Co-founders Kjell Ekhorn (Norwegian) and Jon Forss (British) used to sit side-by-side in their London studio, where they founded Non-Format back in 2000. Since 2007, when Jon emigrated to Saint Paul, Minnesota, the duo has been working remotely. In 2009 Kjell moved back to Norway and is now based near Oslo. They continue to collaborate closely on projects including art direction, design, illustration and custom typography for clients such as Adobe, Coca-Cola, EMI, Gap, IBM, New York Times, Nike, Nokia, Rick Owens, Sony Music and a great many others. Their monograph, Love Song, was published in 2007 and their work has garnered many international design awards, with several projects included in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum. In 2015 Non-Format partnered with the Norwegian design firm ANTI, where they continue to collaborate via the kind of technology that now seems commonplace but which seemed otherworldly way back in 2007.
