Books, catalogue design and custom typeface for the contemporary photography gallery in Stockholm founded in 2008 by Greger Ulf Nilson and Karolina Strömberg. The gallery focused on international and national contemporary photography and represented both well-established names and young emerging artists such as Sølve Sundsbø, Martin Parr, Carsten Höller, Gerry Johansson, Anders Petersen and Irving Penn.
Savage Beauty
Alexander McQueen (1969–2010) was one of the most extraordinary creative talents and inspirational designers at the turn of the millennium. Norwegian photographer Sølve Sundsbø created congenial photographs for the book Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, published to coincide with the exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and later V&A in London. In 2011, Gun Gallery exhibited a selection of Sølve Sundsbøs photographs. SDL created a custom serif typeface and designed the catalogue Pictures from Savage Beauty.
Perroquet
Born out of a lifelong fascination with science photography and nature documentaries, the Perroquet (French for ”parrot”) showcases a body of work by fashion photographer Sølve Sundsbø, comprising a short film and a selection of photographs. Stockholm Design Lab designed the book for the exhibition at the Gun Gallery, Stockholm and Colette, Paris. Learn more about Sundsbø’s Perroquet project at SHOWstudio.
