NSB and the PLT Innovation Lab’ chose Ralston & Bau to create the scenography and identity for the NSB Leader conference in May 2010. NSB is the public Norwegian train transport company.
200 participants attended to the leader conference and worked around service, customer relations and processes during two days. Ralston & Bau created the scenography design for the space, including the physical materialization of the workstations and graphical profiling for the conference.
The whole mission took one month to execute, from ordering to the opening of the event.

The project leader Bente Kristin Malo, says:

“Det har vært spennende for meg å lære av dere og se hvordan vi kan gjøre ting slik at budskap forsterkes gjennom å skape spennende omgivelser. Og ikke aller minst oppleve et unikt kvalitetsnivå på leveranser! Jeg håper vi får muligheten til å samarbeide med dere igjen.”

“It has been exciting for me to learn from you; see how we can do things in a way that strengthens messages through captivating environments and last, but not least, experience a unique level of quality when it comes to the delivery! I hope I’ll get the opportunity to work with you again.”

Ralston & Bau are in the beginning of a new project: to design a 500 m2 hotel on the west coast of Norway. Our challenge and mission is to create a special place close to the values of our client; authentic living, foods and sustainability. The original building, a barrels factory is being replaced by a same size new structure using beautiful existing wood beams and a full glass front catching the sun for energy in it’s solar modules.

The design studio is commissioned for concept development, architecture and interior design.

In this beginning of the year Ralston & Bau has been asked to apply profiling designs on a series of small communication tools, such as cups, t-shirts and banners for the fair stand of Driftig.no Sogn og Fjordane’s Internet platform for education and businesses. The profiling of a company is only as strong as the coherent application that is made of it. Therefore we like to make the most of these communication tools. We consider them an opportunity to enrichen the initial design. Driftig.no will be present at carrier fairs all over Norway during 2010. The first date is in Oslo the 1st of February, (where you can also find Transplant represented), then in Trondheim the 11/02 and in Bergen the 16/02.

AccessA is Australia’s National Network for infertile patients. They support families which need knowledge and assistance on the path of getting a child. Handling this delicate subject, AccessA s’ aim is to inform and give a helping hand. AccessA’s strength is their international network that they use to keep artificial procreation matters on the top of the agenda in Australia and in the world.

Sandra Dill was one of Birgitta Ralston’s first clients in the beginning of the 90′s when they worked on the design for an international organisation. When Sandra needed design for AccessA, which she presides, she googled and found Birgitta! This was the beginning of a change of look from the outdated identity. Logo and the communication documents and website has been redesigned since. A newly designed website will soon be online as well.

We were inspired by the icons and colours of the aborigines for the head illustration used on the communication tools. Colours as orange, for the local earth, fresh blue and green are combined through the profile. We intended to make the information flow as easy as possible, resulting in two main sections: everything what describes the journey the member is facing are marked with blue; and the help AccessA provides uses a green background.

AccessA also confided in us the mission to design the AccessA newsletter on a yearly basis. with the creation of a new illustration for each issue.

The Willy furniture series is designed in three in different colour and material options. An interior collection has also been designed to fit with the furniture. It comes in two colours and material options for the textiles, floors and walls in each furniture series. To make the choice to select Willy furniture as simple as possible, we created system folders for the furniture & interior selection process.

The first part of the selection process involves choosing one of three Willy ocean themes (Pacific, Atlantic, Indian) that are representative of the colours and materials, after this you must select one of the fitting port themes (Los Angeles & Panama, Bergen & Havanna, Singapore & Mumbai) for the rest of the interior (besides the furniture). To complete the Willy look you choose then a general warm or cold theme for the less flexible parts of the ship that can only be slightly altered due to technical specifications such as the bridge and day rooms.  A simple graphic description guides you through these three Willy selection steps.

Bespoke furniture completed the interior of the intimate “Sous les Cerisiers” restaurant in Paris. The monumental bar, in the middle of the room, provides generous space for the Sakura cooking courses. Layers in bright and dark colors building the top in which a sink and a stove are integrated. The used material, a mix of granulated recycled plastic mixed with a polyester based plastic, has lovely natural details in itself and is 100% recyclable.
The tabletops of the dining area are made of the same material – in creamy tones for the bright area, in grey and brown for the dark. Small pieces, on top added, build a mini stage for japanese sauces and delicacies.

This intimate space in Paris is dedicated to a balanced fusion of Japanese and French gastronomy was designed by Ralston & Bau. “Sous les Cerisiers” (under the cherry trees) is your invitation to taste the delicious cooking of Sakura.

Both cultures have influenced the interior concept. A deep theatrical influence on the surroundings, typical in Japan and France, can be seen through the layers of scenography, costumes and shadows cast throughout the interior. A contrast of dark and light divides the room into two parts: the bright space with the bar as a center point is used for cooking courses during daytime, and the dark part, following a perspective angle, where the guests are placed to enjoy a gastronomic menu at night. Moveable and translucent walls separate the seating areas for privacy.

The official launch of the restaurant took place the 22 of September 2009.

Norway’s leading stair producer, Hagen, choose Ralston & Bau to transform an old tramway garage in Skøyen, Oslo  and make it into it’s flagship showroom.  The 1000 m2 space was inaugurated by Fabian Stang, the mayor of Oslo on the 27th of August 2009.

The concept is inspired by the works of the artist M. C. Escher, who used stairs as a major subject in his art. When you enter the showroom you arrive at the entrance of the Stair Garden – before your eyes different stairs are leading up to a second floor. Individually styled rooms give each stair a fitting surrounding, for example a Japanese inspired interior with a dark laqued stair and a happy family’s home entrance, where the stair becomes a playground.

