One man, one world, three propositions: strategy, creativity and artistry. Look inside my brain and help me save the planet: HowStuffShouldWork.com

Adidas Impossible Team

The commercials with the two boys José and Pedro break down the barrier between reality and fantasy as they select football stars from the past and the present to participate in a backyard game.

The site's story combines the fantasy that lives within all kids and the reality of the actual stars of the World Cup. Using the neighbourhood from the TVCs the visitor could freely wander around in the environment and playfully interact with most things on the stage. Hiding extras and surprises throughout the site's different areas further enhanced the user's curiosity and imagination.

Adidas Women

Adidas wanted an inspiring site, one that the customers could relate to as well as interact with the sportswear. The sporty clothing line was exposed in a beach atmosphere set at dawn. The user could zoom, twist and turn the products.

Svenska Spel - Drömvärlden

The Swedish national Lottery wanted to increase their sales. We invented the Dream world – a platform where visitors could share their dreams. Using dreamy scenery, inspiring music, and organic style, users got into a good way of being.

We asked the question: »What would you do if you won the jackpot?«. As the users shared their dreams, each dream represented itself in the shape of a leaf on a tree. As more users contributed, more leaves were added and eventually the world consisted of thousands of dreams and trees – entirely built up by users.

Kia Easy Business

This is a microsite for businesses looking for a fleet & leasing deal. The user can choose from four different ready-made packages, and use a wizard to set up a suiting payment solution.

BRIS

Conceptual sketch presented for BRIS (Children's Rights in Society). The sketch shows how BRIS can help children even more by using social media and a blog-like community. Hopefully, BRIS will do something similar to this in the future–for they are a much needed organization and this would truly benefit children throughout Sweden.

 

KostaBoda.com

Kosta Boda, Sweden's oldest glassworks still in use, wanted a new, inspiring site to showcase their extensive line of products and the lineup of renowned designers.

The result was a new CI for digital that allowed a smooth, almost organic, experience. The flash-based site let the products do the talking.

KostaBoda.com Corporate

Along with the launch of Kosta Boda's consumer site, a corporate version was also launched. Adhering to the new CI, this user-friendly site was directed to corporations and press. The information architecture was made simple yet appealing.

Naturkompaniet

Naturkompaniet, a Nordic outdoor retailer, wanted to go transactional with their website back in 2007. These sketches, designed in a few hours only, were presented as input on how they could move forward.

 

Svenska Spel - SHUT HIM UP!

Challenge Julian, a British football supporter!

Svenska Spel wanted to increase the awareness of the new season of Premier League. Swedish consumers got challenged by Julian, an English football supporter, to beat him on gambling. Would the user better predict the outcome of the Premier League games? If so, they had a fair chance of winning tickets to the games.

COM HEM - ON DEMAND

This is the On Demand site for Com Hem. It features the "Play" function which is TV On Demand. There is also a Video Store where the user can browse films for rental. The user can search for items, browse by channels, genres, release date, and so forth.

The design is tightly tied to the interface of the On Demand boxes for a consistent user experience across channels.

KingsClub by Scania

KingsClub is a second to none community devoted to truckers. By engaging truckers who already drive Scanias, we seek to establish a long-term relation to the costumer.

This new approach of a loyalty program allowed the users to create their own TruckBooks and share personal information, photos, videos, and audio files. Other features: the Truck Stop Guide (a Google Maps mashup); a well-frequented forum; a gallery featuring new trucks on the road, news from Scania, and much more.

The site's yearly goal was reached within the first month after launch.

Swedbank Bolån

Swedbank launched »The world's most generous mortgage offer« campaign. The offer contained no less than nine handy treats for people on the verge on changing housing. We wanted the audience to feel like the offers were real physical objects. We did so by packing the offers as physical objects in a box.

To bring interaction and fun to the site we created a world much alike those one in popup books: those books that fold up objects as the pages are flipped. As the user opened up objects inside the box the nine treats were displayed in an interesting way.

Adidas F50+

This gritty campaign site, with a very urban feel to it, was created to mark the initial launch of the F50+ range of Adidas products. The site was updated monthly with new material and offerings. As football fans all over the world navigated through the site, they were able to find out information about the products, as well as some of the favorite players in an interesting setting.

LG - Superfemman

Conceptual campaign sketch for LG – the main sponsor of LG Hockey Games. The idea of the site is to let visitors share their favorite hockey moments by linking to video footage. The entries are spread on Facebook and other social media platforms. The most liked entry would win LG products.
