, which spans a wide range of emotional and psychological depth, continues to resonate with audiences around the world.
The Munch Museum was originally located at Tøyen, which opened in 1963. The museum moved to the new museum building in Bjørvika, which opened in 22 October 2021.
