The Myrsäter family has been manufacturing interiors as subcontractors for brands since the 1980s. As they make the leap to designing furniture under their own name, we were asked to update their identity. Our solution is a nod to the family’s past in racing while celebrating the meticulous craftsmanship behind every piece.
The name Myrsäter actually derives from the name of a horse farm. The silhouette of a prancing horse merged with a cutout of an engine forms a totally unique family crest. The new crest was created in a detailed grid, making it scalable to ensure a great impression in any space.
With inspiration from the streamlined design seen in the in the world of motors, we created a custom wordmark to accompany the family crest. The dynamic expression and the slightly forced ligatures take us back to classic chrome logos of thunderbirds and zodiacs.
From a distance, each piece of furniture forms an appealing silhouette, but when you get up close you can really start to appreciate the craftsmanship in every detail. The family crest works in a similar way, with four different versions and a progressively increasing level of detail.
