Last year was busy at 14islands.

We collaborated with 15 clients, completed 20 projects, shipped 10 public experiences, won 16 major awards, and nominated Studio of the Year.

Our collaborations included work with Spotify, the United Nations, Klarna, and Qualcomm, to name a few.

Here are some of our public experiences of 2023.

Neko

We designed and built Neko's website, successfully filling all spots at their health clinics on launch day. Neko is a Swedish HeathTech startup co-founded by Daniel Ek of Spotify and other visionaries. The site won CSS Design Awards, FWA, and the Lovie Awards in Health.

Quantum Wallet

Designed by 14islands, Quantum Wallet is the first-ever hardware wallet powered by quantum computing. While the product doesn't exist in real life yet, this provocative website sparked online discussions and won Awwwards, CSS Design Awards, and FWA. It also brought us Developer of the Year and Website of the Year nominations.

We continued enhancing the "Is the world getting better?" experience with UNDP Sweden. The ice on the cake was winning the Swedish Design Awards Silver together with our UNDP friends.

Ankra

We helped Ankra ship a brand new product with a design system created by 14islands. It was a highly productive collaboration to get the product in hands of users.

Pluto

Our rewarding collaboration with Pluto continued last year, and we shipped a spatial Developer Portal and Pluto's Brand evolution. As usual, we designed and built Pluto Spatial-First (AR/VR) while adapting smoothly to 2D worlds on mobile and desktop screens.

14islands.com V4

We shipped a new site for 14islands this year. The site better showcases our services and culture, includes more case studies, and increases our focus on sharing our knowledge with Journal articles. The site won all awards under the Sky, including Awwwards, CSS Design Awards, and FWA.

Lynxeye

Lynxeye is a Stockholm-based strategy firm working with world-leading brands. We created a new site to position Lynxeye among the big consulting firms in the world — precisely the impact it has had on their business.

Clean and minimalist desktop and mobile interface.

Aila

We created a generative AI assistant to answer questions about our creative services and called her Aila (AI + islands). She's self-evaluating, as our goal with Aila is to bring more transparency to AI conversations. Aila rates her knowledge behind each answer and links to relevant sources.

Herokit

HeroKit is a new product born out of 14islands to supercharge your website. It lets you create and embed stunning visuals on any website in minutes. HeroKit works with popular no-code website builders such as Framer, WebFlow, Wix, and Squarespace. These builders are making web design available to more people, and we want to bring our most creative work to the game.
