This contemporary lighting and furniture brand is known for its pioneering approach to manufacture and design, using a technique known as steam bending. We were commissioned to take a fresh look at the brand’s logo and guidelines, and create a beautiful, user-focused ecommerce platform.

Refining an iconic brand mark

To ensure that Tom Raffield’s online presence was cohesive and visually stunning, we made subtle updates to the brand’s logo and shorthand mark. This second option, shortened to the initials TR, is also used on products with surfaces too small to feature the full logo.

Creating a design for designers

Craftsmanship lies at the heart of the Tom Raffield brand, and in redesigning its website, we created something that truly reflects this. Attractive and versatile, it quickly conveys the ethos of the company and guides the all-important sales journey, while also being easy to update in-house.
