Lundgren+Lindqvist is a Sweden based design studio founded in 2007. Do you have a project that you wish to discuss with us?

Lundgren+Lindqvist is a Sweden based design studio led by founding partners Andreas Friberg Lundgren and Carl-Johan Lindqvist. With an approach that is conceptually driven, the studio has built an international reputation for crafting high quality solutions that are equally compelling to the eyes and the intellect. Since the start in 2007, the studio has utilised code as a tool as natural to the d

esign process as pen and paper. Although often simple in form, the output is multi-layered and built upon an in-depth understanding of the project’s prerequisites. Whether the solution is physical or digital, the studio employs a bespoke approach aiming to make clear what is mudded. Lundgren+Lindqvist’s services cover visual identity design, art direction, design for print and digital applications, packaging design, signage and web development. Development projects are carried out both independently and in collaboration with top agencies and designers around the world. With clients from Los Angeles to Hong Kong, Lundgren+Lindqvist undertake projects of varying scale within a range of areas. From cultural institutions and artists, to fashion brands and tech start-ups, strong relationships are forged and built upon a foundation of mutual trust. As a complement to the daily practice of client based work, Lundgren+Lindqvist runs the publishing imprint ll’Editions, a platform for creative cross-disciplinary collaboration. Every year, a small number of items are released in limited editions, ranging from five to 500 and made available through the ll’Editions webshop. Please do not hesitate to get in touch.

We wish all of you a Happy Easter with this image from our case study for the visual identity we designed for Restaurang Röda Sten a few years ago.

The image, showing the porcelain we designed for the restaurant, featuring the new logotype and emblem, was art directed by us and photographed by Kalle Sanner.

Kiang Malingue is a contemporary art gallery in Hong Kong and New York, showing emerging and established artists. The gallery has staged over 100 exhibitions over 13 years, across Hong Kong, Beijing, and Shanghai. In 2025, it expanded to Manhattan’s Lower East Side.

Lundgren+Lindqvist has worked with the gallery since 2014, beginning with a redesign of its visual identity. That first identity was built around ’the Trisection’ — a recurring stroke divided in three, abstracting the three words of the gallery name and the three strokes needed to form a legible E or M.
In 2022, the gallery renamed itself Kiang Malingue to reflect the equal partnership between its founders, and the occasion prompted a more substantial identity update. Rather than building on recognizable elements from the previous identity — though subtle echoes were retained — the new system centres on a variable, modular typographic system and a generous colour palette, allowing the gallery to attune its communication to individual exhibitions and artists. Within this non-hierarchical system, disposition and scale do the work of making the gallery’s voice clear and recognizable.
The project also included a flexible template for ads and posters, and a full stationery suite covering letterheads, business cards, folders, and correspondence cards.

The new Kiang Malingue website builds on the rich content archive of the previous site, extending the systematic approach of the new identity. Using CSS grid and sticky positioning, a strict grid is maintained across both English and Traditional Chinese — and the technical setup is robust enough to run in any datacenter without risk of being blocked by the Chinese firewall.

Lundgren+Lindqvist continues to work with Kiang Malingue, adding components to the identity and expanding the website.

Polestar 4 Poster Series – Poster Design
-
These posters were conceived during the production of the Polestar 4 Book, also designed by Lundgren+Lindqvist. In book production, there is generally a lot of paper waste as a large number of sheets will have to run through the printing press in order to properly calibrate it. The Polestar 4 book, with its requirements for absolute colour registration was no exception. Observing these sheets accumulate during the printing intake, Lundgren+Lindqvist conceived the idea of repurposing them and transforming material that would otherwise be discarded into a promotional poster for the book.

Each poster was produced using those leftover sheets, including the five different paper stocks featured in the book. Over them, black text was printed displaying the book’s title and technical details.

Bearing traces of ink left by the press, every sheet carries singular imperfections — fades, stains, and tonal variations. These differences make each poster unique. Beyond its role as a complementary, promotional piece, the poster stands as an independent printed work, an expression of process and poetic circularity.

The project embodies Polestar’s circular design philosophy, mirroring the brand’s own use of recycled and responsibly sourced materials in its vehicles. Apart from being handed out as gifts to people buying the Polestar 4 book, the posters were also exhibited in Polestar’s HQ.

Inflection is a boutique venture capital fund backing non-consensus engineering moonshots at the idea stage. Designed by Lundgren+Lindqvist, Inflection’s visual identity draws on the dual gaze of Janus, the Roman god of transitions, who looks simultaneously to the past and the future. The metaphor reflects the essence of venture capital: recognising patterns from what has come before while anticipating the opportunities and risks ahead.

At the centre of this idea is the inflection point—the moment where direction changes and new trajectories begin. The logomark captures this tension. A rectangular form is interrupted by two elliptical cuts that evoke a pair of eyes, one turned to the past and the other to the future, while also revealing the letter “I”.

The palette—black, white, and the transitional grey between them—visualises the inflection point as movement between states. An accent green conveys renewal, growth, and foresight, reflecting Inflection’s progressive outlook.

Two-part compositions reinforce the Janus concept through structure. When paired with imagery of people facing left and right, the system gains a human dimension, reminding us that every investment is rooted in people and culture.

The symbol can also be deconstructed to form a frame. Used alongside the logos of portfolio companies, it creates a shared visual language—Inflection acting as the framework that supports and connects its partners.

The identity extends to the website as a continuous system, where split compositions and the pairing of historical and futuristic imagery express the inflection point as the space where these worlds converge.

