Both chic and relaxed, WILS restaurant signed by young Dutch star chef Joris Bijdendijk, faces the Amsterdam Olympic stadium built by architect Jan Wils, which hosted the 1928 Olympics.

The flame that inspired the design of the W monogram refers both to the Olympic flame and to Joris Bijdendijk’s unique wood-fired cooking technique.

The custom-made font is made to convey these ideas. The O captures the attention and becomes a wheel with its axis.

Our branding system revolves around the wheel and the dynamics that follow.

Successful collaboration during several years where we established Heres on international professional market.

The promise:
“Living in classical architecture”

An appealing baseline to enter the world of Hérès.

Website

A feeling of majesty and sovereignty. For the website we used a classical language: symmetrical, centered, with beautiful dropcaps like in an old book.

Logo & visual identity

French bees: Positioning a small business in a luxury market

Client
Un jour, du ciel

Mission
Logo Design, Brand Identity,
Packaging Design

We wanted to create a luxury product with a particular flavor that carries with it a form of modesty, a thousand-year-old simplicity that has value only in authenticity. The visual identity responds to aesthetic codes that are both noble and monastic. The use of a serif typeface evokes a world of tradition, the icon of the bee, very graphic, doesn’t take its source in any related reference.

Creating an international showcase for an Opera director

Client
Vincent Huguet, Opera director

Mission
Website design

Vincent Huguet is a director of opera.  Trained as an historian, he is a publisher, columnist and playwright.  In 2014 he became Patrice Chereau’s assistant for the production of Elektra in Aix en Provence and has continued his career as a director.

Website
conception & design

Vincent Huguet directed The Moon Wave After the Rain,  Don Quixote with Marc Minkowski, Three Women with Sebastien Daucé, Vaille que Vivre with Alexander Tharaud and Juliette Binoche.  The Parisian Life with Marc Minkowski, Werther with Lorenzo Viotti, Dido & Aeneas at the Festival in Aix-en-Provence.

The visual identity of the website communicates with poetic sensitivity, in a lyrical and narrative universe.  The graphic proposal meets the codes of an opera program. 

The use of a lyrical serif typeface evokes a literary and refined world.  The atmosphere plunges us into the intimacy of the show;  the site then fades before the work of the director.
