In confidence

Some of the houses we have drawn for. The work itself stays private.

I · Discretion

Sealed, as standard

You will not find our brand work on this page. That is the point: what we make for a house belongs to the house.

  1. § 1

    An NDA first

    We sign yours, or send ours, before you share a single file. Every brand project begins this way.

  2. § 2

    Your guidelines, kept

    Typefaces, colours, marks and tone handled exactly as your brand book asks.

  3. § 3

    Never shown

    Nothing appears on our website, our social channels or in a portfolio unless you say so in writing.

IV · Process

From the first call to the room

  1. 01

    A call

    Zoom or phone with the studio. The NDA is signed before anything confidential is shared.

  2. 02

    A proposal

    Direction, formats, finishes and a schedule, quoted for your project and shaped around your budget.

  3. 03

    The drawing

    The artwork is drawn by hand in the studio. Digital proofs follow until it is exactly right.

  4. 04

    Production

    Dates confirmed in writing before we begin. Samples when the run calls for them.

  5. 05

    Delivery

    Tracked to each venue and city, on the date, ready for the room.

V · Live

Drawn live, at your event

For launches, store openings and private dinners, we draw live. A guest’s portrait, a monogram, a detail of the room, finished on a matchbox they carry home.

Drawn in front of them, in your colours and under your direction. The queue becomes part of the evening, and the object outlasts it.
