Yokoland

Young Norwegian designers Aslak Gurholt Rønsen and Espen Friberg, who have been collaborating on projects since they met in high school at the age of 16, inhabit Yokoland. Together they create design, illustration and art that are idyllic, humorous and poetic without ever being mawkish some of which has been featured in Hidden Track. Being one of the most inventive design studios of today, Yokoland skillfully blends their Scandinavian approach to design into their work melding elegant humor and human touch, exploring new ways of creating graphic design solutions to stunning effect.

This book takes you on their adventures and features the best of Yokoland’s work containing a range of their as yet relatively unknown work that brings different styles and surprising contrasts in a highly original way. Yokoland’s distinctive design can be aptly summarized by their record label’s company slogan: "We’re so underground that we’re almost in China".

年輕的挪威設計師Aslak Gurholt Rønsen 和 Espen Friberg在他們16歲上中學的時候就開始閤作做項目。他們的設計和插畫藝術是田園般的，幽默的，詩意的，不帶有傷感的成分。作為當今非常有創意的一個設計工作室，他們熟練的把斯堪的納維亞風格融入到自己的設計中，融elegant的幽默，人性的感觸為一體，探索新的方式進行平麵設計的創作。他們獨特的設計可以用他們公司的標語來概括：“我們是那麼的地下，好像我們在中國”（？為什麼）
