Concept study — a self-initiated exploration, not client work

Nou Studio — Design goods · Denmark
01 The brief we set

A design goods brand where the storefront has to be as considered as the objects.

Concept studies are how we work out a category before a client asks us to. We take a sector, set ourselves the constraints a real brief would have, and design against them. No client, no deadline, and nothing to lose by trying the harder answer first.

02 What we worked out

Restraint as the brand

For a design audience the interface is a work sample. Every unnecessary element costs credibility with exactly the people you want.

Editorial and commerce together

Process and making sit alongside the shop, because for this buyer the story is part of the object.

Typography doing the work

With a small range and strong objects, the type system carries the identity rather than decoration.
