Est. 2014 — København
A studio profile
We’re a small studio that makes brands feel considered, not decorated.
Eleven designers, writers and developers in a former print shop in Nørrebro. We work with a handful of founders each year — from first sketch to the shelf.

(02) Story
2014 — Today
Two friends, one borrowed press and a lease on an old print shop. We still set the first draft of every identity by hand.
Njord began in 2014, when Anders and Mads left agency life to work on fewer things, for longer. The shop on Guldbergsgade came with a Heidelberg press nobody knew how to run — we learned.
Ten years on we’re eleven people, but the habit stuck: slow starts, physical proofs, and a rule that whoever pitches a project stays on it until launch day.

How we work
P.01
Focus
Fewer, better projects
We take on around twelve clients a year, so the people you meet in the pitch are the people who make the work.
P.02
Craft
Proof it on paper
Every identity is printed, pinned and lived with for a week before a client sees it on screen.
P.03
Honesty
Say the quiet part early
If a brief, budget or timeline isn’t working, we’ll tell you in week one — not in the final review.
P.04
Care
Stay after launch
We keep a standing hour with every client for a year after launch, to tune what the real world teaches us.
