Function
+ identity.
The main issue was the lack of a defined corporate identity, which made the brand harder to recognise and position in a highly competitive and visually saturated market.

An identity that moves.
The system keeps its character from a screen to a product tag sewn onto the object.

“Function solves a need. Identity makes the object matter.”
The project turns a real craft practice into a recognisable and scalable brand, without separating product, cultural context and personality.
