BIOGRAPHY

Norwegian design duo Darling Clementine, founded by Ingrid Reithaug and Tonje Holand, is known for its distinctive blend of illustration and product design. The two met in Oslo years ago and quickly realized their shared creative vision. "It felt like fate brought us together," they say. "From our very first meeting, we knew this would change our lives." As freelance illustrators, Darling Clementine has developed a diverse portfolio, ranging from children's design to classic editorial illustration. They also have their own product line, featuring greeting cards, cushion covers, kitchen towels, and porcelain. This fall, they will launch their very own tea brand. Their work extends to editorial projects for interior and fashion magazines as well as packaging design. Their collaborative process is unique—one starts an illustration, and the other completes it. "We share an almost identical aesthetic and rarely disagree on creative decisions. It’s like having someone who can visually read your mind!" Their inspiration comes from both Scandinavian design legends like Poul Henningsen, Finn Juhl, and Marimekko, as well as international graphic icons such as Paul Rand, Abner Graboff, and Lora Lamm.
