LVMH

Jun 2018

LVMH brings a masterclass in luxury brand identity to life through its work for Clos19, demonstrating how material craft can serve as the ultimate vehicle for premium storytelling. This project is a sophisticated exercise in commercial graphic design, where the identity feels less like a static logo and more like a tactile, living system. By prioritizing an interplay of textures—ranging from the soft, opulent folds of deep forest green velvet to the crisp, rigid architecture of matte black and white paper stocks—the visual strategy channels a minimalist luxury that feels both timeless and sharp. The execution leans heavily into the evocative power of emboss and deboss techniques, which allow the letterforms to catch the light and create depth that draws the viewer into the brand’s high-end universe. The imagery employs a deliberate mix of soft, natural lighting and strategic chiaroscuro to highlight the structural precision of the retail packaging, balancing abstract graphic patterns with organic, editorial still-life elements. With graphic design by COMMISSION, the branding creates an atmosphere of refinement where everyday items like envelopes, shopping bags, and stationery are elevated into art objects. This series succeeds by finding the perfect tension between corporate sterility and artistic warmth, resulting in a cohesive identity that signals quality at every touchpoint while maintaining an understated, premium aesthetic that feels distinctly modern.
