July 2021

Our cooperation with One Telecommunications has continued from strength to strength. After the new retail and brand launch in September 2020 with new retail concept by us, this new brand has achieved a significant brand awareness and a new customer base.

20 years of Reval Cafe

July 2021

Reval Café is celebrating its 20th anniversary this summer. This wonderful brand has won the hearts of its customers with 16 Reval Café locations across Estonia along with standalone Reval Gelato cafes and a Take-away shop.  

Our cooperation with Reval started over 5 years ago, with the first project being Reval Gelato retail concept at the Viru Keskus Shopping Centre in Tallinn.  After successful concept launch we created several new Gelato locations across Estonia, each with a unique look and feel.

Our cooperation continued with a creation of a new Reval Café take-away concept in the Solaris Shopping Centre in Tallinn. This take-away café follows the main brand image with a fun and youthful appearance, and provides food to go.

Since then we designed the new Reval Café concept that has now been implemented in two locations, Rocca-al-Mare Shopping Centre in Tallinn and in Paju 2 offices building in Tartu, which opened in late summer 2020.

We wish continued success to Reval Cafe and their hard working team.

Mega Apetit, Romania

New branded packaging concept


April 2021

Mega Image, the leading supermarket chain in Romania with a network of over 800 stores, has launched the new own-brand packaging concept.

The Mega Apetit brand covers a wide variety of ‘ready to eat’ foods and the new packaging design concept had to be easily applicable to this incredible variety of products.

We created the bold and direct aesthetic of the graphic design, to assist the fast-paced buying process that takes place in the category of grocery retail. The design focusses on the key attributes that the customer is looking for, for example ‘Totally Vegan’, ‘High in Protein’ or ‘Treat Yourself’.

The ‘By Chefs’ sub-category is given an elevated appearance through the use of a more minimal design aesthetic.

The new Mega Apetit range launched in February 2021 across Romania, available throughout the Mega Image retail network and for online delivery..

Konzept Haus Interiors 

New Retail Concept

April 2021

Over the past year we worked with GARANT Group, the international B2B buying group, to create a new furniture retail brand Konzept Haus Interiors. Konzept Haus Interiors offers innovative and carefully curated design collections for ‘urban and smart living’. 

A revolutionary new concept in the furniture industry, Konzept Haus brings together the real world experience of retail, the convenience of online and a unique personalised service in the customers home. Konzept Haus brings the iconic German furniture design and style to an international audience, drawing on the modern cultural movements of Germany as a centre for creative thinking.

The store philosophy of “Create Your Kollektion” puts a focus on combining the furniture and accessories into coherent collections, rather than focusing on singular pieces of furniture. Personalised ‘Interior Design Service’ assists customers to create their unique personal living spaces.

The Konzept Haus Interiors retail brand was launched to the public in April 2021.

New Concept Facade Branding & Identity

2020

A first peek at our new Mega Image supermarket facade & external identity concept. Launched in early 2020 with a totally new design of logo and branding elements for all various store façades and their many external signage elements.

The façade concept was created for the variety of Mega Image stores and we formatted the design concept into City, Small, Medium and Concept stores classifications.

Beckworth Emporium, UK

Celebrating Entrepreneurship at Beckworth Emporium


August 2020

Numerous businesses have worked incredibly hard during the last few months to survive the COVID-19 crisis. During this time, the management team at Beckworth Emporium have demonstrated a true entrepreneurial ‘out of the box’ thinking.

This independent business, situated in rural Northamptonshire, has for many years provided a combination of Food, Gifts and Garden supplies along with an Award Winning restaurant employing close to 200 local people. After the initial lockdown period, early July saw Beckworth Emporium re-open its door to ‘retail only’ by taking the existing restaurant and food hall areas and turning them into the most generous retail space providing ample social distancing.

As for the restaurant, being such a key part of the Beckworth customer experience, the management quickly decided that when lockdown allowed, they use a glasshouse building as a temporary Pop-up Restaurant. Re-using the existing furniture and kitchen equipment, adding new screens, wall structures, AstroTurf flooring along with a totally new branding and graphics concept, the warm and welcoming ‘Garden Restaurant’ was born! This whole process took ‘less than six weeks’ with just a little help from KVB Design. In early august, the new spacious Garden Restaurant opened its doors and happy queuing customers adopted the new Restaurant from the very first day of opening.  

Is this the largest COVID friendly Restaurant in the UK? What we definitely know is that Beckworth Emporium has proved that ‘In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity’, as quoted by Albert Einstein.

With a little help from us on the new Garden Restaurant name, Logo, Branding, Graphics and design of the restaurant layout concept and temporary structures.

I wanted to write to you directly to keep you informed of some of the steps we’re taking during these uncertain times as a business to ensure we’re able to serve our many international clients by staying open for business.
