AN ODE TO COLOUR



Stills, motion and creative direction for Finnish Design Shop with photographer Bryan Saragosa.

We developed a Black Week campaign that celebrates the enduring allure of Finnish Design Shop’s high-quality and timeless products. 
In this new body of work, we explore the themes of longevity and the brands’ design philosophy through a blend of interactive elements and carefully composed still life photography.

The main idea behind this campaign was to surprise the existing customers and intrigue new ones by using a playful and immersive visual direction.

ATTRACTION MAGAZINE


Attraction Magazine – Issue 003: Urgency | ART DIRECTION, GRAPHIC DESIGN, INTERVIEWS

“In the third issue of Attraction Magazine, we are exploring the sense of urgency in our personal lives (identity) and in the world surrounding us (society and nature). Urgency, that comes from somewhere deep within us – a driving force that has to surface. However, urgency does not always coexist with importance. But if it does, powerful things can happen, fast.
This topic is explored through interviews, essays, short stories and poems created by, and of, people who inspire us.
Designed and published by Veli Studio.

A SPACE FOR CREATIVE FREEDOM


The Finnish National Gallery, an institution dedicated to the promotion of arts and culture, brought us on board for the creation of Alusta. The goal was to create an identity for a web3 based creative platform, enabling individuals to authentically express themselves and fostering creative innovation. 

Alusta is a digital platform opening a new era of digital art and creativity. The platform seeks to empower a diverse audience, including creators, enthusiasts, and tech-savvy individuals, providing an immersive and inclusive experience. Alusta champions progressiveness, inclusivity, collaboration, and diversity, creating an environment that encourages experimentation and the pushing of digital expression boundaries.

The visual identity of Alusta reflects the fusion and continuous evolution of creativity. We took a strategic approach to develop this identity focus on tackling the ambitious goal and values of Alusta. The identity presents the boundary-pushing dimension of collective artistic expression, the power of connection, and the fostering of innovation and experimentation. The logo and symbols are a combination of geometric shapes and playful lines, reminiscent of early computer graphics yet presented with a modern twist. Drawing inspiration from the evolution of the digital realm and the role of computing in contemporary art, the visual elements signify Alusta’s commitment to innovation.

In a world where art and technology seamlessly intertwine, Arca invites you to embark on an ethereal journey through a realm of endless possibilities.

BAY STUDIOS +


Bay Studios, a Helsinki-based pilates studio, approached us with a task: to create marketing and visual materials to support the launch of their new online pilates class platform, “Bay Studios +.” Our goal was to introduce the brand with bold and attention-grabbing films and photography, drawing inspiration from fashion advertising. Our visuals needed to, not only catch the viewer’s eye, but also effectively convey a clear message. The platform’s key attributes are reliability and approachability, catering to those seeking progressive training amidst busy schedules.


Antoine Paikert aka Esquive Studio (b. 1996) is a French, Helsinki-based, self-taught multidisciplinary creative. 

Antoine finds inspiration in the seemingly insignificant human emotions. An exposure to the arts at his roots in the French Mediterranean and enriched through travels, living in Germany, then China before settling down in Finland, has gifted him with a unique vision and take on art.
