Westergas

Westergas is Amsterdam’s Cultural Park, open day and night to anyone seeking new energy. On the grounds of the former Westergasfabriek, where the gas that once lit the streets of Amsterdam was produced, energy takes on a new meaning today. The Westergas site has a rich history; the exteriors of the 17 industrial buildings have remained largely unchanged since the closure of the Westergasfabriek in 1967. Today, these factory buildings serve as a breeding ground for art and culture. In close collaboration with the Dutch design agency STAAT, Andreas developed an illustrated, colorful campaign that covered all of Amsterdam in the form of billboards, animations and various printed materials.

SOIL Hotel, Tokyo

A 14-room neighborhood hotel tucked away on a quiet side street, just steps from a bustling main road in central Tokyo. Ahead of the hotel’s opening, Andreas created a series of simple graphic artworks that adorn the entrance, every guest room, and the restaurant area. These graphic shapes and colors act as a complement to the building’s architecture, the site-specific interior and the lush plants that surround the entire project. 東京中心部の賑やかな大通りからほんの数歩の静かな路地にひっそりと佇む、客室数14室の地域密着型ホテル。開業に先立ち、アンドレアスはエントランス、全客室、そしてレストランエリアを彩る一連のシンプルなグラフィックアート作品を制作しました。これらのグラフィックな形状と色彩は、建物の建築様式、敷地の特性を活かしたインテリア、そしてプロジェクト全体を囲む豊かな植物と見事に調和しています。

Flos

An illustrated story by Andreas Samuelsson, created in collaboration with Flos and Apartamento Studios. 265 Small Designed by Paolo Rizzatto. The 265 returns in a more compact version, a companion to the original that maintains its precise proportions in a diminutive form. In 1973, Rizzatto applied an architectural sensibility to lighting. Intuitive, technical and precise, the result is as simple as it gets: a suspended wall lamp composed of a head and a weight, each balanced at the extremities of an adjustable arm and attached to the wall in an asymmetric position.

Shapes, Vases and Houses

“Over time, I have collected forms, studying details and the subtle shifts in lines and proportions. My interest in the unique object is endless, ranging from the everyday to advanced forms that challenge my initial perception. Communicating through form is a vital part of my life; it distills words, feelings, and impressions into a single point, allowing the viewer space for their own interpretation. While I inherently prefer simplicity, a tension arises in the meeting between organic, living forms and those that are stripped down. When placed in a series, the living expression is heightened by the presence of the minimalist.” — Andreas Samuelsson This ongoing artistic project features hand-painted shapes in black gouache on wood pulp board. To date, the series has resulted in a collection of original artworks, three books and exhibitions at Nieves, Zürich, Switzerland.

Emoji Library

Launched to immediate acclaim, the Emoji Library reached the top of Apple’s App Store download charts upon its release. Journalist Lucy Bourton of It’s Nice That described the project as “the emojis you always wanted (and some you didn’t know you needed),” with the platform’s coverage garnering millions of views and ranking among their ten most-read articles. The project proposes a new visual shorthand — a way of looking at communication through a simple, graphic lens paired with a human and humorous tone. Currently containing several hundred icons, the library is designed to expand into a comprehensive visual language, blending classic symbols with abstract imagery that captures complex emotions and thoughts. リリース直後から大きな反響を呼んだ「絵文字ライブラリ」は、AppleのApp Storeダウンロードランキングでトップに躍り出ました。「It’s Nice That」のジャーナリスト、ルーシー・バートン氏は、このプロジェクトを「誰もがずっと欲しかった絵文字（そして、必要だと気づいていなかった絵文字も）」と評し、同プラットフォームの特集記事は数百万回の閲覧数を記録し、最も読まれた記事トップ10にランクインしました。このプロジェクトは、シンプルでグラフィカルな表現と、人間味あふれるユーモラスなトーンを組み合わせた、新しい視覚的な略語を提案しています。現在数百種類のアイコンを収録しているこのライブラリは、複雑な感情や思考を捉える抽象的なイメージと古典的なシンボルを融合させた、包括的なビジュアル言語へと発展していく予定です。
