Brand Identity for Snob Hôtel by Asís

The Snob Hôtel is a four star boutique hotel in Paris. It was conceived as a bourgeois abode, created in essence, to pay homage to the Parisienne lady. This complex yet charming ideal of snobbery represents the Parisienne’s ‘Eternal holiday maker’ spirit as much as her ‘chic and chilled’ demeanor.

The theme of greenery is very present in the hotel, symbolizing the Parisienne’s desire for a touch of authenticity, which she so often lacks. She thus flees towards a universal value: nature, as is perfectly illustrated by the ground floor’s panoramic wallpaper. Enormous brass lamps which you can picture adorning the front of a summer holiday home, a reception desk which evokes an antique family heirloom, all within a warm, mellow atmosphere, enriched with lush frondescence.

Brand Identity for Fine Blooms by Socio

Socio design studio was invited to help the Fine Blooms business establish a unique creative vision, and introduce a boldly different kind of floristry to the region. They brought in London-based florist Hattie Fox as founding creative director, to devise the distinctive style that would form the core of the brand.

With deep roots in both European and Arabian cultures, Fine Blooms is like no other florist in the world. Their unconventional approach is led by their commitment to seasonality and a belief in the power of flowers to transform space with color, energy and life.

The brand is animated by a constant tension between the cultural position of flowers as a historic source of inspiration for artists, writers and thinkers, and the untamed abundance of the natural world. Overtly classical elements — luxuriant black and white packaging, and a typographic style based upon the work of William Caslon* — offer a striking contrast to the rich imagery of lush botanical forms.

The visual heart of the brand is its distinctive photographic style, inspired by traditions of European fine art — the still life compositions and rich color of the Dutch Golden Age, and the painterly expression of the post-Impressionist era.

Branding for Dumpling Darlings by Foreign Policy

A dumpling bar with a twist, designed to break the mould of stereotypical Asian joints. The brand’s visual language is largely inspired by the Japanese manga found in Shokudos (casual Japanese eateries), with storylines based on a main character Jo and her pet pig, Pork Chop.

The logotype is also inspired by the vertical writing system and characteristic calligraphic quality of traditional Kanji. The contrasting mix of bright, electric colors is used to layer a pop treatment and youthful appeal to the brand. The interior design continues the visual language of a Shokudo, translated into a casual bar with cosy lighting and tongue-in-cheek graphics in various corners. The lights and canvas at the bar counter are both inspired by the intricate folds of dumplings.

Branding for Prospect Coffee Roasters by Alter

Prospect is a specialty coffee roasting and retail company started in 2014 by brothers Blake and Derek Ulrich in Ventura, California.

The identity Alter created for Prospect drew inspiration from the great legacy of American typographic branding. They were looking for a contemporary execution with an underlying sense of familiarity and character. Marr Sans by Commercial Type provided the perfect fit and works beautifully across a series of packages, each designed in a single size and weight.

To add dimension and tone Alter worked up a series of loose illustrations that eventually became a relaxed and welcoming thread throughout. They’re a kind of riff on how they imagine the Californian coffee experience. Pretty chill and super friendly.

Brand Identity for Crane by COLLINS

Over the last year, COLLINS has worked closely with Crane’s teams to revitalize their brand, reboot their digital presence, developing a more relevant brand voice as well as enabling new products, artist collaborations, and customization capabilities. Crane is exploring new ways of expressing the depth and design of their timeless, premium-quality 100% cotton products.

COLLINS have committed to the classic Crane blue with a slight update – dialing up its vibrancy while showcasing Crane’s printing and engraving capabilities. The stationery box itself becomes an object of hope, never to be put in a drawer or a closet but proudly displayed on a desk, a shelf, or a coffee table. When displayed in a store and at retail locations, the larger presence of the Crane brand functions as a clear signal of where their quality products can be found.
