Loksins
Loksins is a bar at the Keflavik International Airport in Iceland that offers weary travelers a more vibrant and eclectic atmosphere than the average sterile airport pit stop. Karlssonwilker developed Loksin's identity, naming, and environmental graphics. We chose the name "Loksins" as it translates to "finally" in Icelandic. Whether this expresses the sentiment of finding a bar after a grueling check-in process or the relief of reaching your destination after a long flight is up to each traveler's interpretation.
Loksins boasts Iceland’s largest range of craft beers from the local brewery Borg Brugghús, and is a popular stop for travelers who pass through this busy airport.

A variety of wall pieces that speak to Icelandic culture were installed on the back wall. Some featured helpful instructions, such as the proper way of consuming Icelandic libations and the process of fermenting shark.
We designed a manual "daylight calendar" that showed the amount of daylight for each week of the year in Iceland.
In addition to posters, signage, and menus, we designed clocks, a four-sided rotating sign. and a neon shark.
