Coming soon...

Sorry it has been a little quiet over here on the Little Solsken blog recently. I'm currently updating my website, new blog posts coming soon.

Little Solsken loves...

I stumbled upon a lovely company called This is ground who are based in Los Angeles. They have many useful handmade leather products. The kind of thing you didn't know you needed but are all actually very useful. As they say on their website 'Creative solutions to everyday problems'. I particularly love the range of Mod folio's, a customisable case to store everyday possessions in an organised way and great for travelling. There are many variations depending on your lifestyle, I personally love the Designer Mod one.

Packaging design is always an important part of a product. I particularly like Japanese simple understated designs, as sometimes less is more and the most simple things are the most beautiful.

Once Upon a Type...

Inspired by The Golden Sans Project, a documentation of the Gold Coast’s residential and urban signage by Andrew Suggit. I've been exploring typography and signage designs, particularly how regional styles have evolved and taken inspiration from the local surroundings. Some styles are instantly recognisable for a particular region others more subtle.