Meeting spaces are included among the stairs. The whole Stair garden is an invitation to discover the product in an exquisite and human environment.

Måltidets Hus is the new 9000 m2 national and international resource centre for food development, host of the Gastronomic Institute and Norwegian chef team. Ralston & Bau was commissioned by Figgjo to make an permanent installation in the reception hall. A central wall that runs three flights high was transformed into a generous, vertical feast table. Combined iconic Figgjo dishes form organic shaped plates and bowls of the table, the wall was covered with a innovative laminated wood material simulating a linen table cloth. The wood was engraved with the shapes of ghost silver ware and glasses, while a classic chair backrest on the wall top completes the illusion of the vertical table. The installation was opened to the public on the 16th of September. If you are in Stavanger, just pass by to take your bite of the vertical meal.
The installation is published amongst others on David Report, NotCot and Designspotter.

Anders Thingbø, CEO Figgjo thinks: This project has had found it’s own path since it s truly innovative! The reception of the finished result was allround positive…and the final design a surprise to many.

“Willy is part of the whole, an interior concept developed exclusively for ships.” Jonny Bjørnset, Vestnes CEO.

.
To complete the Willy project, we designed a whole new identity. After developing the brand name Willy, we created a new logo, brochure and the web design for the super tanker company Vestnes Ocean Group. Inspired by the boats itself, we used strong colors, simple lines and the soft shapes of the furniture.

The maritime furniture collection Willy was first presented to the public in June 2007 at the International Shipping and Maritime Exhibition and Conference NorShipping in Oslo, Norway. In order to show Willy furniture in use as realistically as possible we asked an theater actor to live in the Willy fairstand for the full two days of the conference. Customers were able to sample and see how they sleep, sit, eat or read in a Willy furnished environment.

Vestnes Ocean is an experienced maritime interior builder and the initiator of the Willy furniture collection. We felt that the maritime furniture available on the market lacked an understanding of the living conditions on-board vessels. Willy, is the result of a strong knowledge of the boat industry and contemporary design skills. The designers Ralston & Bau, introduced simple shapes, new materials and techniques to make user friendly furniture.

“Low drawers are rounded, providing more floor-space for the feet and doors are soft, to make corners inoffensive. The furniture shapes are inspired by the famous orca Willy, who lived happily in a fjord close to Florø on the west coast of Norway, where Vestnes Innredning is located. We wish you a pleasant life in the company of Willy.” Jonny Bjørnset, Vestnes CEO.

After the concept sketching phase, we visualized the whole Willy range through 3D scale models in order to aide agreement with the project group over every detail. This also made it possible for us to visualize the functionality of the whole space.

The series has simple shapes and through the use of new materials and smart functions we created user-friendly, space optimized furniture.

The Willy furniture is designed in three series in different colour and material. An interior collection has also been designed to fit with the furniture. If you want to get to know more about the Maritime Furniture & Interior Collection click here, to see the Willy identity click here.

The concept development and design of this former East Finmark caravan park has transformed it into an internationally acclaimed luxury resort and the first Norwegian member of Design Hotels TM. The Other Side is inspired by the local Samé culture, the sport of dog mushing and the ornamental richness of nearby Russia.

The world of the owners was of great inspiration to the concept of The Other Side.
They are both experienced adventurers and dog mushers.

Twelve Element Houses are positioned in groups of three, providing private housing. Each are designed following the basic elements of the Samé culture; wind, fire and water. Outside the houses, the visitors confront nature; experience the magic of the midnight sun in summer, the Northern lights and the extreme cold of winter.

Neiden is situated only a few kilometers from the Russian border. Just next to the plateau there is an unique orthodox chapel. The project is under development.

Modular signal system for tourist information about continental Europe’s largest glacier and norwegian national park. Totem and information modules are placed at twenty seven information spots around the park.

The modules are fixed to the surface of the terrain with a concrete and wood structure. This structure is then covered with natural materials sourced from the surrounding area to create as natural a look as possible, as if the module has grown from the ground. For example, when the module is placed in an inbuilt area the module’s supporting structure is hidden by paving stones. When the structure is placed in a grassy field the structure is hidden by surrounding grass. The information on the modules has been specifically adapted to provide information regarding the area surrounding each module. The closer to the glacier, the more specific the information becomes about the glacier.

The main material of the modules is a mix of granulated recycled plastic mixed with a polyester based plastic which is 100% recyclable. The blue semi-transparent colour is custom made for this particular project and called “ice blue”. It was exclusively designed by Durat for Ralston & Bau.

Sur un Arbre Perché is a restaurant in Paris. The concept is based on a fable by Jean de la Fontaine,
“The Crow and the Fox” and proposes a space based on childrens dreams and contemporary comfort.

Just next to the heavy traffic of a Parisian boulevard, the restaurant presents a breath of fresh air with Nordic inspirations. Wood from a 200-year old barn has been utilized to create intimate spaces on different levels.  The white tree is placed centrally in the restaurant, spreading its leaves throughout the whole space. On the entry level it is covering the ceiling, on the first floor it is painted on the floor.
From the tree, four rocking chairs are hanging to receive guests for a relaxing meal for two. These seats are always reserved. The restaurant has several levels that create secluded intimate spaces. Sails diffuse and make the lighting more indirect. The Nest chair and table for 2 or 4 person was especially designed for this restaurant and are made out of rought iron and polyethylene.

Sur un Arbre Perché is a restaurant which offers different pleasures.
The restaurant includes a Tea and Shiatsu salon.
