LILJEVALCHS EXHIBITION
”Snask gave the exhibition an aggressive and cocky character with a congenial comprehensive design, visible in everything from the web, billboards in Sweden, catalogue and other units. Choosing Snask was definitely a contributing explanation for the exhibition’s public success.”

Ambition

One of the first exhibitions was the renowned handicraft exhibition in 1917, which gave birth to some of Sweden’s most prominent designers such as Carl Malmsten and Gunnar Asplund. In 2012 Liljevalchs chose to exhibit “Swedish Handicraft 100 Years” which celebrated the Swedish handicraft 100 years back until today.

Action
Snask branded the exhibition and named it “The Handicraft at Liljevalchs”. A whole visual identity was created and carried out in exhibition design, catalogue, advertisement and more. The passion for material and the extremely high ambition and knowledge that many handicraft practitioners possess were important to show since it’s what drives people to keep working by hand and spreading knowledge and information to younger generations.
