As a freelance illustrator and graphic designer, I was commissioned to create illustrations for Tanum Bookstore’s enamel mugs. This assignment was part of a merchandise collection sold in Tanum’s stores in Oslo as well as at their locations in Norwegian airports.

The aim of the design was to capture the essence of local culture and identity through visual expression. Each illustration includes elements and dialect expressions that highlight the uniqueness of each location, so that each cup served not only as an object of use, but also as a memory of the place it represents.

In addition, a small series of cups was developed and sold at Christmas.
