DESCRIPTION

There is no doubt that the best part of a cinnamon bun is the gooey bit in the middle. All the good stuff, gathered in one place.

 

But what if we could create a gravitational pull strong enough to draw the entire bun into the centre? Almost like creating a cinnamon bun singularity. It might sound philosophical, but in reality, it’s simply a question of physics.

​

To answer the Swedish people's demand for more centre, we asked some of the world's sharpest minds to calculate the ultimate cinnamon bun shape. After countless hours in the lab, we finally revealed the result: The Bun Ball.

ABOUT

We're a so-called "award-winning creative duo" currently living and working in Stockholm. Think years of experience across agencies,
in-house teams, startups, global brands and non-profits, mixed with
junior energy and just the right amount of naivety. In other words: experienced enough to know what we're doing, naïve enough to keep surprising ourselves.

 

So, what's next? Have a look around, be impressed, and get in touch.

Background

There is no doubt that the best part of a cinnamon bun is the gooey bit in the middle. All the good stuff, gathered in one place.

 

But what if we could create a gravitational pull strong enough to draw the entire bun into the centre? Almost like creating a cinnamon bun singularity. It might sound philosophical, but in reality, it’s simply a question of physics.

​

To answer the Swedish people's demand for more centre, we asked some of the world's sharpest minds to calculate the ultimate cinnamon bun shape. After countless hours in the lab, we finally revealed the result: The Bun Ball.

Det råder inga tvivel om att kanelbullens mest åtråvärda del är den underbart kladdiga delen i mitten. 

Allt gott samlat på ett ställe. Tänk om allt bara bestod av mitten? Det låter filosofiskt men faktum är att det bara är en enkel frågeställning om fysik.

För att möta det svenska folkets önskemål om mer mitten, lät vi några av världens skarpaste hjärnor ta fram en formel på den optimala kanelbulleformen. Efter otaliga timmar i labbet kan vi äntligen ge er slutresultatet: Kanelbollen.

DESCRIPTION

In Sweden, Cinnamon Bun Day is a big deal. Every year, millions of cinnamon buns are bought and eaten. Yet one in four Swedes still prefer homemade ones. For the Swedish convenience store Pressbyrån,
that meant missing out on a huge group of potential customers.

​

There are no official rules for what makes a cinnamon bun “homemade”. Except one: it has to be made in a home.

​

We had to do the only reasonable thing: We had to turn Pressbyrån
into a home.

Together with Stallhagen Brewery in Åland and the Baltic Sea Action Group, we actually brewed the world’s first beer made with water from the
Baltic Sea. And with part of every sale supporting research and conservation efforts, people could now raise a glass to the Baltic Sea and cheer for
its recovery.
