Architects Kim Granberg and Johan Björn have

Architects Kim Granberg and Johan Björn, together with Generation Pepp, have developed a tailor-made walking track that both encourages students to move more and serves as an educational tool for improving eating habits. "We have created a playful and fun material for children that is easy for educators to use in everyday life," says Johan Björn.MURAL Architecture's new walking track is part of Generation Pepp's initiative to promote better eating habits among primary school children. The initiative relates to the Nordic nutritional recommendations that all children should eat at least 400-500 grams of fruit, vegetables and berries per day.The collaboration has involved extensive preparatory work, with six schools serving as references when designing the track. This spring, it will be made available for the first time to schools around the country. "We were really pleased when Generation Pepp got in touch and wanted to create a collaboration. Our values of physical activity combined with simplicity and joy are in line with what they want to achieve," says Johan Björn and continues. "We wanted to create something that was accessible and easy to use. We have tried to combine the recommendations of 400-500 grams of fruit and vegetables per day with our own concept.The fact that MURAL Arkitektur is now hooking up with Generation Pepp and launching the new movement track means that schools can purchase the product at a favourable price. - We know that schools don't have a lot of money, so it feels like a good thing to be able to offer this through Generation Pepp," concludes Johan Björn.

Markus Larsson has been running Creative Concrete for a few years and is currently one of the participants in eXpression Design. He likes the idea of mixing old and new and sees opportunities when others see scrap. Meet Markus in the middle of the process of the business development programme, which ends with a vernissage in May.🌟Tell me about your business and your creativity: - It so happened that we were missing a number of kerbstones for our driveway, so I thought: "I'll make my own!" And while I was at it, I made some concrete benches. That's when I realised I like the grey and robustness of concrete. Then I floated the idea of starting my own business with a friend who is an accountant. From there, my creativity has grown and I've also started to dabble in other types of materials. 🌟 How would you describe your creative expression? - I like the idea of mixing what is old with what is new. A bit like the show "New Old" that was on TV in the 70s and 80s. I guess I'm not a junkie exactly, but I try to see a potential in what others see as junk. Then, over the years, I've become more interested in design and curious about different expressions. Now I'm thinking of adding "Design" to my company name.Read the full interview on our website.
