COCO TO THE TRADE

PROJECT TYPE:
  • LOGO REFINEMENT
  • COLOR PALETTE & TYPOGRAPHY SYSTEM
  • BESPOKE WEBSITE DESIGN
INDUSTRY: FURNITURE & FURNISHINGS PROCUREMENT AGENTS
LOCATION: USA

COCO to the Trade is an expert team of interior design purchasing agents. Led by Mary Gorman, who has 16 years of Wall Street experience and a few more running her own interiors showroom, this dynamic team has experienced stellar growth and needed a website that not just matched it, but also made it easier for them to automate their onboarding process.

We worked closely together to refine their old logo, color palette, and typography before getting started on the website. With over 200 trade-only vendors in their list, the service they provide is invaluable to interior designers. It was such a joy making the website look and feel beautiful, polished, and streamlined. The color palette and typography system, not to mention the clean layout, and on-brand headshots (with creative direction from across continents!) all serve to reinforce their message.

Hard truths by creative business strategist @melis Hard truths by creative business strategist @melissagalt 
Positioning is a decision.
You don’t wait to be selected by whoever inquires. You choose.
Choose who you want to work with, what you want to be known for, and how you want your business to be perceived.
That’s positioning.
A bold, dramatic, editorial-inspired brand identit A bold, dramatic, editorial-inspired brand identity for a psychology-informed company that is centered on people. 
The custom monogram forms the letters H and A, but if you look at it long enough, you'll notice the curves of the letter A forms a letter L - which stands for Lisa, the founder's name. 
We wanted the brand to look and feel premium but welcoming, as befits her years of experience and level of expertise.
The typefaces surfacing this week share a theme: n The typefaces surfacing this week share a theme: not serifs broadly, but a specific vintage register, letterforms with visible weight variation, a slightly worn edge, the sense that someone drew them by hand. 
The Ashcombe Hall has the gravity of a country house library, the kind of face you'd expect stamped in gold on a leather spine. Vintage Serenade moves looser, more lyrical, closer to something a calligrapher would have signed.
Design has swung this way before. When the Industrial Revolution made everything fast and identical, William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement answered with ornament, with craft, with the visible mark of the maker. The clean grid had its long turn at the wheel. This particular kind of type, textured, hand-cut, carrying a sense of history in the strokes, is having its own.
The antiques returning to people's living rooms and this type returning to branding are doing the same work. Both are reminding us a skilled hand was involved.
The Victorians read morning glory as fleeting love The Victorians read morning glory as fleeting love. I read it as a flower that simply knows when to leave the party.
