Hammonds Showroom

_Idea_

Hammonds are committed to an unrivalled design approach to fitted furniture, with every bespoke project occurring in-house at their Leicester workshop; driving them to coin the phrase ‘it’s just us from start to finish’. As they sought to revitalise their retail presence, it was this dedication to quality, control and personalised service which inspired our concept for the revamped brand identity.

Dedication to quality

_Insight_

Our design approach focused on all brand touch points, from the logo, typography and the tone of voice of the language, the colour palette and art direction of the new photography, through to the layout of the new showroom concept. The addition of the ‘since 1926’ crest provides a seal of endorsement and authenticity, marking Hammonds’ 90 years of experience, whilst the refreshed retail palette and editorial narrative drives the modernisation of the brand.

_Realisation_

The design heritage and traditional values of Hammonds, which are so important to the company, are reflected in the new identity, which has a contemporary, yet classic feel, worthy of a brand with Hammonds’ reputation.

Testimonial

"We have worked with D4R for over 4 years now with them initially managing the re brand including logo creation as well as designing and implementing our flagship showroom in Hinckley. They are currently in the process of helping us roll out the new look showrooms which is an ongoing project. We come back to D4R each time as their professionalism and attention to detail is second to none!"

Every trend has an opposite, a counterpart that is its antithesis, and these ‘design dualities’ is precisely what our latest insight report explores. Delving into these dualities is not merely about style; it’s decoding the unspoken conversation of fractured communities, seeking pathways for bridge building through forms that reflect our division.
