Nils-Petter was commissioned by CarveSthlm to make an illustrated circular motion diagram for Consolis - where each pie slice would be like a miniature world or scene; showing the company's value chain from initial discussions with partners, to innovation and design, to responsible material sourcing, manufacturing, transportation and construction of buildings and infrastructure to a sustainable society. The different illustration parts had to work as stand alone illustrations and together as one circular chart, scalable to any size without distortion.
