Creating a life well-lived.

Floor 9 is a collection of artisan-designed goods, made accessible for today’s consumer.

We were given the task of re-imagining what this brand could become. We went back to the drawing board, building upon what had worked for the line in the past. Dead ends were discarded and the collection was streamlined down to a tight, effective assortment that spoke with a single voice.

We refocused our vision toward boutique techniques, modern organic forms, and luxurious finishes. All excess was cut away, leaving an elegantly refined collection for our most trend-conscious consumer. Sales and market response showed considerable improvement upon relaunch.

My personal responsibilities included art direction, product design, brand voice development, and copy writing.

 Branding + Voice

Short section of a larger video introducing the Floor 9 brand.

Floor 9 is an artisan home goods brand for the trend-conscious consumer. Our re-imagining of the brand emphasized our unique forms, finishes, and techniques and foregrounded our international team of designers and artists. The voice we developed was equal parts elevated and fun, like a conversation with a smart friend at a house party.

Décor

Our design team traveled the world to find and repurpose one-of-a-kind objects. Once used for storing grain, these vessels were banded in brass and transformed into conversation-starting planters. The candlesticks — borrowed from Indian daybed bolsters — are reclaimed and ready to hold your preferred pillars.
