WALLSTORIES<br />

NORWAY<br />

DIGITAL ARTWORK<br />

Based in Oslo, Norway, Wallstories is a collective of designers offering a minimalistic perspective on some of the most celebrated places and buildings<br />

in Norway. Their harmonious compositions and simplistic approach seek to emphasize the expressiveness of the local architecture, nature and scenery<br />

by removing unnecessary elements, thereby accentuating the lines and shapes that make Norway’s visual motifs iconic.<br />

The concept behind Wallstories was born out of the curious observation that thousands of Norwegian homes are decorated with black-and-white<br />

prints of urban destinations like New York City, London and Paris. To provide an alternative that showcased Norway’s local history—its remarkable<br />

landmarks and enchanting landscapes—Wallstories was established in 2019. Since then, Wallstories has portrayed nearly 100 Norwegian sites, with<br />

each print revealing a story about the illustrated place through clean lines and compositions, often incorporating lively color palettes.<br />
