Whether it was the sticky sidewalks or the call of the coast, this summer it felt more important than ever to Get Away. Our latest campaign for @away captured this urgency with action movie aesthetics and nods to airport signage.

Everything comes together with Kingston. Kingston originally built its name on brass, but they’ve long outgrown it. As their product range expanded, so did their ambition, and what began as a small LA-based operation became a major player in the category, trusted by homeowners, designers, and contractors alike. The only thing missing? A brand that felt as intentional as their products. We developed a new visual identity that elevates every detail, from a refined wordmark and monogram to a color palette and typographic system designed to feel timeless. The curves of the wordmark nod subtly to plumbing forms, while the droplet in the monogram honors their origins as a faucet company. The system is built to flex across audiences and styles, with clarity at the center and craftsmanship in every corner. Beyond the look and feel, we helped Kingston re-architect their portfolio to make sense of their growing breadth. The result is a brand that can stretch across 20+ finishes, hundreds of SKUs, and a bigger vision without ever losing coherence. Because for a company known for bringing a room together, the brand had to bring everything else together too.

Fragrance layering just became much less complex. ⁠ ⁠ For The Nue Co’s Nostalgia Layering Collection, @combo.ny created packaging that uses sculptural glass, soft tonal color stories, and a quietly confident visual system. The bottles lean into translucent hues like milky cream, muted plum, and deep cobalt, making scent selection feel intuitive instead of technical. ⁠ ⁠ Link in bio for the full article. #design #branding #linkinbio #graphicdesign #packagingdesign #thedieline #dieline #packaging
