About
Colophon AS, Oslo
Studio
A design studio in Oslo, working with publishers, museums and institutions.
01
Who we are
Eleven people, one room, and a proof press older than half the staff.
The studio started in 2012 with two people and a shared desk in Torggata. We still work on the same street, in a larger room, with a Heidelberg proof press in the corner that gets used more often than anyone expects.
02
How we work
01
Write the rules down
A system in someone’s head is a dependency.
02
Make the boring parts good
Templates and spec sheets outlive the work.
03
Fewer projects, further in
Six things properly beats twenty at arm’s length.
