Restore Home and Organics
Creative direction, branding, web-design and packaging design for Restore Home and Organics. A candle, wellness and home fragrance brand with you and nature in mind.
As a scent-scape brand, Restore creates nature-led offerings for body and home that invite small, enriching moments towards a healthy life and environment. Through creative direction, branding and design, we embodied the therapeutic nature of Restore’s beautiful offerings to translate the feeling of wellbeing into tangible brand moments, encompassing the emotional and sensorial landscape that customers navigate through.
“In an increasingly busy and demanding world, we often overlook the things that are healthy and beneficial for us. In creating Restore, we sought a healthier, more conscious and intentional lifestyle, and to contribute to a more holistic, authentic and sustainable future.” — Sian, Restore
With careful consideration of digital and physical experiences, we designed a visual brand world that mirrors the calm experiential nature of Restore’s essential-oil blends. We sought to quiet excess visual noise in the design, thinking of how these products would feel, look and be used within a space (or encountered in the digital), seeking subtlety to enhance and not detract from scent as the primary sense these products invite connection with.
”Beautiful things don’t ask for attention.”
Beyond scent, tactility is foundational in Restore’s products — the circling of oil on skin, the motion of dripping blends into a diffuser, the warmth of the candle flame, the careful handful of salts into a bath. As a studio deeply interested in ideas of the tangible, tactility guides our material choices in a balance of function and aesthetic sensibility to amplify the experience of a brand and the unboxing of each packaged object. For Restore, this exploration extends into a wider plant-based circular design philosophy. The home compostable candle boxes, manufactured from unbleached agricultural waste, are accompanied by details of plantable seeded paper for dust sheets and tags. In collaboration with a local ceramicist, refill candles are available to encourage a circular philosophy and invite deeper connection to the ritual of replacing favourite blends.
Through each consideration, we have created a circular brand world that enriches the holistic nature of Restore, creating moments of connection that resonate both in physical and digital spaces.
