The Design

With a strong focus on texture and a limited color palette that emphasized cold weather and the feeling of warmth lighting a candle can bring, this site focused on using background imagery to tell a story and guide the user through the products to create an exceptional e-commerce experience.

The mood board defined the feelings that surround the mentality of Hygge and set the stage for the mix of illustration and collage.

Illustration & Collage

Illustrations created in Procreate became the main building block of this brand’s identity. Overlaid with a texture and paired with collaged visuals, these folk art style images created the coziness and wonder for the site.
