May 2023

In late 2022, HATO were approached to craft a rebrand and global campaign for professional photography software Capture One. The brief for the brand was to engage with the talented and creative users that create their work with the tool, but seldom speak about it, and the global video campaign for the new iPhone app launch continued this theme, whilst targeting a more USA audience. Please note parts of this project have not yet launched.

Details to the rebrand include a custom mono typeface and wordmark, inspired by the engraved lettering and numerals on original Phase One lenses, as well as a design system based on true-to-life actions undertaken whilst shooting. For the campaign, we targeted photographers who shoot outdoors to prove Capture One isn’t just for the studio. The visuals chosen focused on a fashion-led shoot that mirrored the concept of ‘Freedom to Move’.

September 2022

MM:NT is an upcoming hotel chain focused on targeting a specific audience and ultra fast growth. Coming A/W 2023 to a small tester hotel in Berlin, it’s set to expand across Europe and the USA soon after. Explore MM:NT here.

We built the brand around moments that feel fleeting when travelling, focusing on the clock as a visual touchpoint for the concept to anchor to a specific time captured through photography. The brand is crafyed to target a young, cool, and creative audience without feeling exclusive.

Hato Store

2020–Present

A variety of still life and model imagery captured over a 3 year period, from in the studio to on set. Purposes focus mainly on ecommerce use; newsletters, socials and landing pages.

I’ve been conceiving and creating art direction and strategy for Hato Store since its opening in March 2020. The chosen direction balances hand-crafed high-end products with Hato Store’s signature value of play.

DELLI

HATO

June 2022

DELLI is a new food app created by Depop founder Simon Beckerman. HATO were approached to create a visual identity for the brand, as well as the app and website design for their internal team to develop. Explore DELLI here.

We first looked into the history of Delicatessens around the world, finding final inspiration in the US for the DELLI wordmark. The logo sits atop earthy yet bright palettes that reference some of the masters of Italian design such as Enzo Mari. To tie it together, the photography direction is real, honest and a snapshot into the moment; no ‘can you just hold that there for a sec.’

CISO

HATO

January 2022

CISO is an upcoming luxury brand of CBD spray, entering the market as the purest form of CBD. HATO were comissioned to create the branding and website for the spray from a Parisian client, launching soon in Dover Street Market Paris, targeting a fashion-led audience. Please note this project is not yet live.

Working with the spray’s crystal glass bottles, HATO created a digital tool to feed images through and manually tweak to give the look of glass. The art direction takes note of iconic understated 90’s luxury brands to target the fashion audience, whilst the colour palette plays on the shades of pink the spray goes under certain conditions.
