Fantasy Interactive recently went and did the only sane thing they could do - they started focusing on web standards instead of all-encompassing Flash-sites. In their own words: "Today in Fi, you will only find Flash in places it needs to be and fits". They will continue to make all-flash microsites. But other than that, I think their work is going to be a lot more relevant from now on ... and a lot more inspiring. What's more, they're now "The Interactive Firm".

Bombia is a small Swedish agency that specializes in beautiful, pixel perfect icon and web design. I'd sure love to hire these guys to help me out with an upcoming project, as their attention to details and quality is world class. Their recently redesigned site runs on ExpressionEngine and is one of the most deliciously pretty tabbed designs I've seen. Ever.

Kokokaka is a production company located in Gothenburg, Sweden. Founded in 2001 and has since produced some of the most awarded web commercials in the world. There's probably quite a few in their portfolio that you will recall. There's no suprise that Flash is used throughout, and it works well for them. Wonderful site.

I have two things to say about this site; 1) the photographs are outstanding and 2) the unusual site navigation works surprisingly well. Simon's photos are, in my opinion, very fascinating in themes and really make me think about the situations in which they were taken. The site navigation makes use of js fx that roll out the content and in turn makes you have to scroll vertically to see the photos in each series. This, for some reason, is a very pleasing way to enjoy his photos.

Stockholm-based RBG6 makes some of the most beautiful retro-style video and graphic design work I've seen in a while. The work on display truly stands out in a crowd, and the presentation is quite spiffy, too. Via Computerlove™.

Filippa Smedhagen Sund's portfolio is, as far as I can recall, the first makeup artist's portfolio to be featured here on Styleboost. Its striking use of photography as well as the surprisingly easy to understand, yet highly experimental navigation of the site come together and combine forces for a great user experience. Slick and powerful.

A glossy flashfolio from Stockholm-based Lifelike features some delicious water-fx. Quite simply a nice site. Another thing that makes this one stand out from the lot, is the fact that they've added a very nicely designed html page with the highlights from the Flash version. Kudos to Lifelike for taking the time to do this.

This is the promo site for the latest class of students attending Sweden's world famous school of new media, HyperIsland. These site's are launched every year, and every single time they make use of Flash. This could be bad, but in HyperIsland's case, they truly know how to handle Flash, and create sites that push the limits of the technology creatively. The Crew12 site is beautiful and an impressive piece work that in fact pushes the limits of what my laptop can handle, making the transitions a bit laggy.

As far as I can tell, Djin is a Swedish webshop selling mobile phones and other gadgets. The moment I first laid my eyes on this one, I loved it. At the same time, I'd like to point out that the site is far from perfect in my eyes. I just really love some of the graphics, the colors, the layout and the "harmony". Both the header and the footer are beautiful, too. I just wish they perfected the design of the site.
