BRIEF: The world of Pastiche is a riot of textures, materials, and creativity oozing out to form a union of craft, culture, and aesthetics. Made by craftsmen from the interiors of India, their products are sure to find a place in your home and your heart.
APPROACH: As an extremely dynamic brand that offers a wide range of crafts, Pastiche called for an amalgamation of natural textures, colours, and contemporary settings. Every Pastiche product is carefully handmade by the local craftsmen, which had to be translated into their brand design.
How could we create a consistent language for a brand that uses traditional crafts from all around the world to make contemporary products?
The first hurdle we encountered was to find a way of representing very different crafts through a unified visual entity and depicting Pastiche’s story of how artisans from across the country make contemporary products. Since each product had a different story to tell, we developed a brand pattern that showcased how different elements combine together to form something new.
Each design element used was made of a different shape, size, and texture to mirror the diversity of their products. To signify how each product is handmade, we also integrated a fingerprint which became one of the most vital design elements.
All these elements combined together formed the logo for the brand Pastiche.
