Bakken & Bæck

Strategy, design and code sit under one roof at Bakken & Bæck, the studio started in Oslo in 2011 and still owned by the people who founded it. More than sixty designers, engineers and strategists work across five offices — Amsterdam, Barcelona, Bonn, London and Oslo — on brands, websites and digital products, from positioning and naming through prototyping, design systems and full-stack development.

The client list runs from early-stage companies to names such as Coinbase, Phantom, Ramp, IKEA, Stripe, Snap and Google DeepMind, and the studio reports over 500 clients in fifteen years. Artificial intelligence is treated as a working material rather than a novelty: Bakken & Bæck has combined PhD-level research with practical delivery for more than a decade, and folds model integration into its engineering offer.
