Collecting Collections: Kontor Kontor

Contributor post by Lisa Congdon



Hi everyone!

I'm a link collector, are you? And *surprise surprise* many of my links have to do with collections and collecting.

One of the best links I've added to my collection lately is from Kontor Kontor , a design agency in Gothenburg Sweden. They are a full service agency, offering graphic design, product design and interior design. The women at the agency met at HDK School of Design and Crafts at University of Design and Crafts at University of Gothenberg. Cool, no?



As the visual imagery on their website, they've pulled together several fantastic "color collections" arranged on an imaginary grid. I love this kind of arrangement (also how I arranged my collections in my Collection a Day project.) So visually appealing and satisfying! I could look at these images all day long! Sort of reminds me of Anthony Zinonos' Found Colours . I know there are other artists who've also done gorgeous work with color collections (if you know of any, please leave their names in the comments!).









The women from Kontor Kontor have a lovely shop with some hand screened tea towels too.

I'll be back next month with something new! Stay tuned.
Lisa
