Concept: The foundation of the visual identity is the Swedish light and its variations throughout the presidency period. Additionally, the shared colors of Sweden and the EU serve as key design elements. One important element is also a focus on Swedish craftsmanship. Through this visual identity, we establish a cohesive graphic expression that ensures the Swedish Presidency is easily recognizable. 
The assignment: was to design the rooms and press areas, incorporating furniture, technology, lighting, and decoration. The design should feel modern, Swedish, and sustainable.

The presidency also includes representing Sweden in the Council Building in Brussels. The assignment was carried out by the Swedish Institute in collaboration with the Government Offices of Sweden. The concept and design was made by Färg & Blanche. The concept of The Yellow Thread is inspired in part by the phrase the common thread, or röda tråden in Swedish. At the same time, the thread represents a connection between people, countries, communities, and ideas. There are 27 arches on each side of the atrium in the Justus Lipsius building. These arches symbolized the Member States of the European Union—mutually supporting one another, sharing pillars, and standing together on common ground.
