We are proud to announce that our Head of Design and Creative Director, Isabelle Dahlborg Lidström, will be part of the 2020 iF Design Award jury. Read more about the award and the highly esteemed international panel of experts here.

First awarded in 1953, the iF Design Award is a world-renowned design competition and a symbol of outstanding design achievements that focuses on the innovative power of design. Every year it puts companies, designers, agencies and architects to the test in the following disciplines: Product, Packaging, Communication, Interior Architecture, Professional Concept, Service Design and Architecture.

This year, the awards ceremony will be held on May 4th in the Unesco City of Design – Berlin.

In October, we submitted our entries for Transform Awards Europe and we are very excited to have reached the shortlist in three categories for our work with Finnish paint and lacquer manufacturer Tikkurila:

Best brand experience
Best use of copy style or tone of voice
Best visual identity from the FMCG sector

Now, we are looking forward to the awards ceremony in London in March, when the winners will be announced!

To secure an easy transit into 2020 we want to invite you to the first After Work of the decade! Spoil yourself with food and drinks together with us and our friends. Join us at A house, 5th floor on January 23rd, and feel free to bring a colleague or friend. The more the merrier. Sign up here.
