荣鼎轩 Rong Ding Xuan Rebranding

Traditional craftsmanship is at heart more sustainable and run counter to planned obsolescence of modern day mass consumption products. This pursuit of excellence in craftsmanship and honesty in treatment of materials is what we sought to express in our design.

It is with this deep sense of respect that we set out this rebranding exercise. Subtlety in expression, a graceful elegance that is reserved and confident. Semiotically, we positioned their brand in the middle between ultra conservative redwood industry and uber design oriented modern chinese furniture brands. Grounded in history and traditional crafts but forward looking and open. Finding an appropriate way to visually communicate their products is core to this project. We borrowed photographic styles from prestige watch and car visuals to convey the premium nature of their products. The sharp highlights against a dark background showcase the beautiful lines and surface gloss of the furniture.
