The visual identity revolves around a singular monogram that allows us to adopt a minimal global graphic language.

Logo & monogram

We drew our inspiration from classic monumental typography.  Playing with the particle of the name, the disappearance of the initials brings a lightness of being.

French leader in limousine service, Chabé has been a family business since 1921.

In a « uberised » market, Chabé needed to redefine the territory of its legacy brand and make a different statement from its competitors.

Frontline studio was commissioned to design a new visual identity and an efficient website.

Based on the brand strategy, we totally rethought the offer, the structure, the wording as well as the customer experience on new Chabé website.

It was important for us to get away from the cliché images of chauffeurs opening car doors. We wanted to give a more poetical & emotional look on the profession.

French fervor, traditional, intimate, nostalgic

Founded by Alison Ross and Ian Benton, an Anglo-American couple who fell in love with France and Paris, La Chambre Paris is a brand of high-end linen sold online combining great quality and affordable prices, eco-friendly trade and French chic : lachambreparis.com

La Chambre entrusted us with the creation of their global branding.  We worked closely with the founders on storytelling, visual identity, web design and artistic direction of photos to position the brand in a competitive e-commerce market.

Visual identity

We drew our inspiration from French traditional white linen with its characteristic red line. The double red line is used as a leitmotif on in the entire visual identity of the brand.

Inspiring customer experience

Create envy, and leave the sanitized aspects related to the constraints of e-commerce. We have given much attention to the images of atmosphere and the graphic territory of the brand while responding to the constraints of e-commerce.

Artistic direction & photo shoots

We have taken particular care in the design and production of photos to translate the quality and feel of the textile on screen, to meet the constraints of the e-shop and show the intrinsic qualities of the products and the positioning top of the line.

Simplicity and sophisticated nonchalance

The best stonemason workshop in Europe, famous for its technical mastery and unique industrial tools, decided to reposition itself by creating a new name and new visual identity.

Brand identity

We have been missioned to create the brand and to develop its identity through all communication canals: website, social media, brochure, catalogues, media…

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

Corporate
communication

We choose to draw from the tradition of a classical architecture using the drawing of Trianon palace in Versailles.

Brochures

In order to communicate with professionals and promoters, we created several brochures explaining and simplifying the complex technical process of Heres mastery.
