Niels Hartmann
Niels Hartmann (1931–1978)[1] was a Danish graphic designer. He worked with the LEGO Group from the late 1960s designing packaging and catalogues.
Hartmann was educated in art at Kunsthåndværkerskolen (now called the Danish Design School) from 1946–1950. In 1950 he established the studio Hartmann Design with his brother Jørgen Hartzack Hartmann. Niels moved his business to Helsingborg in Skåne, Sweden in 1958, to the Danish island Als in 1959, and to Malmö in Skåne again from 1960–1963.[1] In 1967 he became a member of Alliance Graphique Internationale.[2] That same year he opened his own studio in Copenhagen, Niels Hartmann Industriel-grafik A/S, which he operated until his death in 1978.[1][3]
Starting in the late 1960s Hartmann was involved in Dot Zero Design Group, a studio co-owned by the LEGO Group. (there's not a lot to say here but a lot of 70s art books credit him with a lot of Lego boxes, so include those and how he's sometimes co-credited for the Lego logo)
