Website

The existence of the new Oliva Bolhão store as a new physical space for the brand, encourages its adaptation and its parallel positioning to the digital environment, namely from a personalised website, a place to call home.

The new website foresees the use of the conceptual and graphic bases developed for the brand’s visual identity, and its adaptation to the digital environment.

It presents a homepage separated in 03 sections of interest (presentation, catalogue, communication) allowing the user to easily access to the different pages of the platform.

The presentation and demonstration of the brand’s concept, as well as its product catalogue, are highlighted, with pages reserved for each of these themes. The conceptual approach and art direction of the website is based on the coexistence of geometric shapes with natural photographic elements.

is a project by studium . creative studio, the result of a selection and ambition of a multidisciplinary and complementary team, dedicated to the development of architecture, communication design and product design projects. Focused on the process and its irrefutability, studium is guided by its mojo, an assertive blend of rigorous vision, passion and oddity, a mojo that defines the way we design a career in the studio. Architects and designers aligned by a methodology and disciplined practice, known as Methodological System, in an environment characterised by a constant critic of the models of developing project. 

studium is related with two other complementary entities, intrinsically linked to the interpolated vision of the creative practice:

AMMP – brand and management agency
and
PTMade – production house

These two arms are specialised development paths, related to the critique of each project and the content creation ecosystem. This way, we provide a complete approach to the communication and creative production systems. This is an ecosystem that unifies strategy, criticism and results.

Visual Identity

The redesign of the Oliva & Co. coincides with the relocation for Mercado do Bolhão. This turning point for the brand reinforces the need to update the visual identity, and for it to become capable of adapting to different media and communication supports.

The main concept focuses on the inseparable relationship between the olive tree and its leaf, the later being the basic geometric structure for the development of the logotype.

The design of the identity involves the customisation of the description “Oliva”, created from the elongated shape of the olive leaf, a form that allows for a regularisation of the metrics for the construction of the brand’s name. The Oliva graphic identity seeks to position the brand on a high-end level through the combination of sober and elegant colours and carefully though typography, although with very present industrial roots. Thus, the customisation of the logo places the identity on a level of exclusivity and uniqueness, with the adjacent toolkit being a complement and reinforcement of the brand’s positioning. This toolkit (colour palette, typography and photographic art direction) allows the identity a more pronounced expression (valuing the industrial component), without escaping the positioning and the intended target audience.
