Both are alumni of Konstfack's Bachelor's programme in Graphic Design and Illustration. Otis graduated in 2023 and Einar in 2025. Today they both run their own practices, working across a range of visual expressions, graphic design, and web development.

In the winning concept, the designers have used the classic, playful drawing game "connect the dots" as a way of speaking about research and process – about how things are linked together. Thoughts, themes, people, artistic freedom... but also as a way of describing the path into Konstfack and how, once here as a student, you can connect the dots in your own, completely unique way.

"For us, artistic research is about reconnecting – challenging habitual ways of thinking and creating unexpected connections. As a starting point for our design system, we created our own connect-the-dots game based on the word "vårutställning". The dots can be connected "correctly" to spell out the word, or reconnected freely, allowing for multiple layers of meaning and expression," say Otis Huss and Einar Zotterman.
