Scope of Work
Spatial branding, signage, carry bags, gift boxes, retail tag design.
The Brief
The Baby Atelier, an established online apparel and furniture store catering to toddlers aged 6 months to 12 years, sought to expand into the physical retail space. The challenge was to transition the brand from its digital roots to a tangible store in Bangalore, while maintaining its core brand language of minimalism. The project involved facade branding, interior store branding, and designing various branding materials.
Facade Branding
The store's exterior was designed to be inviting yet reflective of The Baby Atelier’s minimalist aesthetic. This included creating eye-catching signage and designing stickers for the glass facade, ensuring a cohesive look that resonates with the brand’s online presence.
Interior Store Branding
Inside the store, careful attention was paid to branding across various sections – including the reception area, fitting rooms, and product displays. The interior branding was crucial in creating a seamless shopping experience that echoed the brand's online identity.
Custom Tags, Carry Bags, and Gift Boxes
Every detail was considered in the transition. This included custom tags for clothing and furniture, carry bags, and gift boxes, all designed in line with the minimalist brand language. These items not only served functional purposes but also acted as subtle branding tools.
Maintaining Minimalism
A key aspect of the project was to ensure the brand's minimalist ethos was translated effectively into the physical store. This involved choosing a color palette, typeface, and design elements that were aligned with the brand’s established online identity.
Creating a Consistent Brand Experience
The overall goal was to create a consistent brand experience for customers transitioning from the online store to the physical location. This consistency was critical in retaining existing customers and attracting new ones, ensuring they felt a sense of familiarity with the brand.
