His journey of discovery has included the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam and his own business Konst och Teknik. He has published both printed and digital books, is an invaluable collaborator on typography issues and an enthusiastic communicator of knowledge. Peter Ström is awarded the Berling Prize 2018 for his inspiring typographic breadth and unique knowledge."
