Snekkerfabrikken

From design agency by north:

Snekkerfabrikken is a small, family run carpenter studio situated on the small island of Indre Kvarøy. Established by Oswald Olsen in 1954, it is now run by the second and third generation of the family. Starting out as a full-service carpenter, producing everything from furniture to windows and doors, Snekkerfabrikken has over the years focused their skills on building bespoke staircases for new and old buildings, with a deep passion for sustainable craftmanship and innovation.

We were tasked with reimagining their brand to better communicate their skills and their hands-on approach to producing beautiful staircases of all styles, as well as their sustainable approach to their craft. Our goal was also to turn their website into a practical tool for customers, making the process of ordering a staircase smoother and less intimidating.

We built the identity around a bespoke logotype and a color palette inspired by Indre Kvarøys nature paired with a clear, timeless sans-serif typeface and a set of geometric, simplified icons.

The typefaces used are Nib and Resist Sans.
