Brand
Palisander
Palisander is a Lisbon gallery dealing in design pieces and objects worth collecting. I created the brand identity and built the website, including an online shop and a journal.
The brief
Palisander needed an identity that felt as considered as the pieces it sells. It had to look at home beside furniture, glass and ceramics from many periods, and it needed to work everywhere, from a business card to an Instagram grid. It also needed a website that could sell the pieces and tell the stories behind them.
The work
The name is a rosewood, so the palette starts there, from Rosewood and Coral to Wedgwood and Ebony. The mark is a P with a full stop inside a circle, and each part can take a different colour, with guidelines for the pairings that work. On screen it changes colour in quick, flat cuts, the way a collector’s eye moves from piece to piece. The website is a calm shop that lets the objects lead, with Designphiles, a journal on design and collecting whose categories are colour-coded so you can browse by colour as well as subject. The same system runs through business cards, Instagram and email.
The result
Palisander has a complete, flexible identity, with a shop and journal built for the gallery to run and grow itself.
