A way of working

Attuning

S93 is a semestral magazine about Seyðisfjörður, Iceland: a remote village where art, nature and everyday life meet. The road S93 becomes both a route into the landscape and a metaphor for connection, arrival and return.

Project notes +

S93 takes its name from the road to Seyðisfjörður. The publication follows that route into a place shaped by landscape, art and everyday life.

A publication shaped by a place and the people who pass through it.

“A route is never only a line between two points. It is everything encountered along the way.”S93 · Editorial concept
01 / Brief

Give a place room to speak.

Create a semestral magazine about Seyðisfjörður, Iceland, bringing together its landscape, people and cultural life.

02 / Challenge

Find orientation in a shifting landscape.

Season, light and weather shape life in the fjord; the magazine needed to reflect a perspective that is never fixed.

01 / Place

A living archive.

Rather than documenting Seyðisfjörður as a fixed destination, the publication gathers shifting perspectives: the road, the horizon, the people and the traces they leave.

Two seasons, two ways of seeing.

The summer issue follows Miðnætursól, the midnight sun; the winter issue turns to Heimskautanótt, the polar night. A recurring horizon line rises and falls with the shifting relationship between mountains, water and sky.

02 / Editorial language

Structure with room to roam.

The visual system gives each voice a place without fixing it in place. Image, typography and rhythm hold a clear frame open to different readings.

A road as route and point of connection.

Named after the road that links Seyðisfjörður to the rest of Iceland, S93 becomes a metaphor for the artists, places, practices and stories that converge in the fjord.

03 / Circulation

A place you can return to.

The magazine becomes both an archive and a route: something to revisit, carry forward and connect with everyday life.

What I brought homeAttuning

To design for a place is to attune to it.

Time, light and material are not a backdrop; they can become part of the visual language.
