Opplyst, a new permanent exhibition at The National Library of Norway, has now opened. The title, meaning ‘Enlightened’, refers to the exhibition’s central concept: thirty highly-significant objects from the country’s history put on display together for the first time and based on a concept of light arising from darkness, with every aspect bespoke-designed by Nissen Richards Studio, including branding and graphics, in order to create this dramatic immersion into Norway’s fascinating history.

Nissen Richards Studio has designed a new identity system and website for Cardiff music venue Clwb Ifor Bach, inspired by the plan for the forthcoming venue revamp. The new logomark represents a vertical re-telling of the new building configuration, also designed by Nissen Richards Studio – whilst also referencing sound bars. This triple dynamism is further reflected in the new logotype, which uses a combination of different typeface weights to convey movement and music.

Nissen Richards Studio has created a new identity and brand applications for Wordsworth Grasmere, bringing together the classic and contemporary through a bespoke set of characters initially inspired by Baskerville, the typeface used to print Wordsworth’s first editions. The logo’s unique ligature represents connection and references handwriting, as does its ink-and-water-stained background, created in a number of colours to reflect the site and surrounding landscape.
