Career
In 2005, he founded Bedow, his eponymous design studio based in Stockholm, which focuses on conceptual branding, packaging, and editorial design. His work has been recognised for its simple, thoughtful, practical design that’s easy to engage with and comfortable to have around. One of Bedow's noted projects includes the packaging concept 'A Lovely Atmosphere', for which he received the Excellent Swedish Design award in 2025. Between 2017 and 2018, Bedow hosted the podcast Grafisk Design, where he interviewed 15 prominent designers in the Swedish design community. The podcast explored various aspects of the design industry, including studio culture, branding, and creative processes. In 2025, Bedow designed a set of five commemorative postage stamps for Sweden's national postal service PostNord, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Svenska Dagbladet Gold Medal. The stamps feature the five athletes who have won the award twice: Björn Borg, Ingemar Stenmark, Anja Pärson, Sarah Sjöström, and Armand Duplantis. In December 2025, Bedow designed a new club identity for football club Enskede IK. The design received criticism from supporters and was covered in Swedish media including Expressen.
