Gallery Hopping with Parasto Backman

Stockholm’s vibrant art scene has become a reliable resource for Parasto Backman, a designer whose goal is complex in its simplicity.

Her eponymous studio’s work for art galleries, architects, theaters and book publishers is bright and bold, with an intricacy in its layers. “I aim to broaden the palette of graphic design,” she says.

Backman’s approach is based on extremes, oscillating between solitude and collaborations with those who bring new perspectives and methods. “I work in an exploratory way, often with people that might not be expected within the context of the project. Together, we tell stories that usually aren’t told.”

Here, Parasto recommends the three of art spaces in Stockholm where she finds inspiration.
