PLACEBO EFFECTS is an Oslo, Norway based company that provides architecture, graphic design and visual communication services. We are among the top five visualization companies in the Nordic region according to the Forum Magazine - a quarterly magazine on Nordic architecture, interiors and design. Recently our award winning design hotel project in Risor, Norway received international recognition through the leading architecture magazine FRAME (March/April 2007).

Our company is part of the DARK group and was founded in 1999 and has since helped numerous major Norwegian corporations with their design and visual communication needs. Our projects have so far taken us all over Norway and abroad to London, Luxembourg, St. Petersburg, Beograd, New York, Ajman, Bangladesh and Beijing.
