Karlssonwilker On America

ON is a new print platform from design and graphic arts publisher Unit Editions in which designers examine a single subject. New York-based design studio Karlssonwilker take on ‘America’ in the debut issue.

Here, Karlssonwilker examine their adopted home of America. As outsiders who have been working in the US for 18 years, Jan Wilker and Hjalti Karlsson – German and Icelandic, respectively – offer up “a compilation of our thoughts and observations on our surroundings and encounters throughout our years in New York”.

The result is a blend of graphics, illustration and photography, charts, diagrams, facts and observations around an extensive Q&A between Wilker and Unit’s Adrian Shaughnessy.
