OlssønBarbieri’s charming identity for Stavanger Ysteri juggles nature, mythology and philosophy

Norweigan artisanal urban cheese factory Stavanger Ysteri was founded by Lise Brunborg with the aim to service traditional, generational family recipes; harnessing science and tradition with the hope to set an example towards organic food production and ‘the future of food.’ Commissioning Oslo-based design practice OlssønBarbieri, the Stavanger-based dairy proprietors have cemented their brand identity after five years of production, in which time Brunborg has made a name for herself within the food industry, renowned and utilised across Norway’s best restaurants. Succeeding in aligning the quality and reputation of the cheese with its aesthetic, the identity is a reflection of passion, vision and tradition; creating a handsome visual system that takes inspiration from Brunborg’s personal fascination with nature, mythology and philosophy and the concoction of the three.