Apart from designing the catalogue, our project for Svensk Bokkonst also included the design of the diplomas handed out to the 25 winners. For these, we repurposed the covers of the books which had been disassembled in the making of the catalogue, making sure that nothing went to waste. In the process, the diplomas were transformed to a multiple of sorts. Uniform stickers containing information about the winning book and the signature of Nina Ulmaja [], chair of Svensk Bokkonst, were placed on the covers. With most of the books using thicker board for the covers, an added bonus was that the diplomas were stiff enough to stand, allowing them to be displayed without the need to frame them.

The Swedish Book Art Association, or Svensk bokkonst [], is a non-profit association founded in 1933 to celebrate high-quality book publications. Each year, a jury of five to seven people chooses 25 books, covering different genres, whose designs are cleverly adapted to their content in terms of typography, printing and binding. With the competition celebrating its 90th year in 2023, it is one of the world’s oldest competitions for book design.
-
Each year, a winner from the previous year is selected by the jury to design the catalogue for the coming year’s competition. The statues say that you are only allowed to design the catalogue once in your career. Consequently, it is a very prestigious assignment. Lundgren+Lindqvist was selected by a unanimous jury to design the 2024 Svensk Bokkonst catalogue.

Founded in 1933, Svensk Bokkonst is one of the world’s oldest book design competitions, annually selecting 25 outstanding Swedish book productions. Each year, a previous winner is invited to design the catalogue. For the 2025 catalogue, Lundgren+Lindqvist was entrusted with the task.

Rather than reproducing the awarded books, we built the catalogue from them. Each copy contains an original leaf from all 25 winning titles—real pages, in their actual size—making every catalogue unique. A prong-fastened binding, index with cover references, and a folded poster cover (25 versions in total) frame the fragments without overshadowing them.

Released at the award gala at Kungliga biblioteket, the catalogue becomes both archive and object: a collection of living book matter, assembled in collaboration with the winners and produced together with Taberg Media Group and Norrmalms Kartongfabrik.

Additionally, Lundgren+Lindqvist also designed the diplomas, and invitations for the award gala, including a short film. In this film, the information about the gala was printed in fragments throughout a blank book. Upon leafing through the book, the message is completed.

We’ve been overwhelmed by the by the response to Static Motion by Carl Ander (LL’Editions). Late last year, it was selected as one of the best photobooks of the year by Erik Kessels [.kessels], who wrote:

“For me, the best book I’ve seen this year. Great inspiring edit, super design, and made with a sense of humor. A beautiful compilation of images that show how weird human beings can be.”

—Erik Kessels, Artist, Designer, Curator, and PhMuseum CURAE Head Professor.

This week, the book was also featured on It’s Nice That []t in an article by Ellis Tree []

To mark the release, a series of signings took place across four cities, beginning in Paris during Paris Photo. A single T-shirt accompanied the tour: reprinted for each stop, with details in English on the front and in the local language on the back. Worn by Carl Ander at every event, it was updated along the way—past dates crossed out as the tour progressed. Gradually marked by use and travel, the shirt became an ephemeral artifact of the book’s journey.

Published by LL’Editions, Static Motion is the result of a close collaboration between Carl Ander and Lundgren+Lindqvist. The book brings together a carefully edited selection of photographs drawn from Ander’s archive of illustrated manuals on sports, health, and self-improvement. Removed from their original instructional contexts, the images open up to new readings—at times absurd or humorous, at others subtly violent or erotic—revealing the latent tensions embedded in the material.

New case study: Visual identity and website for GBA Studios.

Founded in Los Angeles and based in Tokyo, Guilty by Association (GBA) is an agency and production studio working across film and brand storytelling. Their clients include Nike, Beats by Dre, Netflix, Lamborghini, LOEWE, the United Nations, Suntory, Adidas and PlayStation.

Lundgren+Lindqvist was commissioned by GBA Studios to design their visual identity and to design and build their website.
In the world of video and media, acronyms and abbreviations are ubiquitous, serving as shorthand and cultural markers. The identity system utilises the contrast between acronym and full form to examine the tension between surface recognition and deeper meaning; highlighting the interplay between teaser and complete discourse.
The identity embraces this linguistic compression: the acronym is presented in its standard orientation, while the full word appears in reverse. The inverted text serves as a subtle yet intentional disruption, a deliberate pause that provokes curiosity.
In a culture driven by instant impressions and fleeting attention, meaning is often assembled from partial cues rather than full understanding. The identity slows this process down, inviting a more deliberate interpretation.

Nāst Innovation Destination Torslanda is an innovation hub for sustainable technologies, offering offices, co-working, events and a strong collaborative community. Spanning 200,000 m² and accommodating up to 3,500 professionals, every element is designed to foster innovation. Located in Torslanda just outside Gothenburg—an area known for the Volvo Cars manufacturing plant—Nāst attracts talent and companies that come not only to work, but to co-create across borders.

Lundgren+Lindqvist was commissioned to refine Näst’s visual identity, carefully redrawing the existing wordmark and its corresponding, hexagon shaped, symbol. The brand assets toolbox was also expanded with a set of icons, and the colour palette was optimized both for on-screen use and physical applications.

For the grand opening, bespoke Nāst brooches (image 14), made in repurposed copper plate were gifted to visitors. In the 1980’s, this plate had been installed within the walls of the Volvo HQ, prohibiting anyone from eavesdropping on the meetings taking part in the headquarters.

The project was made in close collaboration with Nāst’s inhouse team.
