In 2011, two architects travelled to Copenhagen. They found themselves in awe by the minimalistic way of living with a bike as a way of transportation. Dedicating themselves to bring this lifestyle with them back to Lisbon they quickly became a part of the sprout of bikeculture in the Portoguese capital.

Divided between Norway and England, photography and illustration, Joakim Heltne has without a doubt found his calling. His minimalistic and clean language flows through both his forms of expression, however, his artwork is stripped down to a level he explains as; “where there isn’t much left to look at.“

Coming from very different backgrounds, Henri Desgrange and Géo Lefévre played a very important part of the creation and evolution of French cycling history. With their help whilst in a desperate position to save their jobs, Desgrange and Lefévre established an event that over a hundred years later still is the worlds greatest sporting event. Tour de France has successfully placed the country of love on the map in the cycling world.

Architecture, graphic lines and rhythmic patterns are what makes Marius Svaleng Andresen’s (@lekestove) Instagramfeed so pleasing to the eye. Shared in a grid of three, his pictures creates a surreal illusion of what the world looks like through a camera lens. But even with his consistent and minimalistic style, there is a part of him in every single photo. November, last year, he even got to exhibit his photographs in Oslo and a great deal were sold to become a part of someone elses lives.

Only two years after its launch, Paper Collective have grown to become a significant platform for modern poster design and art prints, as well as an inspiration regarding their approach to sustainable and responsible production. The company brings together their favourite graphic designers, agencies, artists and illustrators to create graphic print while promoting good causes and charities.

Finding his passion for cycling after the age of 40, François Paoletti makes the history of the professional cycling world accessible for anyone interested.
