DESCRIPTION
TRANSCRIPT
we are... In 2010 Michelle Carlslund Illustration was
founded by now 26-year-old Michelle Carlslund – a
Danish illustrator based in Copenhagen. From the
HQ in the city centre the company is run by a two
man team - Michelle & Mikkel. Michelle creates care-
fully illustrated objects for grown-ups and kids. Her
illustrative universe is inhabited by colourful birds,
dreamy cityscapes, playful puns, adventurous
sailors and honey loving bears. She aims to make
work that is playful, warm and nostalgic.
“When I draw I try to turn the sometimes com-
plex emotions in my head into something light
and comprehensible. I often find it easier to handle
the little dilemmas of everyday life if I try to look
at them from above and laugh at myself. A sad bear
dressing up and trying to fit in is a good metaphor of
my state of mind on an off-day. A smile and a good
portion of self-irony add some perspective. And I
think that perspective is always a good thing.”
The illustrations of Michelle Carlslund are made in
many different ways. Sometimes she cuts and glues,
other times she uses ink and water color. A part of
the illustrations is made using an electronic drawing
pad – the approach depends on the mood she is in. It
feels good to vary. Common to all the designs is the
sense of colour and texture and the imaginative
and unpredictable universe. That is the best thing
about drawing - you can make anything happen!
Michelle Carlslund started her business five years
ago while she was still studying graphic design. In
2013 she went all the way to be a full time poster
maker / illustrator and she has been a busy bee
ever since; her posters, cards, totes and notebooks
can be bought in more than 150 design shops all
over the world.
Besides the poster making she often takes on
commissions or does fun design collaborations as a
freelance illustrator designing everything from book
covers to playing cards or wall paper.
“ When I draw I try to turn the sometimes complex emotions in my head into something light and comprehensible...
the materialsPosters and cards: Good news! All of the posters
and cards of Michelle Carlslund Illustration are
printed in Denmark. 95 % of them on the sustainable
paper choice; stone paper. Stone paper is made
from limestone and the oil based non toxic binder
HDPE. The production of stone paper releases half
as much CO2 as the one of conventional paper. No
water, bleach or trees has been used in the making.
Stone paper is strong and water proof and has
a matte and lovely feel. Stone paper is cradle to
cradle certified and under the right conditions
(moisture, heat and uv-light) it will start to decom-
pose. Not on your wall, of course :)
Totebags: The totebags are made from Indian
organic GOTS and fairtrade certified cotton
and printed in Germany.
Notebooks: The brand new notebooks are made
from a mix of left over paper types from our printing
house. This way you get paper surprises of different
texture, thickness and feel with a minimum of paper
waste.
Photos: Most of the beautiful photos in this cata-
logue was styled and photographed by Laura Briault
