Kiln & Co.
(Identity · 2024)Identity and labels for a small-batch ceramics studio.
01 — The brief
Where they were
Kiln & Co. had outgrown the brand they started with. It looked like everyone else in ceramics, and it wasn’t telling people what made them different.
We began with interviews, a visual audit and a workshop with the founders to find the one idea worth building everything around.
02 — The edit
What we cut, what we kept
We explored widely, then edited hard: three routes became one. The result is a system built on a single idea, with type, colour and imagery that all say the same thing.
Every touchpoint, from guidelines to social, was designed to work as one family.
