L Living

Product Design & Branding

How do you capture the imagination of a rapidly changing Chinese market?

The Challenge

L Living is a new business founded on the shoulders of China's leading homeware franchise: Luolai Group. To stay ahead of the curve, the Group needed a new brand that would connect with the world's fastest-growing middle-class consumers.

 

Our challenge was to keep pace while grounding the business in something concrete.

The Journey

Rapid developments in China have brought with it a younger, cosmopolitan and internationalistic attitude where ideas are spread quickly across social platforms. Inspired by this fervent media consumption, we defined a direction that was as high impact and conducive to change. We called it 'Living in a Magazine' and it allowed consumers to imagine a dream space and stay receptive to seasonal ideas.

Branding 

The direction led to a Store Flow and Communications Strategy with a hierarchy that ensured a clear filter of information. Just like a magazine the aim was to provoke interest and then draw customers into the detail.
