E11VN— Beyond Ordinary. Coffee, Matcha, Sandos & Music. Because normal is boring.

E11VN— Beyond Ordinary. Coffee, Matcha, Sandos & Music. Because normal is boring.
BRANDING

Located at The Drive By The Waterway, Cairo, E11VN is a curated collision of two worlds: the artisanal precision of specialty coffee and the raw, visceral pulse of live music. To capture this duality, we developed a "taped" visual language—a strategic shift away from digital polish toward a more tactile, human experience—centred around a bespoke typeface handcrafted from physical tape. This raw, unfiltered aesthetic acts as a powerful metaphor for the brand's core concept of "binding" sound and flavour. At the same time, a series of line-art characters provides the brand's human heartbeat. These figures, rendered with the same "taped" stroke as the wordmark, translate the E11VN experience into simple, soulful gestures—from the first sip of a morning brew to the immersive energy of a live set. By embracing intentional imperfection, the identity forges an immediate connection with urban culture, evolving beyond a mere logo into a tangible expression of authenticity for an audience that values the grit of a live performance as much as the soul of a carefully crafted coffee.

The brand embraces the search for sustainable, often overlooked ingredients, making every can a tribute to the unsung heroes of the forest. Packed with bold, layered flavours and a spirit of discovery, Forest Water invites you to enjoy the whole experience, from the clarity of mountain streams to the warmth of a night under the stars.

Indie Paradiso— The Mineral Sunscreen for Sensitive Skins
BRANDING

Created for those who dislike the feel of traditional sunscreen, Indie Paradiso is a mineral SPF 50+ for sensitive skin designed to feel like skincare rather than a chore. Inspired by the founder's daughter, Indie, who has sensitive skin and a love for sun-soaked days, this fragrance-free and reef-safe formula was developed after a search for a gentle, non-nano, and effective mineral SPF proved fruitless. Made in Australia, the dermatologist-tested and non-comedogenic sunscreen melts into the skin without leaving a chalky residue or greasy finish, providing calm, conscious protection for a life filled with salty hair and sandy toes. It offers an alternative to sunscreens that are clinical or sticky, promising integrity and quality for you and the ocean.

Willow By The Sea— Here’s to the little moments
BRANDING

Driven by their search for pure, organic skincare for their daughter Willow, Luke and Corina founded Willow by the Sea in Newcastle, Australia. Inspired by family heritage and the gentle power of plants and essential oils, they craft 100% certified organic skincare for moms and little ones. Central to Willow by the Sea's identity was creating the core message: “Your story matters.” This is visually communicated through the packaging: each product features a single, framed illustration, elevating individual narratives. Inspired by the personal touch of instant photos, this design choice emphasises the uniqueness of each experience. The visual identity presents an authentic rawness, supported by a mature yet fresh colour palette that conveys a grounded sensibility. This thoughtful approach to packaging and visuals reinforces Willow by the Sea's core message: To celebrate every story is to honour the profound significance of motherhood.

Here Magazine— No. 31
BRANDING

The concept behind this numbering system is to “inhabit” the numbers. To illustrate this idea, we create each number using the counterform resource, where the space within the shape is the protagonist. Initially, the design was developed in a two-dimensional format consistent with our logo design practice, but it later evolved to incorporate volume—metaphorically referencing Architecture. In summary, each number emerges from the silence of the space.

Walker Brothers— A Family culture kombucha

Walker Brothers approached us in 2018 to create their brand identity and packaging design. They brew traditional and high gravity (alcoholic) kombucha in Nashville, USA. For them, brewing kombucha is a family affair because they inherited the company's first SCOBY (the live culture used to make kombucha) from their aunt. This tradition inspired the slogan — 'A family culture'.
