Branding, packaging and website design for fine jewellery, fashion houses and boutiques in Dubai.
From the box to the feed, the identity, the packaging, the campaign and the website hold together, so a piece reads the same in the window, on the product page and in the story.
The work runs from jewellery branding and packaging design to the fashion website, the lookbook and the campaign.
Clients include La Vie and Uzay in jewellery, and Iriana and AIM in fashion.
It starts with one conversation about the collection and who buys it.

The identity, the website, the sales collateral and the campaign are designed together, so a project reads the same on the hoarding, in the brochure and on the screen.

The identity, the menu, the packaging and the social content are designed together, so the room, the table and the phone read as one place.
The work runs from the restaurant logo and the menu design to the takeaway packaging, the website and the reels for the feed.
The menu is designed from one list for print and for the phone, so the QR version is a page that reads on a screen, not a PDF.
For Lento, an all-day restaurant in Addis Ababa, the studio designed the identity, the packaging, the menu and the interior direction.
Read moreA brand is not finished when the logo is approved. It is finished when the website says the same thing, the feed looks like the same company and the next campaign starts from the same idea. That is why the studio does all four itself.
We work with developers and brokerages, jewellers and fashion houses, cafés and restaurants, and with cultural clients such as Expo 2020 Dubai and the Museum of the Future. Each case says what was delivered, and which pictures are mock-ups or renders.
