Identity
Halden Ceramics
A tactile identity drawn from glaze tests and river stones, printed in a single earth tone.
We design brands that linger.
Atelier North is a studio of nine designers and writers crafting identities, packaging and websites for brands that would rather be remembered than noticed.

(04) The studio
A small studio in an old print works, by the water
We started Atelier North in 2014 with two desks and a borrowed risograph. Today we are nine designers, writers and developers split between a harbour loft in Copenhagen and a tiled flat in Lisbon.
We take on eight projects a year so every client gets a founder at the table. No account managers, no decks for the sake of decks.
