NOWHERELAND Design Studio

About NOWHERELAND

Nowhereland is an award-winning design studio founded by Signe-Lill Valkvæ and Trine Løgstrup. We work broadly with different types of projects, but always with the aim of creating compelling aesthetics and unique concepts:

Murals and Visual identity
We create visual identity and aesthetic value through murals, illustrations and posters for Danish and international clients. See our poster for the Italian apéritif brand Campari here.

Interactive art experiences for children
We design and build exhibitions aimed at children with a focus on interaction. See our latest exhibition at Norway's largest cultural festival for children here.

Teaching and workshops
We develop tailor-made courses and workshops in everything from stop-motion animation to street art. Read more about our stop-motion workshops here.
