Country: Norway

Norwegian graphic design history documented through artefacts and publications exploring modernist typography, poster design, and the development of visual communication influenced by Nordic design traditions.

Norwegian graphic design shares the broader Scandinavian commitment to functionalism and clarity while expressing a distinctive national character. It contributed to the postwar European design through poster design, book design, and corporate identity. The archive documents Norwegian graphic design through designer profiles and printed matter.
