Olle Eksell

Olle Eksell (born Carl Olof Lennart in Ål, Sweden; March 22, 1918 – April 11, 2007) was a Swedish graphic designer and poster artist, and a professor until 2001. He was married to artist Ruthel Günzberger. He gave shape to the classic Mazetti eyes, a motif he designed in the 1950s for Ögon Cacao, a Swedish chocolate brand. He was a member of the world jury of typography at the International Center for Graphic Arts in New York. He wrote the book Design = Economy where he advocated for integrating aesthetic principles with economic functionality.
