Rebranding Maison du lin (Association Roumois, terres vivantes en Haute-Normandie)
CHALLENGE: La Maison du Lin, the Linen House Museum in Routot, Normandy, France, sought to revitalize its image and brand identity, they envisioned a brand that captured the essence of linen, its rich history, enduring quality, and timeless elegance.
SOLUTIONS: leveraging my expertise in rebranding and packaging, I embarked on a journey to weave a new visual narrative for La Maison du Lin.
BRANDING: the looming brand identity, the core concept for the rebranding draws inspiration from the very essence of linen, the art of weaving.
Each letter in the word "MAISON" is meticulously crafted to resemble threads on a loom, intricately connected to one another, this visual metaphor beautifully represents the museum's connection to the history and tradition of linen craftsmanship.
The remaining words, "du Lin" ("of Linen"), are seamlessly integrated, completing the harmonious composition, the entire brandmark is elegantly signed with "Haute Normandie," signifying the museum's geographical and cultural heritage.
Flexibility by design, the innovative design ensures exceptional versatility, the rebranding can be effortlessly applied to a wide range of mediums, both inside and outside the museum walls, fostering a cohesive brand experience across all touchpoints.
TYPOGRAPHY: Arsenica, a font steeped in History, the carefully chosen typeface, Arsenica, is a serif font that strikes a perfect balance between modern sensibilities and historical roots, its elegant strokes evoke a sense of tradition, perfectly complementing the museum's rich heritage.
RESULT: the rebranding of La Maison du Lin is a testament to the power of thoughtful design, it is a brand identity that not only reflects the museum's legacy but also ushers in a new era, woven with threads of tradition and innovation.
